Offers absolutely nothing up there. .. admittedly he's a young lad and is isolated due to the fact rooney can't run 5 yards but nothing at all is sticking to him.

He's neither strong enough to be a hold up player nor is he quick enough to play on the defenders shoulder and run in behind... really needs to step up.
What's the alternative?
Niasse and Rooney.
And to think we seriously thought we could challenge top 6 with those forward options.
Stick Rooney up front to see him not up front.
Stick Niasse up front to watch him be terrible.
Alternatives aren't great.

Reminds me a little bit of that young lad Arsenal had - Yaya Sanogo - in the sense he can stretch team with his pace, run-in behind but offers next to nothing in terms of goals.
You'll know more than I do of course, but you've persevered with him as he's clearly talented and still young but ultimately, strikers are judged on goals and ability to produce the goods, he doesn't seem to offer enough.
Maybe he isn't getting the right support, but he's not holding the ball up enough.
He's very well thought of though, hopefully he finds some consistency.
Having 'potential' will only get you so far - needs to do more.
(just from what I've seen)

Stick. Niasse up front and watch him score goals
Better first touch than Rom, never gave up, completely isolated but still tried to create and bring people in, win headers/throw ins.
Leave him be. He is all we have, not his fault.

How many actual clear cut chances did he stuff up today?
The through ball was no where near him from vlasic and the cross where his header went wide was a nigh on impossible header.
So none.
