Yorkie Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 You can't knock him when it comes to aerial duels, he's just lacking an actual strike partner. That effort at goal was dismal though, was like he was playing head tennis in the back garden. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 (edited) That header was honestly like a calm nod back to your own 'keeper like. Needs one to go in soon to give him some fire in his belly. Edited February 8, 2022 by Kid Icarus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Needs a goal sharpish for his own confidence, he looks shot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amir_9 Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 There is no excusing that miss like Tall physical striker unmarked with plenty of space to aim the header at. Same thing in his debut game too close and heads up off. Snap out of it man Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norseman Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Feels like a bit like Luuk de Jong v. 2.0. Hope he proves me wrong Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Master of the pointless header so far, saying that, we need to create more opportunities for him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bompeter Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Based on the 15 seconds of footage I've just seen of Weghorst, I think they've had our pants down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toon25 Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 He just doesn't look hungry to me. He's a focul point insofar as he's a 'striker', but he won't be a huge help to us in the long term. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 He'll rightly get shit for that shite header but he put in good off the ball work today and had some tidy hold up on a couple of occasions. Kinda wish ASM had squared it at the end for Wood to (hopefully) smash in. He needs some confidence and we need him to have it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawK Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 If we finish 17th and Burnley finish below us, it's £25m well spent, any other performance metric aside. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiquidAK Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 He's getting in the right positions and holding the ball up well, but his confidence looks shot. If he gets a goal he'll look a better player from then on imo. Really want him to make this work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superior Acuña Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 (edited) Didn't look too good but hopefully we'll keep playing in a way where others are chipping in, and I'm sure he'll get himself a few and pick up some confidence. Don't think should be panicking too much, often takes a striker time to get going, it's only been three games (and we've gotten 7 points in them).

Yorkie Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Well he's going to get plenty of chances to improve. I have hope he'll get there and I'm still extremely glad he's here, cos continuing without a CF would have meant guaranteed relegation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Seen it mentioned a few times that Barnes was more of the donkey work, target man/shithouse and Wood played off the shoulder and ran channels. It would make sense. As for a big lump, he is awful back to goal and whilst the service into him is fairly poor and he is isolated a lot of the time. His headers never go to a black and white shirt. Looked a touch more threatening tonight. But still on his heels and a bit leggy a lot of the time. He is working hard and helping our defensively when ASM is having a lie down. So at least he is contributing. I do worry about him getting an actual goal, mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
St1pe Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 He’s basically Joselu. Not Joselu the goal machine he is now but the version we had. I thought he played ok today and worked hard but he’s not much of a threat and we over paid by £10m or so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Hard worker and gets involved but it feels like his flick ons never seemed to go near anyone, mix that in with not looking like he can score and its just extremely underwhelming. Still important for us right now, even by proxy and in spite of it being a panic buy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallsendmag Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 The one blot on an otherwise perfect night. First time I've seen him live in the flesh (wasn't at the Watford or Leeds games) and he looks like a dreadful footballer. Major lack of mobility for a Premier League footballer.

Wullie Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Needs a goal desperately but when I think that the alternative is Dwight Gayle I'm very glad he's here tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
