rodders0223 Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Won't win anything with someone this selfish, and braindead up front. I get the impression if we lost 3-2 and he got a brace he would still be dancing a merry jig home. Plenty of occasions he could have played in someone, or spread the play or held it up and waited for support. Instead we get head down, stepover stepover. Honestly, just do one. ...and cut out the stupid dancing. We are not top of the league, it is not a goal to kill a game. I can understand joy and passion but dancing like you are hot shit?Just do your job and get on with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disagree - I think he's quite a clever player. Just far, far, far, far too selfish. 40 yards out? Yeah, I'll hit that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'll hit that! It's hard to articulate. He does some clever things, mainly on instinct, when he 'thinks' he's more often than not really poor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He makes good runs into the channels, often thinks one step ahead of the defender to turn him etc - very good at that stuff. Just then takes a touch or two and tries to get into a shooting position rather than looking for a teammate. He can work on it I think... well, I hope.

Do agree on the work rate front - he's always been like that, though, but scores goals so people don't care so much. When you have Hogan (tonight) or Adomah/Ayew/Grealish/McCormack in other games pressing the ball but Kodjia is standing there walking about, it makes the tactic completely ineffective. He's like Benteke in that respect. Give him the ball and he's interested. Without it, he just doesn't care. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan-scott Posted February 4, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted February 4, 2017 Ridiculously selfish. McCormack got pissed off with him and I'm sure Hogan will if he continues in tonight's vein. Hogan could have been played in by him countless times, but consistently tried to do it on his own and lost the ball. Hogans best 2 chances were a decent flick by Kodjia (need more of that), and a fantastic solo run. Should have been more opportunities if Kodjia got his head up.

villa89 Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Where would we be without his ten goals? Imagine if we had gabby playing all season instead of him! Yes he's selfish but that's why he needs to be played centrally IMO so he's not involved in the build up play and can just shoot at will as he seems to always want to do. Honestly he's the only player we have who ever looks like scoring which is worrying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigAl Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 The more I see of him the more I think he isn't the type of player we can build a team around .He is too individualistic,he shows flashes of brilliance but isn't the best at holding the ball up or winning aerial duels he will make a decent no 2 striker but can never see him becoming a player you can build a side around . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly he's the only player we have who ever looks like scoring which is worrying. Where would we be with his 10 goals and if he passed the ball? That's the point, he needs to release the ball more often. I've got no issues with him taking on a shot when the time is right, but his decision making is poor, leading to squandered attacking opportunities far too often.
