StefanAVFC Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Poor? What? No surprise that once we got the ball into his feet, he showed his skillset with the ball. Great goal too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Took his goal well and if he does that on a regular basis then great, but that goal saved another average to poor performance. What was different to any performance when heskey scored? He's far too slow and lost 90% of aerial battles. He had a few nice touches and scored but looked a threat all game?

R1chuk Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Thought he did well, get a quality ball in the box and the lad might just score us a few goals. Won more headers and held ball up better than Benteke too. The two of them could make a good partnership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonLax Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Standing ovation when he went off. Unlucky he had that header saved just before half time as well. He now has as many goals from open play as Benteke this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers13 Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Won more headers and held ball up better than Benteke too. The two of them could make a good partnership. I'd be surprised if the stats back this up. According to 442 he won 4/11 aerial battles. Benteke did considerably better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 (edited) Played the superb one-two with Bacuna just before the free kick as well, gonna go ahead and chalk that up as an assist for the big guy Edited November 9, 2013 by Keyblade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 He took his goal well but I thought he was poor. What did he do that was so good? A couple of nice touches and lost most aerial battles. It's the kind of performance heskey used to put in. We'll see, happy to be proven wrong but I don't think he'll be a good premiership striker.

Isa Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 I actually thought he was better aerially but just checked and he only won 31% of his aerial battles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonoridge91 Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 (edited) What's with the negativity? I give up sometimes... I'm not even going to go into the KEA thread as I know I'll only be depressed further because he'll be a scape goat.

Big_John_10 Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 What did he do that was so good? Score. Well I did mention that and he took it well. But a goal doesn't mean a good performance. What did he do that made his performance good? A couple of nice touches is hardly setting the world on fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the amount of chances we had, he was arguably more of a threat than Benteke. The header for his goal, and the header for the good save in the first half were technically good striker headers. To be fair to Kozak, Benteke had some good chances with his head, which he didn't do quite so well with, eh. His performance was good in a game where we didn't have much threat from midfield. He's not rapid—that's not his strength, so what—but he clearly has a use in our squad. Basically, it's a shame you won't just ease up and give him a chance! Why wouldn't you!?

What do you mean by give him a chance? Do I support him at the game? Yes. Will I change my opinion if he plays better? Yes. I don't think he played well today but he scored and took it well.
