lexicon Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Don't agree at all Sikh - playing to Gestede's strengths has nothing to do with our lack of defensive organisation or mad substitutions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy_0'Neill Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Hes not good enough to be a starter in my opinion. Good rotation player.. but i would like to see Adebayor come in and be first choice as he would provide more than Gestede does to a match.I hate how Tim Sherwood is organizing our side to create crossing opportunities for him to header. Why are we relying on 1 player to win games? Mix it up..Agreed, Kozak is a better options as he can link up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrackpotForeigner Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Good game from Gestede v Chelsea. Held it up when it was asked of him. Missed a half decent chance, but generally worked pretty hard with nobody seemingly bothered to try and put a ball on his head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 I thought he was poor, agree that if we play him we have to try and get it wide and cross for him, his chance was at the other end to us but it looked like he should have scored, his movement is shocking, he offers nothing, when we've got grealish and Gil running from deep with the ball there's no option from him, no run in behind their line to slip a clever ball in, he's a statue, that dart across the box for his chance was the only decent bit of movement I saw from him all day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 He didn't do too badly, but against a slow and static back line, we would have benefited more from having a more dynamic forward up top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is not this type of player and never will be. Put the ball on his head and he will score. If Timmy played wingers and coached them into supplying Gestede, I would personally guarantee he would score 10-15+ this season. he is not doing to bad already with linited supply. Im not saying use him as our only chance of goals, but when he is in postion (which he is many times) get the ball on his edd!Playing Hutton as the creator on the right wing is not helping, he cannot cross a ball high for shit.

Arj Guy Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 He is clearly a championship player. Whoever thought it would be a good idea to replace a £32 million striker with a £6 million one season wonder from the fizzy pop league needs to be shot.

icouldtelltheworld Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Thought Gestede had a decent game yesterday, played as well as could be expected without any service and he is looking a lot more mobile. Held the ball up decently and won most things in the air as well. I like him, and as others have said, he definitely isn't the problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ermie123 Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 I don't profess to be a tactics genius on football matters, but surely if there is a great header of the ball up front it would make sense to cross it to him. Or am i wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 What I said on the previous page still rings true. Even with Grealish and Gil on the pitch, and despite some nice build up in the first-half, we only created one genuine chance throughout the game and that was from a wide position. We'll always be restricted in our approach with this guy spearheading the attack. We need a forward with some mobility who can make intelligent runs through the middle. Gestede has his uses but we can't centre our offensive set-up around him. Simply too limited a player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
