Five Ken McNaughts Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Won the free-kick for the goal and probably took the attention away from Konsa with his attempted diving header at the near post. As has been said, Davis might not score, but he makes things happen that give us a chance of scoring. Has to start v Arsenal. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sulberto21 Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 His best performance to date because he looked purposeful and menacing. Roughed that young CB up and created a few opportunities. I wonder if he'll ever score a premier League goal though lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even I'm starting to accept he lacks the positional awareness to be a goalscorer even when his confidence is up also despite his physical attributes, he is too nice. Never see him react or get angry or look to bully a defender. If he had maupays nasty streak he could be a real handful. Sadly I think his career is going to pass him by somewhat Possibly. But he has probably earned more money than most of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 How is he supposed to build some confidence and momentum when he is never starting consecutive games? When did he last get 2 starts in a row? Under Bruce? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'd prefer the natural goal scorer Samatta, think we have a better chance of scoring with Samatta. based on what, exactly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you hate facts but all I had to do was go look at the team lists for the first two lockdown games (Sheffield United, Chelsea) to see he started both. I can't look at any of the other games as I don't have time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adbo9 Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 I can see what he offers, but lets face it, the walsall fans wouldnt get excited if he signed for them........... I heard someone say other day, hes like Heskey.............. my response was, which Heskey? cos it certainly isnt the 80 cap england no9 thats won nearly everthing there is to win in the country for some of the biggest clubs possible.............. I wished he was even a modicum of Heskey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roonst83 Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 (edited) Showed more than Samatta yesterday yet never looks a threat on goal. Ever. But I honestly don't think he's there to score goals, as in I don't think Smith plays him to score as he knows he can't. He's included to be more so to be a nuisance and hope he can hustle and lay the ball off for our midfielders. Sadly, that's more proactive than Samatta is being. And even more sadly, neither is good enough. You simply can't have zero threat from your strikers if you wish to stay in this division.

I'd rather develop Indiana than wasting up space with a player in his late 20's who looks way out of his depth. But i know we won't do that. We just aren't that club. We buy Jota. We buy Drinkwater. Instead of developing the likes of O'Hare. Edited July 17, 2020 by villalad21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attempting to buy ourselves out of trouble is what we are. Problem is we aren't very good at it. Took us 3 seasons to get out of the Championship despite of an outrageous amount of spending. This season has been no exception. We recruit poorly and let capable youngsters go. Edited July 17, 2020 by villalad21 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
