What a fucking goal :)

 

I always thought he had something but had pretty much given up on him last summer. Then he starts the season well, goals vs Liverpool and Bradford and his cameo against Fulham won us the game imo. Our attack was stale til he came on and harassed their defence. 

 

He was looking potentially quite useful again then came the injury. I thought he looked good at Villa recently as well, he's chaotic and frenetic but he 100% gives us something different. Needs to add consistency and probably a bit more poise at times. 

 

Hope he stays and does well now, he seems very popular in the dressing room which suggests he's a lovable, hardworking lad.

Absolutely majestic from Razor

 


Goosebumps 

Razor had me nearly crying at full time in Carabao, he's brilliant 

Completely delighted for the lad, if anyone personifies willingness its this lad, he may be an unpolished diamond but he's just bought himself time to be a genuine premier league striker.

Just wonderful, absolutely wonderful

Imagine if this lad ends up being the actual answer up front :lol:

 

I think he's only really effective when he's got space. Think his main weapon is pace and running with the ball; put a load of defenders near him and he always looks clumsy and unbalanced. 

 

I can never put my finger on what sort of player he's gonna become. One game you think he'll never make it; on other occasions you wonder if we've got a rough diamond on our hands. I've always thought he reminds me of Jonas and he was clearly never a striker in a million years, though the game has changed.

 

Whatever happens, he'll always have that last night, and it was absolutely magical as Razor said.

Bit like theoretical Elanga in that case Yorkie. Thrives on space. 

 

The two lads couldn't be further apart on the confidence spectrum though right now

As I said before in the thread, he definitely has something. He’s demonstrated it a few times now. Barnes is the only other player with a finish to match him, and directness too. Definitely seems better coming off the right but that’s probably because he hasn’t actually had much experience leading the line and playing the 9 is a much much harder job.

We should try him out on the right if we play Nick up top. He’s definitely got something about him when he plays there, I remember him banging the post against Chelsea doing a similar move to last night.

With, as others say him looking a better option cutting in, I'd be giving him a shot in a front 3 with Gordon & Barnes for the rest of season. Aware he's looked pretty ineffective when starting previously, but would give us the chance to have them all playing anywhere across the 3 within a game. Not as if any of the options up-front or on the wing have particularly covered themselves in glory lately. Woltemade in behind them, especially at home, would be nice to see too.

That's a great angle.

 

Love the way he takes off so aggressively after playing the ball to Trippier, and Trippier sees it and gets that ball forward well ahead of him which was great.

 

Osula actually did well to keep that ball in too, hence the stumble. Such a great sequence.

DAT HUNGER
