Alan Pardew Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Never a striker this tall lad. I don’t care what Young Eddie or the West Germany manager says. He’s got plenty of other qualities though. What a signing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnus Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Surely the future is Wolte playing deeper with Wissa running off him. To the point it should be reflected in our future transfer policy - get another striker in and use Wolte for his natural attributes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Thought he had a decent cameo and some key interventions and did what was needed to keep the ball or draw a foul. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Customary moment where he stood and watched an inviting ball whizz across the box, but the two moments where he held up and drew fouls/made a progressive pass were exceptional hold up play. On the basis of the last two games he's a great asset to have off the bench when leading. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 it's weird because he has shown he can do the goal poaching stuff already in his career here imo, it just doesn't seem to be something he's interested in doing sometimes? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MileyCyrus Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 He needs players around him to link with him or there's no point playing him. Either we need to change formation or position our wingers differently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thumbheed Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 (edited) He's not a lone striker and we can't create space in pur current set up by having width and have players around him unless we have a second striker who's running creates more space for him to lose his man and turn. I liked how Palace set up. Their wingers dropped centrally into the space between midfield and defence, so something like that might help Wolte with Tino/Miley and Hall providing the width.

No one could have said this when he was scoring as they was when Wissa was injured and hadn't played for us so his movement for us then was hypothetical. This statement now is based on his observations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This statement now is based on his observations. We were used to a fast striker with good movement around the box from last season. And, we watch a lot of football in general. We didn't need Wissa to play for us to be able to see that Woltes movement was lacking at times. Edited January 4 by Erikse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point still stands. I also think it was a fairly easy guess that we've been missing someone like Wissa when he was out. We already knew that he was stronger, faster and more direct from his time at Brentford. It fits our current 4-3-3 setup better.

Maybe because you’re perma-miserable bastards who can’t ever feel happiness? I know what we've had a fairly routine home win against a team that are generally good on the road, what I’m going to spend my energy doing is critique everything that didn’t go 100% right 🤦🏻 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menace Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 I think people are being harsh considering some of the goals he's scored so far are completely down to his movement / positioning. I still don't think our wingers are communicating with him properly rather than him being too mobile Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
