choffer Posted September 23, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted September 23, 2010 Yeah I thought it was a bollocks rumour too considering I read this from him about 2 month ago. I wouldn't say it's a "bollocks rumour" as I know I've seen him being a prima donna first-hand and it's clear that Kev Mac also had concerns about his application. Guess it's just good to hear from Kendrick that it might not all be quite as bad as we'd thought. I think ultimately there seems to be a perception that he doesn't put in as much effort as he could, rather than him having a bad attitude.

barry'sboots Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 I like the idea of having the Fonz/Gab out on the right but drifting in if Ash is doing the same on the other side. Makes them difficult to mark when they come inside, creates space for SI/DJ/Bannan to go outside them and looks a lot more fluid. I think it will take them a while to really learn this but will stand them in good stead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted September 23, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted September 23, 2010 I've never really understood the fuss and hype over him. Has always looked pretty average to me, can't see him working at his game like Gabby has done (not many players do!)... but meh... hope he proves me wrong, but think he will be pretty average TBH!

bickster Posted September 23, 2010 Moderator Share Posted September 23, 2010 Playing him wide might teach him a thing or two, it worked for Gabby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponky Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 I think 3 months playing 90mins twice a week in the Championship might be just what he needs. I think he needs to toughen up a bit and learn how to impose himself on contests. Reserve matches and 15-minute sub appearances are not going to get him that, especially if he needs the odd reminder of how hard he needs to work.

Demitri_C Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 fonz looked good out wide so who knows, he certainly has the pace for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morales Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 He seem like he was a finisher, a fox in the box as they call it. But his all round game was poor, as was his decision making at time. Hopefully playing on the wing will allow for him to develop his game a little. He model himself on Henry, so a spell on the wing may do him some good. I also think it was a pity he didn't go on loan last season, it was just what he needed.

BOF Posted September 24, 2010 Moderator Share Posted September 24, 2010 fonz looked good out wide so who knows, he certainly has the pace for it It's also a path that Gabby had to take. Playing as a winger (though we were baffled at the time as to why) gave him a better understanding of the game and of his team-mates when he went back to being a striker.

PompeyVillan Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Also, have you seen Gabby's crossing lately? Quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WooJung Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 He did an AWESOME cross for Young vs Stoke... Shame we wasted such a great chance. We probably would have had 3 more points now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cracker1234 Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Very strange, I just heard Houllier say on SSN that we have 3 centre forwards, Gabby, Heskey and Carew...He didn't even mention Fonz. I wonder if he thinks he isn't ready for the first team or he intends to use him elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddy Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 He's bettter at crossing than Gabby was when he first came through too. Which helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Very strange, I just heard Houllier say on SSN that we have 3 centre forwards, Gabby, Heskey and Carew...He didn't even mention Fonz. I wonder if he thinks he isn't ready for the first team or he intends to use him elsewhere. I think it's one of 2 reasons. 1) Houllier's been told that the Fonz is full of himself so thinks this might make him want to push to becoming one of the first team forwards. 2) Houllier just views him as backup and therefore wouldn't list him when talking to SSN. Option 2 is more obvious and less shocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadoftrinity Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Fonz has never started a Premier League game so that is the most likely reason. He is most likely talking about Premier League strikers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rino8 Posted October 2, 2010 Visiting Supporter Share Posted October 2, 2010 Fonz isn't on the bench today (Bannan and Clark are however)Well Carew is on the bench, when we're paying with only one striker we don't need two on the bench with Ireland.

SoccerHQ Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 He did well against Blackburn so dosen't look good to me that he can't make the bench for the next two games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
