Strikers need service - if the two dedicated attacking players supporting the striker are poor, I'm not going to blame the striker. I wouldn't blame the winger for not creating if the striker was squandering chances. Wesley had no chances to squander. No goal in 11, no attempt on goal in the last four.

Rightdm00 Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 30 minutes ago, Keyblade said: Funniest performance I've seen in a while. It's like he switched consciousnesses with Marvelous in the last 20 minutes. He was so deep. I swear he dropped into the back line a couple times. Okay on a serious note why does Dean love to play it wide and pump in the crosses buy a striker in Wesley who can't head the ball at all. Baffling.

Delphinho123 Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 He runs around a lot when the opposition have the ball, not so much when we do. Offers very little and never runs the channels to offer an out ball. Wasn’t his worst performance, but he needs to be replaced ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 (edited) People should lay off Wesley with the personal insults there’s just no need or justification. Calling him a prick is pointless. However his footballing abilities are pretty sub standard atm. He needs to stay with the opposition centre backs and keep them occupied. Even if he stands there and does nothing not even touch the ball it’s going to be more beneficial to us because the defenders will always be aware of him. In the premier league to do his current role you need to dominate possession and have wingers with 12-13 + goals season in them - we don’t have neither. Hopefully signing someone like Pedro will help as his experience and talent will hopefully rub off. Wesley is running around in the wrong areas at the moment. He was better today but he needs to do it more often and further up the field. Edited December 26, 2019 by Sulberto21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hogan does all this headless chicken running into the box but can't do anything else. Wesley does the other parts of being a striker reasonably well but doesn't make runs into the box to save his life. He was playing defensive midfielder out there at times in the second half.

You are never going to win the ball but it shows everyone how "hard" you are working. Doesn't fool me, and every player knows what he is doing. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROTTERDAM1982 Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 I'm not over convinced about Wes, but thought he worked really hard today, and linked the play up well at times. I am going to refer judgement until we can get some wingers/forwards who can cross a ball though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted December 26, 2019 Author Share Posted December 26, 2019 He must have been told to drop so deep late. That was honestly really funny. One of his better games today. Controlled it a few times. Got involved in couple of deeper moves. No threat whatsoever. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Smith should come out an show some support for him if he continues to play him. Needs some justification surely, as some fans are losing confidence in Smith because of Wes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 (edited) Some nice touches in the second half and some good bits of play down the left hand side, but you know what... ... I really don''t care. I'm waiting for this guy to look half way like a striker and he doesn't. He makes no attempt to make a run off his opposing defender's shoulder, he never demonstrates any clever movement anywhere on the pitch, never makes good runs in the box, never is in space in the box. Today he was up against the two worst centre halves in the league and couldn't get much out of them. I'd say I'm sick of him, sick of the sight of him, people want to be deluded and say he's getting no service, the same was said when Hogan was here but a shite player is a shite player and Wesley looks every inch a shite player at this stage. Blaming the service is like Corbyn supporters blaming Brexit for the election loss, it's only one part of the story (and not the biggest part). I sincerely hope that we are bidding for strikers right now, I sincerely hope that we get a new striker early Jan and that Wesley spends the rest of the season coming off the bench. If he cannot sufficiently impress off the bench then he will need to be sold in the summer. This guy just does not look even close to being a top flight player at a respectable level of football. I'm sorry but I've just had enough of his 'performances', not good enough. Edited December 26, 2019 by Dr_Pangloss 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoMkali Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 4 hours ago, DCJonah said: Yes of course they do. Stats also show that. The eye test doesn't though. Because when they receive the ball they have about 4 or 5 options wesley at most has 2 so to me it is clear the midfield are losing it cheaply whereas wes isn't getting the support he needs to initiate attacks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
