TRO Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 I don't think either of them are the right choice in the medium term for our front two.In the championship maybe. movement is what disrupts defenders and ultimately forces them in to errors.We don't have enough of it upfront. Vardy & Okazaki with their constant effervescence produces opportunities, despite the shoreline, it's clear to see. we had them in Dean Saunders ,Dwight Yorke ,Brian Little & Andy Gray.....they never give the opposition a minutes peace. except we never learn from our past successes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs some more game time to get his touch right but he put himself about and made himself a nuisance - just ask Huth's elbow how much of a handful Kozak was! David Moyes a complete idiot in MOTD claimed no penalties regarding Huth's foul plays on Kozak. At least one had to be given, just remember Westwood's penalty... I agree, Kozak is little bit rusty, but he is a proven goalscorer and I do not get it, why the hell he was not playing regularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 I don't want to repeat too much negative stuff after working his ass off the last two games. But he's not a proven goal scorer. He's had 2 spells in his entire career when he's scored goals at a good rate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 So he's proven he can score goals then? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post HanoiVillan Posted January 18, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted January 18, 2016 We have to take into account number, level and consistency, or else my hat trick at Power League in September would make me a 'proven goal scorer' 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 That's proven enough for me. I'll tell Halmstadt to arrange a meeting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobzy Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Unfortunately at this level, he lacks pace. Huth was catching him up after that backpass cock-up and, whilst Kozak had a decent enough effort low at the near post, you can't help but feel a quicker striker would've gotten across the defender and got a more powerful effort away. His work rate and movement is much better than Gestede, though. I don't think it's coincidental that we look better with him in the team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a m ole Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 'Proven goalscorer' as a tag means absolutely nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted January 18, 2016 Moderator Share Posted January 18, 2016 At the moment he's one part of an improving Villa. For whatever reason we're doing well with him in there. It will be in some way down to his hard work and movement etc. He has yet to find the net but fingers crossed when we create more he'll get more opportunity to do so. Let's hope we become the 3rd spell in his career where he scores lots of goals But if he can be the reason that others are finding the net and we are picking up points then long may it continue. I would like him to score for his own benefit almost as much as for Villa's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 It's a difficult one with Libor tomorrow night isn't it? One the one hand, he's lacking fitness, which suggests a rest, but on the other hand, he's lacking confidence, which suggests he could do with scoring. Should we start him or shouldn't we?

chrissmith921 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 start him. will help his fitness if anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted January 18, 2016 Moderator Share Posted January 18, 2016 I say you start him. He hasn't played anything like the amount of football as most of them, so not only is he not fatigued, he needs the match fitness. Assuming he's going to be a part of the first team for some or all of the run-in then I can't think of a good reason not to use him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Yeah get him in there. Good opportunity to score and more game time. Ideally he's given us a goal, we're easily winning and he can come off after 60/70 mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rds1983 Posted January 18, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted January 18, 2016 Start him. Helps us (hopefully) get the win, gives him better fitness and sharpness so he hopefully is more clinical against WBA and also helps him get used to playing competitively with some of our summer signings.

rubberman Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Definitely start him and hook him after 60mins. Needs to keep improving match fitness. A goal would be nice too, but he's creating space for others around him and if that means we keep picking up points then I'm happy. (As long as we bring in a small, speedy poacher very soon as well).

Grasshopper Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 better to let Gestede bully them tired (or similar;-), then bring him on for the last 20 mins to score Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 He's awful. Wouldn't even want him in the championship. Gestede offers more, and even he's shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante_Lockhart Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I'm beginning to think you just like to do the opposite to what everyone else does mate. People praise Kozak and Veretout, you say they're crap. If we say Zog is crap I bet you'll jump to his defence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
