Edmonton Saint Posted 2 March, 2023 Share Posted 2 March, 2023 (edited) Gets a lot of stick, but has arguably been our best forward in recent weeks (I know that’s not saying a lot😂) I think I’d like to see Theo given a chance up front with Tall Paul this weekend. Maybe there is some magic in those old legs still Edited 2 March, 2023 by Edmonton Saint Spelling 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Matty 76 Posted 2 March, 2023 Share Posted 2 March, 2023 His movement is good, and you notice it a lot more after watching Armstrong and Mara bundle about beforehand. He was impressive when he came on vs Chelsea, and our most threatening player yesterday albeit vs weak opposition. He's looked absolutely terrible for approximately 18 months so if we're looking at him to be an answer then that's a true representation of why we're going down. I'd sooner see him start than Moi though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baird of the land Posted 2 March, 2023 Share Posted 2 March, 2023 He was awful when he came on in the Leeds game. Had that 1 nice piece of movement for disallowed goal yesterday but otherwise he was not good. Still Think the pace he has lost just makes him not much use anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe there is some magic in those old legs still He's had more final 3rd quality than the rest of the wingers (/10s) or CFs combined recently... I don't have an issue with him getting minutes as it stands. Him, Edozie, sulemana, and Stu should be our 10's / wingers. Djenpo probably deserves some time as well.

Saint Matty 76 Posted 4 March, 2023 Share Posted 4 March, 2023 Good for him, decent performance. Worth his place just for keeping Elyounoussi out at the very least. Saying that, think Moi will start v United for his work rate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom & Gerry Posted 4 March, 2023 Share Posted 4 March, 2023 I don't undestand the disrespect sometimes shown to him.Like most older players he needs minutes on the pitch to get up to speed and after injury it was hard for him. He seems sharp now and is obviously a class player. His movement is what we need if we are going to score more goals. I don't expect him to play the full 90 minutes though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He put in hard work yesterday for the team but still wouldn't say he was impressive. He's got nowhere near the pace he once had and he has never been a good finisher, as evidenced by his weak effort yesterday. Just as we didn't extend an ageing past it Shane Long despite him still putting a shift in we shouldn't be doing so with Walcott. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Duckhunter Posted 5 March, 2023 Share Posted 5 March, 2023 Let’s wait until the end of the season before passing judgement. If he has a Tadic like run in, and is instrumental in us staying up, then he’ll absolutely deserve an extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
