HawK Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 1 hour ago, Miercoles said: I mean, I'm not even a Chris Wood hater I thought he was really important for us last season and I don't think we stay up without him (ASM at CF was horrific). But in this game... They didn't even say his name for the first thirty minutes. He missed his only other chance and just kind of looked miserable. I dunno, I hope he kicks on from here because the goal he did score was a nice one. Vs Norwich he tore them asunder, it wasn't all bad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiquidAK Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Would’ve had a 2nd too if not shoved in the back just as he was shooting. Could easily have been a 2 goal, 1 assist game from him if the ref wasn’t so turboshit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Sure he’s limited but we will never truly play to his strengths. At least with Trippier playing there’ll be better crossing for headed chances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HTT II Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Give him the number 9 shirt… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Parka Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 He has a surprising lack of strikers instinct. His knock downs are getting better but he's far too limited otherwise. Not a target man, nor a modern striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 We looked a much better side with no striker than with him up top, he hardly does anything right, tripper kept trying to pick him out but he's always in the wrong position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Parka Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Waste o space. Someone said right, a plank of wood would offer more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Yet to score with either foot from open play in over 20 games, and showing no signs that is going to change. Thankfully he'll be further from the pitch when Isak finally gets a work permit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaus Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 I wasn't happy playing with no Striker on the pitch, but tbf to Howe, he took a gamble and it worked. I still don't think he played badly, but remember he is third choice striker now in the grand scheme of things Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakka Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 (edited) He's played plenty of games for us now - you just can't ever see him being useful for us from what he's done here. Glad Isak pushes him further from ever starting. Edited August 28, 2022 by hakka Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. I'd rather play any other fucker in the squad as a "false 9" compared to that plank. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Significantly inferior to the player of 2 years ago or so at Burnley. I really can’t think of one thing he’s remotely good at. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anon Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 (edited) He knew he had this game to keep his shirt if he put a performance in against a dodgy defence and spent the match standing between the two centre backs offering nothing. Not the first time I have written: I hope I never have to watch him again. Edited August 28, 2022 by Anon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 At this point i'd give him back to Burnley if they'd pay his wages. Shocking panic buy. Hopefully lessons learned for the new regime. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emotic Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Offer him + 5mil for Joao Pedro (and maybe cover a third of his wages for a year). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really can’t think of one thing he’s remotely good at. I think this could be nail on the head. We bought players whose legs had gone several times in the past, Geremi, Alan Smith, Nicky Butt maybe, and Wood increasingly looks like another one of them. He shouldn't have been as bad as this.

gbandit Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 He used to be a really decent forward, never amazing but he could bully defenders back in his Leeds days. Playing for Burnley, especially in their style of football has just finished him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could have picked up a L1 clogger for £1m who'd have returned more than he has. Think the best thing he's done so far is meow at Zouma. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't even do that - it was a wind-up post I believe Having to watch him attempt to play football is making me hate him irrationally (actually it's not irrational as he is just so awful at everything an attacker should be good at). I wish any fucker would take him off our hands. Edited August 28, 2022 by Sean Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
