spudski Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 ...not seen it mentioned on here, but Op booked for Dec 18 and out for 5 weeks. I can't remember seeing a forward winning so many headers and directing them where he wants. He really is the deal and will be missed. I can't help but think in bringing this op forward, that we have cover already agreed in the January window, or Diediou will be back sooner than expected.

eastonboy Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 He seemed to have a real nasty edge to him at times tonight- good. He also looked in discomfort when moving, so perhaps, irrespective of the teams needs, an operation to sort himsef out is the best thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CityCiderEd Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 Agree mate.Wins almost everything knocked up to him and usually finds a man with the flick ons.They started to double up on him almost as soon as he won the first few headers.

tinman85 Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 We need a target man in January as cover. If Bobby gets injured we need to play Flint up front. Wouldn't trust Woodrow or Taylor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivorguy Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 I would hope the club would always put a player's well being before the club. If he needs an op, he should have one asapand the club should live with the consequences Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Robin Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 So another one out... Why, oh why?!? At this point, Taylor should become first choice, with Woodrow ad Engvall contending a place as substitute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Red Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 Won everything when he came on. Got no help from the referee either, who appeared to be of the belief that he was too tall to be allowed to jump for the ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 While his play is excellent for what he does I feel it also negatively impacts us as it often changes our style of play as a result of him being on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the issue there is that he often comes on at half time because he can't play 90 minutes. Often, we don't push as many players forward in the second half, so he doesn't have as many runners to support as he might do if he starts the game. Just a theory though.

I kind of agree with this. I also think Bobby doesn’t get close enough to him and more often than not when Milan is on, but not solely due to Milan, we play worse. It’ll come with time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 13 minutes ago, Shtanley said: Garita on bench vs Man U? Seeing as we are going to be without Diedhiou, Djuric, Woodrow, Pisano, Leko, O'Neil, Hegeler and now Korey, if he isn't he may as well leave now. By my maths we have 14 senior players available at present for that game & 2 of them are goalkeepers.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't agree with that at all.While he's not a ball playing CF his aerial ability and hold up play helps us to keep the ball higher up the pitch and tonight as soon as he won the first few headers they doubled up on him.Maybe not a first choice starter but a great option from the bench.

OldlandReddies Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 Was a little worried about him tonight as he seemed really frustrated in his play and put himself and the team at risk with his play. Settled down after his booking but was not as effective after thst. Such a fine line with big guys like him ala Andy Carroll which seems so unfair during games. He is a very good asset for us though.

The point would be the Preston game, LJ commented that he felt the players saw Djuric upfront and felt like they had to lump it up to him being why he took him off after 45 minutes while losing. He is a great option but we can't allow him being on the pitch to dictate how we play. 7 minutes ago, Luxo Jr. said: I think the issue there is that he often comes on at half time because he can't play 90 minutes.

Very different player of course. And not a team player as such which is the point I am trying to make.. kodja I'd have grouped in with the lita's Coles and Thorpe of this world all of who were quite selfish but could hit the back of the net. Milan is very different from that, and very different from any player we have had before. Not to try and put a downer on him... I'd say he was a quality torpey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's either a pre planned way to play or the players decided to lump it.We were generally shocking against Preston but my view is that he leads the line well and is handy defensively .Like I said not a starter but a great option off the bench.

LJ in his post match interview said there was no plan to play differently and he didn't know why the players were just lumping it to him, its why he brought Djuric off at half time to try and force us to play on the ground. I agree he's a great option off the bench, I just hope we're in a good position when Diedhiou's due back and he can hit the ground running.
