Luckily he managed to fluke one into the top corner today..... amazing really for a player that so many think is absolutely useless on the ground.

His touch , hold up play is PSR if that’s what you are referring to Great goal today but that doesn’t mean his control and ability to hold and shield a ball is suddenly decent or even ok , or disguise that for a bloke his size he gets brushed aside with ease Hes a mixed bag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garland-sweden Posted March 30, 2018 Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 Famara knows were the goal is. For me he is a very good player, scored many in France and score many for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer to concentrate on his many positives and how effective he is. There are many more expensive foreign imports across the top two leagues who have made far less impact than he has this season, and that's with him missing half of it.

He’s a strange one - you can’t knock his goals return but the rest of his play is IMHO and generally shockingly poor , but then occasionally out of the blue he will shock with a flash of something positive in a hold and pass before reverting to type he should be a real handful and should improve but his touch is at times that of a Park player What concerns me is that he doesn’t fit in with our best style of play or Lees 10 busy bees ethos Used with wide ment throwing in crosses he’d be at his most effective but that’s not what we do Personaloy I think LJ needs to decide how he wants to play and either utilise the full potential of FD , work extremely hard to integrate him into our preferred style or (tin hat on) Accepting he’s a definite goal threat and will probably do well elsewhere , but get decent money for him and replace him with a forward more suited to our high energy press game That action would be in itself a gamble but a brave manager who can be analytical and decisive would possibly do just that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair he's delivered goals this year, even when our form has deserted us since Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is certainly a conundrum how to make the most of Fammy and Bobby in the same team. Having said that I am convinced that but for Fammy's injury we would have had two 20 goal players in the same season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Glad I’m not alone in considering this If I had to use one simple starting point (And it’s not as simple as being just one - but the most impactive) in our change in form is the return of FD Looking at his goals it Seems madness that overall his impact could blanking more bullets than it fires , but that’s my belief / conclusion atm It’s a shame but for me accommodating FD has changed the way we attack and defend - the high press has all but dissapeared for example if I’m honest - I’d rather see us prioritise looking after Bobby Reid financially and be looking for a better fit for us it would come with some regret as he could be a real asset for somebody else id be secretly hoping, as a result of his goals , a Cardiff , Huddersfield or Brighton make a £10 m bid for Fad rather than BR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't rule out exactly this happening if a good profit is on offer. I wonder though if coaching can change Fammy's game as an alternative. To offer a parallel, Pep was not satisfied with Aguero 'just' being a goalscorer. Now, as Liam Rosenior put it in his excellent Guardian column today, he has become the focal point of Man City's pressing game. Even the best players can get better.

A very valid point China and certainly a hope But - I watch him closely and for a Pro of his age already training professionally daily for some years I’m amazed how poor his touch is and whether it can improve dramatically (If he could , and work in his strength we’d have some player !) using a ball daily I’m amazed his touch doesn’t seem to improve - I was anything but a technical player but when I later went into coaching and demonstrating drills and getting lots of touches at training sessions , my touch was better than Famaras !

Charlie BCFC Posted March 30, 2018 Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 Don’t get all of the criticism about his all round game -Has a very good scoring record and if he didn’t get injured he would be one of the top scorers in the division -Hold up play very good, yes first touch can be a bit poor but overall great hold up play -Works very hard off the ball and unlike what Kodjia did when he went down he wouldn’t make a meal out of it he’d get up and carry on.

22A Posted March 30, 2018 Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 It may have been intimidating for opposing defences if Fammy had played alongside Showunmi. Back to the stats; a goal every two games is what John Galley averaged in his best season for City and almost (goals per game) as good as John Atyeo's career record of 317 goals in 597 games. Here's to an injury free 2018-19 season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattWSM Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 Said it a few times now, he is too slow, the team has no pace or energy when he is playing. His goals have kept us in it (just) but our general play is not good to watch with him in the side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidercity1987 Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 I thought he was ok today and at least tried unlike some others. However our best results seem to come with Reid up front on his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BITW Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 Thought he did relatively well considering the dire service he had to work with. Plenty of worse players on the pitch today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
