Then he goes off and we become more dangerous? I mean that is a fucking shit striker to have, one that makes your attack worse? Did you watch us play before he arrived?

He's a panic buy based on 1 FA Cup match where we put a lot of crosses in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
relámpago blanco Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 People obviously didn't watch the match if they thought Wood was an issue. He was good. He didn't score but I don't think he will score many with the way he is and the way Eddie wants him to play. He does what Eddie asks to a tee. We dominated that game and should have won but wood wasn't the issue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menace Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 We'd have been no worse off holding onto Joselu but alas, you're bound to get some stinkers. 1 in 9 is still a very good track record Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happinesstan Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Trouble for me is that it's obvious to everybody that he isn't good enough for where we want to be, so what's the point in raising it every 5 minutes? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandrotastico Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 He's heavy, immobile and plays on his heels. Other than the odd header and lay off he really offers nothing. Sure he's a great lad but he's simple not good enough to be starting for us or most EPL teams. His limitations far outweigh his strengths, I've said it before but he reminds me of your stereotypical 80's target man, unfortunately the game asks more of a striker these days.

Klaus Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 (edited) I don't think he compliments our set-up/formation sadly. We just don't have great service from our wide. Almiron et al get into good positions then take an extra touch and bottle taking on the cross. He is 'caught on his heels' often, probably due to the lack of early delivery. He would probably benefit from a more 'old fashioned' wide player, running down the line and whipping crosses in early, but we don't really have anyone in that mould. He was a useful asset last season when we were desperate, but realistically i don't think it will work out for him here.

The College Dropout Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Aye. Don’t play to his strengths at all. I wonder if we could get £10m for him and use that money for a player more suited like a Joao Pedro. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jinky Jim Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 We could well have stayed up last season without Wood and saved £25M….however we really don’t know what effect his signing had on Howe’s tactical plan and whether relying on Gayle would have proved to be just as successful….What I do know is that £25M is a price worth paying for our survival last season, one we may or may not have achieved if we didn’t gamble on his transfer. He may now be a bit redundant and 3rd choice in the pecking order, but I for one, am glad we went along the road in his transfer. He won’t get any stick from me, as he’s highly unlikely to make that many appearances for the rest of the season….I’m just grateful that with Wood in the team last season we not only survived but nearly finished in the top half of the table.

Weezertron Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 I don't enjoy being negative about specific players, but at least his contract was only 2.5yrs. Suspect he'll be here until he can leave on a free. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverThere Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 The way we have been setting up both wingers don't cross much, not sure if this inverted winger idea plays to his strengths. In theory the wing backs would be overlapping and providing the crosses but I haven't seen that happening much. So all in all it doesn't suit Wood.

gbandit Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 So, Klopp is angling for a deadline deal for Wood is he? I’d hate to lose one of our best players so late in the window but who are we to stand in his way Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
