You expect him to have eyes on the back of his head or something? He ran off hourihane who was marking him into the near post where kodjia was, should have cleared it but far too slow Edited November 2, 2019 by rbcuk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Just now, rbcuk said: He ran off hourihane who was marking him into the near post where kodjia was neither had a clue You're right it was Hourihane, now I remember. Looked like Kodjia was marking the space in front of the front post. Ball went over his head so it was on Hourihane to mark Mane and deal with it (not who I would have picked, but he didn't even pick him up anyway).

alexvilla4 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I want him sold in Jan. I just don't have a good feeling about him anymore. He reminds me of Gabby in his last few years where he is just going through the motions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digavilla Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 With his recent facial injury & wearing protective mask , Psychologically we can’t expect him to defend properly & stay tight on Mane & go for the ball .. probably like an earlier poster said he’s brought on to keep the ball & slow down the game . But don’t think his skill , tricks & speed is up to premiership level fir this task Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 The most idiotic and blatant red card. Reckless and pure stupid.Kodjia isn't the same player since his injury. Get rid of him in January please deano 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He reminds me of Gabby in his last few years where he is just going through the motions I've never been convinced he's good enough for this level on the basis that he hardly distinguished himself as a top player in the Championship, even in his first season here where he scored a good amount of goals you could see his limitations. Ultimately he's here due to resources, we clearly tried to sign another forward in the summer and there was also a lot of rumours about Kodjia being on his way out but since we couldn't secure that forward he has stayed. I'd be surprised if we don't sign another forward in January and I do expect Kodjia to be moved on if we do. I don't think he's a bad player but he's not cut out for this level, he''d be well advised to find a top flight club in a weaker league, could certainly do a job in Belgium, Holland, China, UAE etc. Edited November 3, 2019 by Dr_Pangloss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Hindsight and all that, and the fact that RHM scored yesterday but I kinda wish we'd sold Kodjia when we had a bid and kept RHM around instead. Even with Davis now injured I still don't feel Kodjia has what it takes anymore, not at this level. If there is another bid in January, take it and run.

Guest av1 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Poor. Be it in January or the summer, he won't be here for the start of next season. Irrelevant of what league we are in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerCollins29 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 What does he do? Havent seen a more 'nothing' player in years. Getting fat mike from the lower holte on for the last ten would have the same impact as kodj. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 You must have because he scored nine goals and got three assists, without which we wouldn't have finished in the play-offs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I find it difficult to criticise Kodjia. He’s been nowhere near his best since suffering multiple injuries but I still have fond memories of his goals in the championship. He scored some amazing goals in his first season, and was one of the only bright sparks as we had little to shout about. He scored some useful goals last season too. The winner at home to Milwall as we made it ten in a row, and the brace against Brentford stand out. When fit and on form he was always capable of pulling something from nowhere, an audacious bit of dribbling skill or a shot when none looked possible. We’re now in a different position, and we need so much more than he can give us. It’s a shame but his time has come. I’d have liked to have him at his best as an option off the bench, but it seems his best is just a memory now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
