Pata Posted 21 hours ago Share Posted 21 hours ago 2 hours ago, OverThere said: How bad can he be if he can't get the last 10 minutes of a nil nil game that we are dominating We didn't have subs left. I believe he could've got some minutes today but the Trippier injury meant we had to hurry to get Tino and Longstaff on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted 14 hours ago Share Posted 14 hours ago Totally understand if the criticism is that we should have signed someone more ready-made or that you don't agree with Howe's bedding in methods. Daft if you're asking why he's not getting a sniff though, you should know Howe by now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daft if you're asking why he's not getting a sniff though, you should know Howe by now. 100%, and Howe knows the players and their capabilities so I completely trust his judgement re not playing him. But it just seems like such an odd signing if the lad isn’t even third choice - they might as well have sent him out on loan until January if that’s the case Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamPS Posted 10 hours ago Share Posted 10 hours ago It is a bit different with a striker though. Defenders and midfielders need to know their role in the system, but in the last 10 minutes of a game they were dominating you aren’t looking for the striker to do a lot tactically when the team is out of possession, you just want him to get on the end of something.

He missed the header as well from Murphy's cross where instead of going for goal he tried to head it back to a marked Joelinton. That's probably why it's not on page 2.

rebelrouser Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago Wasn't he poor to average for Sheffield United? Not sure why we think he is a quality starting striker just because we spent a small amount on him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother in law is a Sheff Utd fan and he said that he’s got a lot of promise but was badly developed at Sheff Utd. He’ll look quality for us by the start of next season, shame it’s not sooner but whatever, this is where we are now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erikse Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago (edited) 18 hours ago, Lotus said: If it’s any help, I’ve thought the same thing about Targett (when he was out for a while) and Hall (last season). It turned out when they played they were clearly not good enough/ready/match fit and that’s why they hadn’t been getting any starts. I think anyone will struggle to impress if all they get is one game here and there, and if they don't perform in that one game they go straight back to the bench. Last year Hall had to outperform Burn by a mile to get another chance the next game. You can't find any form or rhythm that way. What we're seeing with Hall now is that he is finally getting the run of games that me and others have been hoping for, and surprise surprise, he gets gradually better for each game that he is starting consecutively. This has allways been a thing in football. Edited 5 hours ago by Erikse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erikse Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago I was positive about this signing because I thought that he would be the young third choice striker that we really needed this season. Seems like he is not the third choice though, but rather one for the future, so it seems like we did go into another season too dependant on Isak and Wilson to stay fit..

Yeah this is the problem, I'm sure he has some genuine promise, but we are still left with the same problem as last season which eventually cost us Europe.

True but here we have a guy proven to be able to play quite well in CF along with a problem with how to accommodate our two forwards who are both primarily LW options. Howe is always going to choose that option ahead of something he's not comfortable with doing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
