did OK. should have slotted that sitter. supposedly it his downfall as a striker which worries me.
He should have buried that chance, but when you consider his lack of match fitness I thought he played well. We looked much better with a forward.
It was nice to see movement, diagonal runs, defenders being harried and someone actually happy to get involved. A solid debut for us!
Thing is we know if he plays 30-35 games he'll get 8-10 goals.
As a substitute or back up, he will cause the defenders problems and hassle all game.
He's the sort of striker who fits well in a team rather than needing a team built around him. Really good back up in my opinion.
But he can't finish. People using his lack of fitness as a reason for missing from 8 yards. Relax and pass it in the corner.

Lacked composure for sure. He wasn't at the races generally.
Looking at this more positively today though: he was central to our two best chances...the one that fell to him (and you have to be there to score) and the ball for Coady to score.
IMO though we cant play him as part of a three on the basis of that...not with Gray and Gordon anyway. If we played Calvert-Lewin...in the event he actually plays again...then he'd be in business here.
That's just early observations like.

Never a player we can play off up front. My concern is that the failure to get more of a target man replacement for DCL will limit what we can do in attack.

It would be interesting to know why we signed him
Is he just a short term replacement for DCL as Rondon is not good enough
Or was he signed as a future to play alongside DCL?
Or is he destined to play from the bench to replace DCL
Has Frank revealed the strategy?
I trust there is a long term rationale...

He covered the most distance of any player today on either side. 11.2km
He created 4 chances
Should've scored, shame he couldn't play against Leeds.

With five substitutes, it really is a squad game. There will be opportunities to play all sorts of combinations at different stages of games.
He should have buried that chance but he was a catalyst in our forward play. A nuisance, a pain and a never say die forward which aided us immensely today. He will be beneficial to us
