Ramiro Funes Mori

I love how crazy he gets when the team scores.

Seems to love the club already.

He gets us

YNWA

tbf it was a great header from fletcher keep in mind cahill used to out jump taller opponents quite often

Fletcher, Giroud and Benteke are best headers of the ball in the league. Mori might have lost it this time but he's probably the best in the air we have.

 

[Jags..class]

Let's hope he can continue, his test will be in the next game against West ham

With a new defensive partnership that have barely played together, mistakes will happen but, Funes Mori does not look out of his depth as Vickery suggested. Koff Tim.

 

[Jeff Jones]

Fletcher put his arm out and pushed Funes Mori out of the way. The goal should've been disallowed.

Yes.....remember Tim Vuckery and his comments lol

Funes Mori has certainly won me over with his performances thus far.

 

[maccavennie]

He's settled in nicely so far, been beaten in the air a couple of times from a standing position ( Sunderland ) and last minute against Norwich but I think that's more of a case him needing to learn that even the crap strikers in this league have a few tricks up their sleeve when it comes to challenging defenders.

Apart from that all signs are looking like he's a good acquisition and at a great age as well.

No it shouldn't mate, it was a perfectly good goal.

Stones got caught out for Defoe's (as did Galloway not winning an easy loose ball in the build-up), and Mori got outmuscled and outjumped for their second.

But mistakes will happen. When Galloway came on we probably had one of the youngest defences in the league this season.

Mori I thought was excellent, and he's not looking out of his depth at all. The one thing he probably needs to adapt to more than anything else is the physicality of the game. He's got the pace, and he's pretty strong in the tackle, but he often gets outjumped/outfought when defending crosses. Strangely enough, at the other end, he seems to win most headers. But i'm confident, based on his displays so far, that he'll learn this pretty quickly.

 

[Nymzee]

He's surprisingly rapid

Agree with this, the pony-tailed donkey that is Carroll will definitely pose a test of both his and Stonesy's aerial capabilities.

Carroll had his first start back on Saturday so he's probably due another injury. He also helped Watford score with some classic Benny Hill defending.

I agree with most of that, BT, just not the first bit. I know what I saw.

If we'd of had a goal disallowed for the same thing, we'd of been livid. Nothing wrong with it imo, good jump to get the header.

Well done Funes you make that South American "expert" looking really stupid now.

OK, we'll just have to agree to disagree. If FM wasn't pushed, what made him move forward under the ball?
