Zatman Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 In his defence the one Buendia put on a plate for him but he controls, I think he ran slightly ahead of the play and couldnt connect first time without stretching Probably should have attempted it without taking a touch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 We seem to be good at signing wingers....where was we when Gnonto and Tete was being released. I think the scouts need to be shown, what good ones resemble. Leon seems incapable of beating a man, not a good trait for a winger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same is true of Emi2. We’ve managed to shift one of the Grealish three and I suspect the other two won’t be far behind. That summer was a disaster for us. Fortunately, with the sultan pulling the strings, this summer should be more productive. We would be foolish to give up on Buendia. He could have had a goal on Saturday, and could very easily have had two assists. He has been inconsistent but he's so clever in the final third, there's no way I'd be selling him. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did have a good game on Saturday. If he can start to string those performances together regularly then I would totally agree with you. He has generally been pretty poor though. Hopefully Saturday can be the turning point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 I personally think he’s become a bit of a scapegoat for when we don’t win. We’ve always had them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Hasn't helped getting the injuries and having 3 different coaches since he has been with us in fairness. But frustratingly inconsistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't buy into Gnonto quite yet, his stats this season are worse than Baileys, half the amount of goals per game. He reminds me of Adama Traoré, looks great but short on end product.

Not great but not as bad as everyone makes out. In my opinion of course. Was only 2 games ago he scored one and made one for us to win 2-1.

So what, you need a player to deliver on the day not in 4 years time, on that day Bailey delivered. In 4 years time Gnonto might be good enough or he might be still the same, loads of bling that doesn't translate to end product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 I'm very impressed with his numbers since Emery has come in. He's at 0.42 xG per 90 he's had total 2.7 xG and has scored 2 goals. Overall he has quality attacking numbers on fbref in the PL this season. He's doing well 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve always had them. A bit of both IMO. He hasn't really been great, but he hasn't been as horrific as some would have you believe. He actually started the game quite well, then it all went down hill. Kamara and Emi are more liable than anyone for us losing the game, but the least favourite/ appointed scapegoat will always get the wrath. He needs to do something though, whether that be bulk up and be more determined or it won't work for him here. Seems to be one who plays well, when the team is playing well, but when it's a fire fight he shrinks. Extremely frustrating because at his best he's a menace. Needs to be taken out of the firing line for a while IMO. Might be better as an impact sub. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
