Bar BS3 Posted January 23, 2021 Report Share Posted January 23, 2021 If there's one thing worse than writing a young player, breaking into the first team, off after failing to score, despite othe contribution... It's then discounting what he then does do well, because the title of the fixture happens to have "FA Cup" in front of it..! Everyone should be delighted and greatly encouraged by his excellent goal today, not trying to discount it, because you'd said something stupid in the first place...! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said I thought he scored a great goal and had a great game. I said he ain’t a Striker - Got pelters and now everyone agrees. I said he would score goals in the championship. 24 games later no goals. So when you say ‘Stupid’ check the facts. Also note I said I think he could be a decent player. I said he should play wide. He needs to add goals. What bugs me is everyone seems to want to prove me wrong. At the moment I am not. Everything I said was right. You may like that I am right(up to now) but I am. So less of the ‘Stupid’ and more of the you were right.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have lots of people agreeing with you Does not matter if they agree or not. Zero goals in 24 goals says on the balance I am right. Again I will say at the moment. If it changes and he scores a few goals then I will be wrong. So let’s save the ‘silly’ for when he starts scoring.. Until then best you stop telling me I am wrong as clearly I am right. It just makes you look ‘silly’... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why he's not scored any (league) goals. Today showed that he certainly has it in his locker. He won't need to rely on poaching or being a target man, but has the potential to do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted January 24, 2021 Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 (edited) 5 hours ago, Northern Red said: He's also getting a lot better at the defensive stuff that he has to do when playing out wide, tracking back, helping his full back out etc. When he first came into the side a couple of years ago he showed barely any aptitude and even less interest in that side of the game but he's learning and improving all the time now. Still see him as more of a wide forward rather than a 'striker' as such- in addition to the Cup goals, the assists and what you say about the defensive/tracking back show this.

westonred Posted January 24, 2021 Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 Listening to all the pundits on the EFL show, Sky commentators BT Sports and whoever commentates on us all seem to love him and say he will go along way in the game lets not forget he came into the pro game late so saying he is not a striker and wont score goals is crazy,when he does find his feet he will prove a lot wrong and will be out the door to big club for a lot of money 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he starts to score yes he will have proved me wrong. As a city fan I would love that. I said - He ain’t a Striker Wont score goals in the championship Decent player can play wide but needs to add goals. We don’t want another COD (never scores) if he does not add goals eventual he will just end up on the bench. Our coaches need to coach him better.

REDOXO Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 Semenyo is a forward. He played well on Saturday and was our best player. The commentator was impressed. The idea of Striker is largely due to a cartoon. We have forwards who need to get more goals and that is a fact but the whole premise of this thread is just plain wrong. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 5 minutes ago, RedHienz said: He's a kid, bar stand out career strikers that's fairly normal at his age. Yep, and he’s more of a forward than a “goal scoring striker” at this fledgling part of his career. 82 appearances (41 starts) 9 goals, 10 assists. Mins 4316. Equiv of 48 full-90s. That’s the context, and that’s not too shabby for a guy who plays all across the line. Abd that’s not adding in his general contribution. A lot to look forward too. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
