2017/18 Oumar Niasse

[hktoffee]

DCL has to do that much running on his own up front that I've noticed in the last 20 minutes of games his work rate drops because he's that knackered (that's when Niasse should come on if Sam isn't going to start him in games) either he needs to pace himself a bit more, or he's being asked to do a thankless job, probably a bit of both in my opinion.

This.

The proper new striker will help things out too.

The prince and DCL provide competition.

Niasse was given his chance, finally, grabbed it with both hands and scored five goals, and has been dumped again.

We're about to spend 20 million on a new striker when we have one here who might be the man.

We’re allowed more than one striker, FYI.

I think Niasse is a much better striker currently than DCL, but DCl does one thing very well that Niasse does poorly, and thats win headers and touches on long balls. With a new proper striker and Niasse as a second striker I think he would do well, I mean he almost scored a goal in his short appearance on Tuesday, the only real attempt on goal we had.

The irony is he lost his newly found place in the starting XI by virtually single handedly earning us an unlikely looking point at Palace

They both have unbelievable work ethic but at the moment both lack quality.

true but I don't think DCL wins enough headers to justify starting him over Niasse.

Yes, I knew that, but shouldn't we find out exactly what we've got, and then we'll know what we need to work
with him, or replace him.

Ironical, I agree, and we've played six matches he was available for since. How many goals has DCL scored in those?

He's one for the future, but we need an experienced CF right now. Niasse has shown us that he may able to hold down
that position, but we need to see more of him.

I agree. Winning headers is great, but also pointless if you have no one to win them too. Meanwhile, Niasse wont win nearly as many, but produced the one clear cut chance DCL couldnt. Honestly I think they are best suited together, but if its only one up top it depends on if theres going to be anyone to support.

Niasse seems touchy. After Allardyce maybe he would show a better performance but I'm not sure about that.

SPICEY !!!!!

Having 3 strikers seems sensible, DCL, Niasse and Tosun.

All look to provide different things.

Doesn't matter what any of them provide when we don't create chances for them

Aye we’ll have Niasse for work rate and goals, Tosun to give us some physical presence and set piece threat, and we’ll have DCL and his nice looking girlfriend.
