Certainly looks like he knows where the net is and if we can get him the ball in the right areas he has the ability to score a lot of goals. Good finisher and no coincidence that he consistently finds space in between the two centre backs. Excellent movement and positioning.....looks the most natural goal scorer we've had since DB (....but with much more to his overall game) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hornso Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Looks like he needs the side to play actually football to score goals, so he'll probably be a flop 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost every goal was from a nifty little through ball. He had shit loads of space in almost every goal whether this is down to him or Brentford's tactics and creativity I don't know. Not a single goal created out of nothing so we can rule that out, suppose we have Kodija for that. A very telling video.

abdomlahor Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 (edited) Looks like a Vardy type player. Worries me a little that teams will just continue to sit and counter us as they have been doing, nullifying his main attribute. That's me going off of about 10 minutes of youtube videos though so I could be very wrong. Edited February 1, 2017 by abdomlahor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very telling video. anyone who has watched that video for 30 seconds could tell you exactly how he/brentford score the majority of their goals. we have a whole team of people watching other teams/coming up with tactics etc and yet just stood there watching brentford continually tear us to pieces with the very same simple through balls 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastie Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Brentford impressed me with their hunger and desire - we needed to show that desire and failed miserably - hogan must have been shell shocked watching. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they push out and try to press like Brentford did, hopefully it'll open up more space for Kodjia/Hogan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Having listened to being interviewed on AVTV (by a very screechy female interviewer) he comes across as a very down to earth lad, who has made his way in the professional game the hard way without ever being at a professional academy. I like him and hope he bangs a load in for us! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PompeyVillan Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 His is the best interview of the lot on AVTV. Almost 20 minutes, when some struggle to do 7. Has had an interesting career but comes across as humble and hungry to succeed. He says the usual things about big club blah blah, but I was impressed about how he spoke about the people and the club's that gave him chance. Let's be honest, we're giving him a chance too, and I hope he takes it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NottingVilla Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Went on a bit had to take a break after 10 minutes (especially as he started talking about Man United) but seems a genuine lad who is firm in his beliefs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
