i still think the lad will come to be invaluable...him and bendtner really looked the part until he got f*cked after 10 seconds at manu..and fletch is a much better player than bendtner both on the ground and in the air

which is why im not all that worried if we go down...fletch and connor will blast us back up again
 
Was getting good comments from the pundits and radio stations on Sunday night.

His build up play is very good imo
 
Exactly. People are passing comment in the player they *want* to see. The facts are laid bare, I agree he has been criminally underused by MON, but he never looks remotely like scoring. It's all well and good holding it up well, I can remember Thomas Hauser being pretty good at doing that, but he looks lightweight and painfully inept whenever it comes to shooting, beating a man or putting the ball in the net.

Sorry, he just doesn't look like a natural goalscorer. He looks like someone blessed with an incredible physique which has allowed him to be pretty successful at junior level.

interesting perspective...but lets hope youre wrong mate

Pound to a penny his "choice" had more to do with telling Graham he's not fit enough to play at this level. ;)

i like MoN but it really seems that his training methods left a lot to be desired...absence of robertson perhaps'?
 
Even when the ball was played into him at an awkward height etc he still managed to hold it up. He passed it off well into the path of the wingers, but he didn't get into the box fast enough.

Positioned himself well, especially for the chance when sess lashed it into the side-netting.

Ran the channel's quite well and won us a few corners, one of which we scored from.

A good first (in a long time) showing but there is still room for improvement.
 
For those that saying he's never looked like scoring....
He would've done if Sess had squared it early on and more importantly our goal came from his positive run and good strike which hit Luiz and went out for the corner.
