joe jordans teeth Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 Best 5 million we have ever spent,he’s asked to play left back centre mid and run about and how some people on here call him lazy because he won’t jump for headers when he eventually gets back up front is beyond belief Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFCGav Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 Played really well tonight. How we needed a striker in form and he’s stepped up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobBobSuperBob Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 Been very critical of him but he looked a different player with a different attitude today Worked really hard and contributed so much more His best 90 mins for us that I have seen I think Well done Famara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His no look pass in front of the dolman when surrounded by two Norwich players was iniesta esque.

054123 Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 I like him and would always have him in the team. That said he does not attack incoming balls enough, it’s like most of the team he’s playing 3 or 4 yards off. I think the issue is you need a bobby Reid type occupying those positions on the box and gambling in Tim Krul tumbling that save. Fammy won’t.

I am convinced he wasn’t at his best for a while, like today, because of the ban. He’s proven last season that he is going to get a decent return at this level - amazed he was written off by so many a month ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree about limited real options from bench As for COD , thought it was more a case of us and him getting pushed back / deeper , and struggling to have an outlet / get out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcofisher Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 So much more effective today because we weren’t going direct and giving him the ball at head height which is absolute bread and butter for a championship level centre back attacking the ball away from his goal, the man isn’t Djuric size. He was that much more effective because he was given the ball to hold up either to his chest or feet where he could use his body strength to draw fouls or bring others into play. Feel like he gets a lot of stick for not winning enough headers as people perceive a target man should, but realistically that’s not his game at all, as shown today.

italian dave Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 More than just attitude and work rate; his first touch today was superb at times. In contrast to other games where the ball just bounces off him. Also helped that we got support up quickly and in numbers; when we don't he just wears himself out chasing shadows. Anyway, that's two games now where defenders have found him a constant threat, and have really struggled to contain him. Long may it continue.

Rather than service , thought the difference was he was alive and on his toes much more than his heels today Much more physicality and even when at least he competed for first balls and didn’t win them , we regularly picked up second balls - hope this wasn’t lost on him He was a different player today in his all round game IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandro Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 On the face of it, unless he was nursing a niggle or had a virus or something, he had a spell where he was poor and just looked disinterested. Not sure what the change is, but if the management can keep him playing like that, he’s a real handful. Despite the attitude comment though, I think his goal return is a very respectable one every other game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only critical comment was that he was still on his heels a couple of times, and not always convinced he has that natural anticipation for a ball in that would take him a class higher. There was a speculative shot that their goalie spilled, that if he had followed in ‘just in case’ was a tap in. That is being super critical however. A really good hard working effective game throughout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A really good hard working effective game throughout. Totally agree with all that Difference was that normally he requires perfect service and then has been getting brushed off the ball or losing it with poor touch etc Today , until he tired late , he fought for balls that weren’t ideal , and won some and gave the opportunity for others to pick up the pieces , or press, when he didn’t Agree that his anticipation isn’t always great All in all a much better all round game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
