thunderball Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I don't think he has enough in his locker to tempt the big teams (unless he starts scoring big time). Ideal for us though. i am not sure how well he would play if he was no2 striker, seems to have an inclination to dribble and shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Good outside of the box, but very poor in the box today, lacking quality and not sharp enough, but still give it his all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted January 23, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted January 23, 2016 Lots of running but no quality in the box today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danishlad Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Shouldn't have played so much midweek against Wycombe. Tank running on empty in second half. Should have had a pen though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexicon Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Struggled today and didn't play well - though we were playing a Pulis side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this, I was very surprised he played against Wycombe and I feel we saw the downside of that today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Very much a number 10 in how he plays. Expecting him to be the one poaching in the six yard box isn't his game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Willard Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 We're him and okore wearing the wrong boots today? Both were slipping everywhere. I expected him to be rested against Wycombe. Showed he was tired today. Rest him against Man City. Shouldn't play any first team players against City in my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 When in the box he tried to dri the left shoulder and go for the curl off the right (similar to the goal he a scored a couple of weeks back). Can't do the same move every time, especially when you keep falling doing it. Needs to be rested against city next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 The weight of expectation can't help the lad. He must be fully aware (as are we) that he is the only hope we have of scoring. We need another striker to help with the load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like duff and robben were at Chelsea. Has good pace, dribbling and workrate and can beat a player but won't score enough goals to play as an out and out striker and isn't creative enough to play as a number ten. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan-scott Posted January 23, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted January 23, 2016 Looked very tired and leggy to me today. The week between now and City will do him good. Hooefully we will have another striker in by next week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 not his best game but at times he was getting ball out wide and was about 1 on 7. no support at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 not his best game but at times he was getting ball out wide and was about 1 on 7. no support at all Gil offered him support outside the box. Kozak was busy playing musical statues. Too much reliance on a crap centre forward at the minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM3000 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Part of the reason we have looked better is that he comes deep and links up with the midfield giving us an extra man. It's just a shame that leaves Gestede/Kozak up front, if we had anyone half decent we would be scoring a lot more goals. As much as Gabby has had a number of chances in this team, I actually think if we put him up front it would be a better option. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
