Kodjia the only one who has lived up to his tag and probably the one people wanted rid of quickly. 4 years. Maybe 8 years, since Bent signed only Benteke was a star. Kodjia and Bent were good in parts. Then probably Robbie Keane as next best striker signing 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-R Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 One things that's just annoying me with Wes is it looks like he's watching Kodjia to much, sorry but it does. I don't half see a lovely player in Wesley, Yet I see him doing the ol stand about after the ball has been removed from him or not tracking back, he need shut of that quick. It is nice he goes for the keeper and he will try get defenders to make mistakes, he also has a nice pass, but he does go down to easy. I've said it before January we do need a new striker but I'd pay for one that's proven this time and not to get rid of Wesley but for Wesley to hopefully grow off of. I think a Proven striker is what we need for many a reason and hopefully Wesley will improve off that guy, if he does we then sell Proven striker put Wesley back in and buy another striker who was in Wesley's position before he came here and start that all over again.

sharkyvilla Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 1 minute ago, Davkaus said: Even in the games he scored, he was anonymous for 89 minutes. Do you watch him play? A cheeky toepoke then aimlessly wondering around the pitch, falling over everytime there's a tall bit of a grass, and suddenly that's a decent performance if you just look at goals. He's shit. I dunno I thought he was excellent after he scored against Everton. Almost unplayable and must be a confidence thing. My biggest issue is how he dives so much and isn't even any good at it. He is strong enough to unsettle defences but it's a bit of a culture shock that refs are going to give you **** all and he hasn't quite grasped it yet.

1974Centenary Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Davis came on turned his man ran towards goal and played a nice ball down the line all in five minutes .Wesley started the match and got knocked out by the ball,Davis starts for me next game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rightdm00 Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Wants the ball to feet but that's not what we have him up there for. I'm ready to see Keinan get a run out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Why is he undroppable? I feel so f*** bad for Davis. He must seriously be thinking what he has to do to get into the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeepDish Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 (edited) I thin he needs a break. Not adjusting to Premier League from a easy league, and that is a worry. Some training and coaching and we could try him again in a few weeks. Edited September 28, 2019 by DeepDish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh, Davis is nowhere **** near good enough to start for a PL club and should be thanking his lucky stars that Kodjia is injured and we only signed this weak streak of piss. In no way does Davis deserve to play on form, but against Norwich he starts by default, for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You missed the point there, I was basically saying it looks as though Wesley has been picking a few things up from Kodjia, regardless of that he needs shut of it wherever it's come from.

bobzy Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 FWIW, I think he has something about him. It will take time for him to fully adapt, though, and he really needs to stop hitting the deck. That said, it isn’t working right now. It’s a shame that he’s having to be our focal point every game - we really missed a trick not bringing in another striker so they could compete and rotate if not in form. Urgh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
