And I don't think any of the players reaching the top values is outside of the realm of possibility. As I said 40+ goals is the target so you only need ten players to score 4 or 6 to score 7.

May-Z Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Looking forward to this! Would love to see him make a statement with this debut. Plenty of bullying, a few rasping drives from distance and a goal would be lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoMkali Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 17 hours ago, YLN said: Oh brother.. these sorts of posts bring me back Ayew and Veretout were nailed on to get 10 each. Amavi to chip in 5, and then 10 for Gestede and Sinclair, with Traore a bit of an unknown, but would get at least 5, and if he hits form could get over 15... If Gabby could get fit and his head right he could get 10 as well. Last season Grealish got 6. El Ghazi got 6. Hourihane 7. Kodjia 9, Mings 2, McGinn 7. And in a far more difficult league, they're about to surpass these tallies next season? I think we're in for a shock tomorrow night. We've been away too long. First of all only el ghazi and Grealish would have to surpass those numbers and considering Grealish didn't score in his first 10 games and el ghazi didn't have a Consistent run of games to settle I think it is reasonable to assume both of them should either equal their previous goal scoring record or exceed it. As I said we only need about 40 goals and we can assume that with wesley, kodjia, jota, Hassan, mcginn, hourihane, Luiz, nakamba, Guilbert, targett, Engels and mings can combine fro 28 goals. That is an average of less than 2.5 goals each. Assuming el ghazi and Grealish get 6 each. Mings scored 2 goals last season in what 15-20 games I'd expect him to score 4 this year, hourihane may not play much but when he does I wouldnt be surprised if he chipped in with 4 as well. That is already 20 and you have 10 players who we haven't accounted for who will all likely play 25+ games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted August 10, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted August 10, 2019 Very unimpressed. Davis would hold up play and link players 10 times better and Kodjia would run at players 10 times better. It's very early days but even in pre season I didn't see much to get excited about. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kodjia came on and was utter **** garbage. He really wouldn’t run at players 10 times better. Wesley was poor, but this is absolutely not the game he’d thrive in.

thabucks Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 welcome to the premier league son ... tough learning curve for him and will obviously take him a few games to get up to the speed and intensity of this league. WIP for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubbs Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 This is why im concerned we didn't bring another striker in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AV82 Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 (edited) He'll learn. He gave the ball away in the lead up to the goal but I thought he grew into the game and was holding the ball up much better at points in that second half. As far as debuts go, isolated up front against the Champions League runners-up, I thought he did ok. Edited August 10, 2019 by AV82 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest av1 Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 We were penned back for most the game, as such he had no support anywhere near him. I'm not surprised he struggled today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes for a big strong lad he seemed to go over far too easily. He needs to understand this is The Premier League, not some foreign league where any kind of contact leads to a free kick. It's a physical game here and ref's let a lot more go. He'll serve himself much better by using his strength to stay on his feet and overpower the defender than falling to the ground and appealing to the ref.

dudevillaisnice Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 He will learn from it. Played his part in the goal and we won’t be playing CL finalist Spurs every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Given that he had virtually no service and spent a lot of the game defending, I really don't think he did all that bad. Held the ball up well at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozvillafan Posted August 10, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted August 10, 2019 He had nobody up front with him. We sat so deep he had at least 2 defenders on him at all times. Needs to get used to the physicality of the game but that will come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
