dont_do_it_doug. Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 (edited) On his finishing - he strikes the ball relatively well. He is technically very good. I remember a few occasions last season where he would hit the bar, or flash one just wide, or right at the keeper. His chance against Bolton was well struck. So I feel that there's not only perhaps an element of bad luck involved which may level itself out, but it's all about angles and composure for him. Repetition, repetition, repetition. He will either get there or he won't. If he doesn't he's a handy player for the bench regardless given how much of a nuisance he is. If he can learn to finish, the sky is the limit.

I think Davis is more of a natural replacement than Kodjia as I think yes better at holding up the ball and playing with his back to goal, so I'd expect him to start ahead of Kodjia.

Be on the shoulder and I think he is not very good there. Unless Smith mixed up to a 4-4-2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd take Kodjia over Davis every day of the sodding week. I couldn't give a toss how strong he is or how he holds up a ball. Call me old fashioned, but I like a centre forward who can **** score.

romavillan Posted April 21, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted April 21, 2019 Positives are he was getting in the right place, he made the right run and jumped well for the header but totally mistimed it. He was in the right place at the right time for the other two good chances he had too. Bit more confidence and with the chances we crete in 90 minutes I reckon he'll score. If not, we have half a dozen different scorers in the last few games, so won't be all on his shuolders to score and as others have said there's a a lot more to his game than scoring, we have midfielders that can profit from him holding it up and running beyond him.

TRO Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Its true what some have said ,holding the ball up as a lone attribute, is not enough. its not, but equally don't under estimate how valuable that attribute is.....it plays the whole team in.

Not sure goalscoring can be coached into a player, it’s more an instinctive thing I think. Just hope Tammy gets fit ASAP. Big matches need big players. Chris nichol once told me all about his coaching with Alan Shearer at Southampton. Cloughie seemed to transform Peter Withe, so I'm not so sure, its all instinctive and coaching doesn't help. I get what you are saying.....but I think all players can improve with dedicated coaching and technique building. Its very difficult to be the complete player, having competence in every discipline.....Keinan has to work on his weaker points, practice, practice, practice and dedication....its up to him,if he wants it bad enough. If he thinks he has already arrived, he won't make the grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
