We're bottom of the league with 12 points because most of our players are crap. Or are they not? Am I missing something? No, we are bottom of the league because we've had a clown masquerading as a manager who did such a bad job he killed every ounce of confidence left in the players, leaving his successor with a very, VERY difficult job. The players aren't great by any means, but many other teams in the league are, on paper, no better than ours. I'd argue that even the Leicester team is not vastly superior to ours (not saying they are not better), yet they are top of the league. Look at Chelsea, they have a fantastic team and where are they? This isn't just something to do with the quality of the players. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Glad we seem to have made a u-turn, I like Kozak he tries his damnest he runs for balls. Now Rudy can take a leaf from his book on work rate. i think Kozak and rudy could be very good in championship 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Dreadful performance. He has the worst first touch I've ever seen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Only saw the second half today, but he was pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fight Like Lions Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Amazed he wasn't subbed at HT he was that bad. Flagged offside he continued after the whistle to go around Foster and hit the post when faced with an empty net! Afraid he's not the answer to our striker problem despite many of us wishing he might have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan-scott Posted January 23, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted January 23, 2016 Both Kozak and Ayew looked dead on their feet out there today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 He created a couple of really good scoring opportunities. If Ayew or Gil actually made runs into the box, they would have had tap ins. Kozak needs a goal though. I think that'd do him wonders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillanousOne Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I have wanted to see him in the side for a long time, but I am beginning to question if I was right. I still hope the more time he gets the better he will become, but I haven't seen much to suggest he will score any goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinRichardsonsMoustache Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 We don't appear to play to our players' strengths, to be honest. Kozak will win no prizes for his technical ability. Kozak's lack of a decent first touch, though, stops him from holding the ball up and bringing other players into the game. He didn't do himself any favours today.

dont_do_it_doug. Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 He really hasn't looked "very good". I appreciated his work ethic in the Palace win in particular, he was popping up all over the place. Fluffed his lines against Leicester and he's got feet made of lead. To be honest, today his work ethic wasn't really there either. Couple of nice flick-on's and a decent chest down inside the first 15 minutes. After that, pap. Not good enough... ...but he remains our only option. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted January 24, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted January 24, 2016 He's deserved his chance. For me he's shown he works harder than Gestede and makes stuff happen more (although still not a lot). But we've always known he's not the answer. He's not good enough to be first choice, just a different option. He should be involved. He shouldn't be starting regularly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I appreciated what he did against palace. And he was OK against Leicester. Today he looked an embarrassment at this level. He shouldn't be anywhere near this team but our lack of options means we need him. I'm a bit disappointed that his movement and workrate against palace hasn't been seen since. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Yeah, he looked dreadful in the second half today (all I saw). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted January 24, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted January 24, 2016 He may win the award for Worst Touch of the Season following one attempt to control the ball on the second half. The ball bounced off him so far it would be doing a disservice to everyone to say the the West Brom player dispossessed him, or was now picking up a loose ball... It's a shame he's technically limited and slow, he's otherwise what we could do with at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've no idea what you've seen to make you think differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabby Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Works hard gets into decent positions but much like Gestede outside the box or with ball at his feet he is really very average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
