DevonIsAPlaceOnEarth Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 I like Kodj and I know it's a form thing, but maybe it is time to give Hogan a go next to Davis. Take the pressure of Kodjia. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We gave Kodjia a near impossible job today. Our wingers and midfield gave him nothing to work off of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screwdriver Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 I think Kodjia looks happiest when he has Adomah in a central role near to him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangeways Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 I would have subbed him the first time he could not be arsed closing people down, there defence will never have such an easier time playing the ball out from the back or wide because this clown can't be bothered doing any hard work, what gives him the right to just not try? Drop him for hogan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastie Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Should have been him replaced instead of Davis last night ; offered nothing whatsoever against wolves and looked half arsed: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As in, 'there's no point in doing it' and 'we won't have gained any points after doing it'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 His decision making got badly exposed last night, but he had virtually no service, very poor performance all round. Convinced he won't be particularly effective at a higher level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he is under no pressure here, if he makes the wrong decisions he will still play the next game. In a PL squad where his place was under threat perhaps he would be more of a team player and show better judgement, perhaps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a reason why, at 27 years old, he has never played in the top flight. He has ability but lacks intelligence and the intangibles. Don't get me wrong, he's great for us at this level for the most part, but there are levels to this game. I just don't think he will be particular good at Premier League level. But that said, under Bruce, I doubt we will ever find that out. Edited October 15, 2017 by Dr_Pangloss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not saying he is Harry Kane mkll, just that he is good enough to score goals in that league especially given the state of the defending. He isn’t a top class PL striker though, not by a very long way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Cue the McCarthy gif) Lansbury and Onomah should be the two midfielders behind with the back 4 being Taylor Chester Terry and Elmo. That's how I would set up anyway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 He really didn't look up to the task, didn't really try, went on one of his blind runs around mid way in the first half and got taken out, didn't bother to do much after that.

Johnnyp Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Won't deny the importance of the goals he brings us but his game intelligence is very poor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
