Nigel Posted November 11, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted November 11, 2018 He doesnt help himself trying to shoot from 40 yards when he cant hit the target from 10 yards! Needs to find a way of not playing for himself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs to find a way of not playing for himself! I don't think he plays for himself anymore. His problem may be that he doesn't really have a spot he can claim all to himself in this team. He's trying too hard to prove he's needed and actually irreplaceable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 He was hot and cold yest. Had he showed a bit more composure he could have had a hatrick. But overall he is working hard and as a team player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that he seems to be trying too hard. I think that he has lost a bit of the selfishness he had in previous seasons but I do think the reason he tries to hard is he is more concerned with his own performance than how he fits into the team. His spot seems well defined to me, the fact he cant claim it is down to the above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted November 11, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted November 11, 2018 I don't rate him at all. Does have odd moments of individuals magic, but meh... Would be happy for him to be sold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having someone with his talents on the bench could be a real game changer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indigo Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 He's just not a left winger imo, I find it weird that people seemed to think he'd be better out there than through the middle when he had previously been great for us as a striker and there wasn't much evidence of him having played elsewhere. He's a mercurial player but he's also great physically in terms of being able to hold it up, as much as he can be frustrating he has all the elements of being a good striker when he's on song. You lose a lot of that from him when he's stuck out wide, particularly because he's not a natural creator of chances for others and that's what you'd primarily be expecting of someone playing there. Playing someone out of position isn't conducive to getting them back in form. Tammy's great and I don't think I'd swap him for anyone else in the league, so even though Kodjia is probably too good to be a back-up striker in the Championship I think that's what he should be for the time being if we're playing this formation. Especially when Bolasie is actually able to start games. From a selfish point of view it gives us better options off the bench too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Willard Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 I thought he played ok. He is still coming back from a serious injury and playing in a new position. I like that he can beat his man. Unlucky not to have score once or twice but Tammy missed some chances too. His biggest downfall was his teamwork and defensive duties and he has improved massively on both aspects. I'd be looked to sub adomah off sometimes before kodija. He doesn't have any pace this year and can't beat his man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 I think he thrives on being the main man, and he isn't the main man anymore and he knows it. I think his confidence has took a whack and that's what makes him the player he is ( for better or worse) The ego is strong with Jimmy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 I would seriously consider putting Hogan on his place. At least Hogan works hard, and is more likely to make the correct run and pass, and CAN finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen zero evidence in this lifetime, or any lifetime, to think that that would work. Edited November 12, 2018 by Don_Simon 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Chelsea are happy too, I would be happy to sign Tammy on permanent. Kodjia is the one I would sell on, in my eyes I don't think he's upto premier league standards. Kodjia gets to hot tempered fast and as others say is selfish, maybe not as much as previous seasons but he still is. I think we should sell Kodjia and replace him with someone who fits with the current style of play. I think Abraham fits nicely into our team and hopefully Chelsea will sell but only if we approach while we are still in the championship. Don't think theirs a hope and prayer of signing Tammy if we do get promoted then try signing. Chelsea don't like to sell to rivals they said no to selling a player to Tottenham and came out with the rivals reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
