Here is £15m. **** it." That would be true if Bruce hadn't been watching him for a long time, and then Wyess saying it wasn't until the last week of the window his deal to west ham fell through, and Brucey was told he's available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think hes looked pretty poor so far - he either seems to be offside - or falls over when he gets the ball. I can see why Kjodia doesn't pass to him !

VillanousOne Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I can't judge him yet, Jedinak looked appalling in most of his first 10+ games, Connor was dire, Lansbury average now both are starting to look exactly the players we were promised. I still have high hopes for Hogan I still think he can be an ultimate warrior for us and really savage opposition defences. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

choffer Posted March 15, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted March 15, 2017 He took a while to show with Brentford too (before and after the injury). He'll come good if he's played in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's shit, we are shit when we try it. Hogan stays out of the team, Kodjia stays through the middle. It's as simple as that. 4-3-3 for me. but I thought Conte's formation the other night against Utd was novel......3-4-3. I suppose it depends on the attributes of your players and the strengths and weaknesses of the opposition. but I believe in K.I.S.S.

I'm with you......I remember Ken McNaught having c20 games of doubters. then he was just formidable....Some do take some time. I think Scott Hogan will be the business for us, when he settles and gets used to his surroundings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How Barca played in that crazy comeback against PSG was nice, 3-3-3 with the extra one (handily Messi) going where he wanted. Argentina did it with Veron ages ago too I think. Woudl love to have the players to do that sort of stuff.... On Hogan his movement has looked great with respect to what we've been watching the last few years, just his touch and finishing have looked a bit off. Could just need some time to settle in and calm down a bit. Certainly showed signs of being decent so far, a goal will do him the power of good I'm sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinker Posted March 15, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted March 15, 2017 His movement and positioning when not in possession are excellent, his touch has been a bit erratic but he's proven that at Brentford so it will come. My only worry is his injury record but if he can stay fit he will score hatloads . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can highly recommend the drinking, it fixes everything for a few hours and then you're more concerned about recovering from the hangover than the result of the footy. Plus it makes not so hot women, hotter. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted March 17, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted March 17, 2017 I reckon he'll score tomorrow, might stick some monies on it. I dreamt we won 1-0 so I assume that it what will actually happen too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Has trained the past couple days, Bruce talking about going 2 up front again. I wouldn't be surprised to see him starting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
