La Parka Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Can't we wack a plank of wood in the ground and use that to play off instead? Fuck knows what the deal is with this guy. Could easily be a mental issue because he at least looked like a footballer at other clubs! Pressure? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 If we never play him again then there’s a chance some stupid club offers us a million or two for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 If he was just limited in his ability, I could have an element of forgiveness - but he looks like he couldn’t give a flying fuck, which is what’s really pissing me off.

ToonTastic Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Under Ashley he'd have scored plenty. Long balls up, basic crosses into the box. Burnley football basically. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 He’s not a target man and he can’t fulfil any role of a target man. He’s an over sized poacher who needs a target man next to him. With a central striker and 2 wide forwards either side, he’s completely redundant in our system. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 16 hours ago, Newcastle Fan said: For a target man he's quite a shit target, loses most of the 50/50s and when he does win the ball he usually just nods it out of play or back to the other team, one of the worst strikers to play for us and that dosn't look like it will change anytime soon. I think statistically he wins a good amount of the balls sent his way. But it's irrelevant because he just heads them to the other team. He doesn't ever hold the ball up, he just loses it. I hope to god Howe stops subbing him on with the concept that he'll help see out games. It is clearly ineffective. We are better with no striker and 3 of our attacking mids/wingers.

Nine Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 (edited) There was a particular moment last night where he won his header from a goal kick, had he have played a simple flick on to his right we would have pretty much been in behind but instead he just heads it back into midfield where a Liverpool player picks it up, so frustrating.

He's used to playing in a team of orcs with a striking partner. I suspect he's more of your typical poacher pouncing on lose balls in the box that arise from Burnley's tactics. He's never a lone striker that's for sure. Could pick up a couple of goals if we ever bring him on to partner Isak or Wilson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t believe a player with his goal record in this league is so unaware of his surroundings in that area of the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like the moment I typed in the match thread that our players should be instructed to run to the point they least want the ball to land to have the best chance of getting to the second ball from Wood.
