screwdriver Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 another gripe is when he was subbed...... he ran off! This was the perfect time to throw a little tantrum "why me?" then slowly trudge off the pitch running that clock down and ensuring the points. I can't believe he didn't do this. I used to do it at school matches and give the pe teacher the wink. Another gripe: the ball boys were too efficient in returning the ball to liverpool. and the north stand lower. are we on the same side here? northstanders! you are as much to blame as gazi and kodjia. you could of run that clock down better. how can you sleep tonight?

No chance we'd get Deeney. Club captain from a relegation rival. He's exactly what we need. If we can find a 22 year old Deeney with a 30 year old Deeney's attitude we'll be finishing 12th or higher with zero issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villalad21 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 (edited) Better hold up play. Same embarrassing diving. Same annoying body language.

KenjiOgiwara Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Did he ever look like scoring yesterday? The 30 minutes I saw he didn't, but then again we were under siege for about 29 minutes of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post blandy Posted November 3, 2019 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted November 3, 2019 He was much, much better yesterday. Still missed a header he should have at least got on target. Still moans too much to refs, but he battled harder, actually held up and flicked on the ball against the best defender in the country. Much better level of effort. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 In terms of effort this was much better, really good even. He still needs to learn how to use his kilos better because even with all that effort he accomplished pretty much nothing. Won 3 aerial duels but mostly came unstuck against the Plop CB's. There was even a discussion between the commentator and the co-commentator on Swedish telly where one though Wesley did really well while the other (Pontus Kåmark, ex Swedish national side defender) thought that while he looked lively actually didn't do anything of note. Keep it up thou because against less prolific defenders than Van Dijk and Lovren it will pay off, especially if he has more players around him to pick up the scraps. That said I still don't see the potential (or current quality) that prompted us to shell out that much money, even in today's market. One thing he has to learn and adjust to is that as a new unknown player in the league he's going to get very little love from the refs, especially when up against big name teams and players. flapping his arms and falling over won't help.

What I think must also be confusing for him at this moment in time is that whenever he uses his strength the refs blow up for for a foul, yet when he decides to hit the deck he gets nothing. From that point of view I think its probably just understanding the league. It seems however he reacts to contact atm it goes against him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won 3 out of 10 according to Whoscored. Van Dijk won 90% of his aerial duels and Lovren 65% of his. No surprise as it's their job to win those. Guilbert won 3 out of his 5 aerial duels while Engels was best in show for us in this area with 4 out of 5. Mings had a uncharacteristically weak game in this area, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claretman Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 His second best performance yesterday (Everton being the best) but it still wasn't that amazing. Yes, he won some flick ons, gave the defender's a difficult time and got cheered when he closed them down quickly on one occasion. However, that's what I expect any half decent striker to do. He goes down far too easily for such a big man and his arm throwing is ridiculous. Where was he when Al-Ghazi and McGinn got to the bye-line in quick succession in the second half and there was NOBODY in the middle? What was that awful attempt at a header in the first half from the centre of the goal? I do feel with the right coaching he may get there, but at the moment a striker looks like priority in January. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
