AVTuco Posted September 15, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted September 15, 2018 May be better than Kodjia. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honest_bertie Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Looked very fruatrated most of the game, swinging his arms around when passes didnt reach him or balls just flew past/over him. Probably wondering whats has he let himself in for. With some tactics and strcture in place reckon he could be scoring plenty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted September 15, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted September 15, 2018 Looked particularly pissed off not being put through by I think McGinn in the second half. There was a nice little link up with Kodjia, gave me some hope the two together could be an option. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sir_gary_cahill Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 He’s a goalscorer, a threat in the box, him and Kodjia looked great together, maybe start them together in the next match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Czechlad Posted September 15, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted September 15, 2018 Him and Kodjia is the way to go. Kodjia looked excellent alongside Davis because Kodjia wasn't forced to be the target man. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll score goals for us no problem, saw enough of him at Bristol the other year not to be worried about him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Should have scored but his a good presence up front. Gets himself about. I like that he was angry and annoyed with himself and his teammates. He wants goals and I expect him to get them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifamad Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 I thought he had a sulky attitude when not getting the ball throwing his arms up which I didn’t like, also missed an easy chance to put us 1 up. I’ve already said when we signed him I think he is an over rated player, we will see though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick76 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 I liked that he “sulked”, although I thought it was frustration than sulking....he’s eager and I liked the link up with kodjia when he came on. We have to stop this one upfront business, play these guys together. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 (edited) He should have scored, but it was great bit of play and 1-2 with Kodjia. He looked very sharp with the ball at his feet and physically strong. The problem is that we didn't get him enough service, our sole tactic was aimless crosses that invariably went to their keeper. We have to do more, Grealish has to do more to break forward and play Abraham in and the crosses from out wide have to be better, Elmo and Adomah should never be starting, El Ghazi and Bolassie will deliver better quality.

brummybloke Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 While he looked frustrated he had 4 or 5 good chances which any one of them you would hope he would have scored. When not isolated he will do better and also Elmo dropping to the bench and adomah for players who will be more consistent when in the final 3rd.

There was a header that went wide in the second half that was at a difficult angle, but he should have at least worked the keeper and then the shot that went wide after a 1-2 with Kodjia. I do think he will take a bit of time to get going. He was too isolated and needs more service and general involvement, on top of that he's coming off the back of pretty poor season at Swansea and despite the drop in level might need to rediscover his confidence and form in front of goal.

Off the top of my head.. Completely mistimes a header at the back post from for once.. a decent cross From the other decent cross in the game he heads wide Shot wide after a 1-2 with Kodja I also recall him shooting wide 1 or 2 times and 1 at the keeper He looked better when not 15 yards away from the next closest player and I'm sure he will bag goals. Just not by balls being slung in aimlessly 9 foot in the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they were, if you can't recall them fair enough, read various match reports which list some of his chances. Read Bruce's after match summary where he says Tammy should have got 3 goals. Or watch the game again if it bothers you that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had at least one excellent opportunity with a header and a other on the ground which you would expect most decent strikers to put away. It's early days and he's not played much football so I am not criticising him, but to say they were not good chances is just plain wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
