Farlz Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Even after his penalty miss he kept going at it, which was good to see. Deserved his goal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to see he carried on going after pen miss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Wonder who will step up and fill his boots when he's off to the AFCON? He's our only goal threat. We have loads of strikers, all gash for different reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Worked really hard today. Carrying us ATM. Still plenty he can improve on which is very promising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVTuco Posted December 18, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted December 18, 2016 What's with his hand? He's had the bandage there the whole season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastie Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Was surprised he needed gestede to translate for him post match as his English seemed decent enough when I've seen him on avtv interviews. Another good shift put in by him today Although the penalty wasn't well hit . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda what he needs to be doing though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't Jedinak take the penalties for us? 6 hours ago, rodders0223 said: He did one earlier in the season, very telegraphed and the keeper went the right way. You have to be so precise and powerful with them. Should not take another one. The commentators said he normally puts them low to the right. If commentators know that you can guarantee the opposing keeper will. Penalties should be taken like Barry or Shearer. Hard into an upper corner. . Even if the keeper knows where it's going it's almost impossible to stop. As soon as you try low placement left of right the keeper has half a chance especially if you normally pick the same side.

VillaChris Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 1 hour ago, Woodytom said: I think that's up for debate still. When you look at the Bournemouth and Boro teams they're both stocked full of lower league players but where Bournemouth have done well is adding quality to the long servants so in midfield with Harry Arter is Wilshere and now got Ake alongside Cook and Daniels at the back. Boro added likes of Negrado and Ramirez to complement the players who took them up. In the long term we must do that. I'm not sure the other two Richard are referring to but would guess at Chester and Amavi so we'd need a really good keeper and CH to go alongside them. If we go up this season and just rely on this squad then it will be a major relegation battle although think SB and Xia have more sense than that. That's quite a way off but think it's a bit bonkers to suggest we have no decent premier league quality players in our squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's better playing from wide. Even when he's playing central, it's when he drifts wide that he causes the most damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
