CrackpotForeigner Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Should of made it 2-2 but unfortunately he's donkey, that was as good a chance as you get at the top level and his finish was pathetic.He's a handful, and if we set up more than just the one single chance for him he will score. I think you're being too harsh. Plus he's about the only show in town at the moment, so we pretty much have to at least give him a FEW more chances before we write him off.I've seen enough tbh, I'm fine with him being an option from the bench but I want a more rounded striker to be leading the line for us, one that runs the channels, can take on a player, takes up good positions in the opposition box and is clinical. Maybe Ayew is that player and we at least need to give Kozak a go. Agreed about giving Kozak a go, but if Ayew is up front, I'd like to see him tried out alongside Gestede instead of instead of Gestede (he he) so we've got a variety of threats on goal.

villaglint Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 I think he can work as part of a two up top. Way to limited to play up front on his own. Needs others to create space for him.I think Ayew looks ideally suited to partner him because he naturally drops deep, pulls wide and goes beyond the front man. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grobs Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 I actually really rate Gestede, he gets some seriously unfair criticism on here. He holds up the ball well and has clearly been working on his ability to lay the ball of. Also hes our most likely chance of scoring even if he has a bad game. Hope Garde can see him as a starter and hopefully get some players around him who have the ability to cross the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope Garde can see him as a starter and hopefully get some players around him who have the ability to cross the ball.He's not scored with his feet yet has he? Whilst we have not played to his strengths, we don't have the players to play to his strengths do we? We don't have any actual wingers unless you count Adama and lord knows what is going on there. Missed two excellent chances AGAIN last night to level it up. We desperately need a reliable centre forward. I'd much rather give Kozak a chance or play Ayew central than continue as we are because it clearly isn't working. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoony Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I think Gestede is useful to have in the team for the very reasons we brought him on today. Get him on the pitch late, piss off the tired defenders and give an aerial presence to nick a late goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Pangloss Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 It was genius. Just wish he would have scored, Hart knew he got done by that and even he had to smile about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to have a bit of that in the side, although as people have said, Hart wanted the ball at his feet to hoof it up, nothing wrong with what Gestede did. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He waits a second, then when Hart moves towards the ball he does too, to presumably stop Hart from clearing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The poor sportsman is Hart, who tried to dictate how we did so. Gestede was well within his rights to prefer a goal kick. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
