Nearly every time he got the ball last season in the oppo’s half, they doubled up on him. Big shame he’s missed pre-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Semenyo just needs to learn how to keep his head in front of goal. If he can add that we have the Jamie Vardy type Pearson wants. Despite some of the idiot comments on another thread I am very upbeat about the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tin Posted July 31, 2021 Report Share Posted July 31, 2021 If Semenyo’s the answer up front, I don’t know what the question is. Would be happy for him to prove me wrong, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players at that age can make big improvements from one season to the next. He’s about the only forward player we’ve got who can move faster than a snail. And we’re going to be scraping the arse end of the table anyway. A fit Semenyo might help us above the dotted line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Swan and Cemetery Posted July 31, 2021 Report Share Posted July 31, 2021 Looks as if Nige wants Martin being a pain and then have pace/energy around him. Problem with Martin it needs goals around him as well as pace. In time Bell and Conway look very promising, but a front 4 of Martin, Conway, Bell and Scott is not really plausible given their inexperience. Maybe Bell one side and Weimann the other is our best option for now, but would definitely be good to dig another striker out of the loan market if possible. Suspect Wells can do it, but better when one of two, which means sacrificing a role I’m not sure Pearson is prepared to sacrifice, given Palmer/Scott role essential if playing two holding midfielders and risks becoming very narrow.

Millwall away shows he can finish He’s not very young, he’s 21 which is just young. That may sound pedantic, but by that age he should have shown some hint of goal scoring ability. He may improve, if he can learn not to panic, but I doubt he will go from a player who only scored 2 goals from 44 Championship appearances last season (admittedly some as sub) to a player who can score 15 ish goals this season. I’ve said 15 ish goals as that’s what would be expected if City signed a new player. As for Millwall in the cup, what about all the league matches when his finishing was terrible? You can’t judge a player by one match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the sample He has invested plenty in the team, or rather he allowed others to spend without restraint. The fact that he let the previous regime spend too much and let the wage bill get way out of control is the reason we now can't buy now unless we sell first.
