Romey 1878 Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 I think the chance last night can go down as a sitter, yes? It just highlighted that he's not a natural forward player at all - has an empty part of the net to aim for and aims for where everyone is standing! If he's going to start games then he has to have supporting players around him that are mobile and dynamic. That means the likes of Kean and Iwobi and not Sigurdsson (as was shown last night). When those two came on we looked more dangerous, and even the mostly shite Gomes improved because he had more space to work with because the Villa defence and midfield were tied up elsewhere. Before that they could just cope with DCL and Sigurdsson without breaking a sweat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukes Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 Totally agree. Once those two came on the whole team dynamic changed, including DCL. He dropped to receive he ball to feet instead of having to sit up top and have useless balls sent to his head. That run when he received the ball at feet on the byline and took a couple of players on to cut inside is what he should be doing more. We need players who can drive forward with the ball.

Matt Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 A sitter with 4 players blocking the goal line? He should’ve done better but he hit it true, with power, on target. Another day and that goes in, I think it’s more credit to Villas determination to cover their keepers mistake Shukes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said he could’ve placed it better but I still think it was better defending than a sitter. Theo’s was a sitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiggytop Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 He could have done better with his shot, but at least it was on target, and there's no point lumping long balls up to him to win in the air if there's no one close to him to take the knock down, Iwobi's pace and power could work alongside DCL, so far this season Siggy has been anonymous and isn't helping DCL.

But no he decided to hit into a crowd of defenders. It was a terrible miss I’m not sure how many times I have to repeat myself - he should’ve placed it better (I.e. the left corner since middle and right we’re blocked, not close to half the goal being empty) but it is not a sitter. Not sure how complicated that is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best to make an opinion on what you think and not what others say. Im half and half. I agree with Matt, it was more the defending should be applauded, keeper was beat. But I also agree with Romey, he could have been more composed and placed it better. Either way, it wasn’t a sitter. Walcotts was a sitter.

Palfy Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 They were both equally poor finish’s and any argument about which was the easiest miss doesn’t absolve either one of them in the slightest I do feel for DCL he works his fucking nuts off for the team, and every time he registers a blank and misses a sitter the more pressure and the harder it is getting for him, I think Silva needs to pull for a few games before this run totally destroys him, he can always give the last 20-15 minutes to show he is still in his plans.

A player of his ability and a premier league striker needs to be finding the corner and scoring. Granted it was good defending but if DCl is more composed the defender shouldn’t have had a chance.

markjazzbassist Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 i've been backing the guy for a while and saying he would hit 10 goals this year. but even i am ready to bench him and see what kean can offer in a 3-4 game run out. could be worse, but we'll never know until we try.
