Aidan Posted December 1, 2019 Report Share Posted December 1, 2019 Wonder how well he would have done if he'd have started more games in recent weeks. Looks like our only striker which can create something for himself. I'd have him start in the derby for that 20 minutes alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn balor Posted December 1, 2019 Report Share Posted December 1, 2019 He needs a run of games and he will score goals you can just tell. He’s a baby still but he has raw talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukes Posted December 1, 2019 Report Share Posted December 1, 2019 Pretty impressed by his cameo today, but more impressed with him standing up for himself. I would say he needs a few more cameos first. Responsibility of a full match could be a detriment to him while he is looking for his first goal. A couple of shots in ten minutes gives him a boost, no goal in 90 leaves him wondering where a goal will come from. Bailey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn balor Posted December 1, 2019 Report Share Posted December 1, 2019 I disagree shukes. I think that because he knows he has to get up to speed with the game quickly as a sub his decisions can be rushed. He needs to start games and find his feet early in the game. Get a few good touches and get in sync with the game. I would be starting him the derby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydneyneil Posted December 1, 2019 Report Share Posted December 1, 2019 He looks like the type of player opponents would be worried about and that's why he should play more minutes. Especially away from home. Todays and Wednesdays game are ideal for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palfy Posted December 1, 2019 Report Share Posted December 1, 2019 I would definitely start him against Liverpool, he might take them by surprise because he’s still a bit of an unknown in the league, were as DCL and Tosun won’t concern them at all.

Maybe it could be better to let the reins off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Posted December 1, 2019 Report Share Posted December 1, 2019 I don't think it would be good management to throw him into a starting spot in a derby game under the lights when they are league leaders and we are one off the relegation zone. We have Arsenal, Chelsea and Utd coming up soon and he will get a lot more time and space against them than he will against Liverpool.

Certainly not as the sole striker on Weds, but maybe as part of the front line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t see us maintaining 2 up top against them but Kean looks the only forward player we have capable of driving past his man and making something happen himself. Start him, he’s not scared and he makes us dangerous. StevO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Physically he can give him a run for his money. If he can win a few aerial challenges early on and get some knock downs to Richarlison we might have a bit of joy with that. The amount of times I’ve seen Dom miss time a jump for a header I’d be made up if he won one header against Van Dyke. The man is a machine, I doubt he’ll get touched up any time soon either. Can live in hope though. Bailey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibdane Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 Why do I feel like we have the worst striking options up front in the league... besides maybe Watford? I don't see any of our strikers getting one over on the arguably the best defender in the world. I would love to see it happen, but I'm very nervous about this one more than any other fixture we've had this year (and even last year).

I highly doubt any striker would target VVD. But it would be extremely naive to think that VVD won’t be targeting them. It’s his job isn’t it? Unless you feel his two goals over the weekend has suddenly turned him into a striker haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibdane Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 Hopefully that doesn't hurt his confidence too much. Tosun puts that away, but then again Tosun doesn't have the pace to get a chance like that. He looked good otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
