2021/22 Salomón Rondón

[Toast]

 

[Lanolin]

He’s still rubbish but he gives us a focal point and we need that because we just aren’t capable of cutting teams open. I don’t know how effective he’ll be from the start of games but I’d say it’s probably time to try it.

 

[BrendanGOT]

I would start him. Calvert Lewin even when fit is miles off it probably bcuz he keeps getting injured and missing games. Rondon is fit, gives us an outlet and can finish. Also don't want to see Richarlison in the middle again. Cmon Frank. Use the Derby as a free hit to test it out

That's true of every single player we have, as I've said in another thread that's why we're 17th.

 

[Cels]

Would like to see Salomon Rondon given some more game time for the end of the season. The guy is another option and offers us something different in the forward position.

 

[Lloydystark]

Changed the game when he came on, we actually won And challenged for some headers uptop nothing glamorous but gave us a target.

 

[HokieToffee]

Shocking how this tune has changed from when he was bought. Also shocking how DCL's form and fitness have declined

 

[Remember-the-name]

Hope he does to Salah what he did to McCarthy ??

He has been horrendous but he has been quite good off the bench lately. Did well today.

 

[Mr PEN86]

He's basically doing what DCL should've been doing. That long ball forward - gets a head on it on hold it up is such a key part of how we play. Must start up front on Sunday as Richy IS NOT a centre forward

This thread is hilarious and nobody is learning their lesson!

Match fitness takes a long time. When Rondon came he was not match fit, therefore he was rubbish. He worked hard to get match fit and now he’s alright, works hard and holds the ball up/wins flick ons.

Now loads are saying ‘he’s doing what DCL should be doing’ when it’s really clear that he hasn’t been match fit all season and every time he gets a few matches under his belt he gets another injury. Again, this doesn’t make him rubbish, it makes him unfit.

In elite football you need to be at your best and if you’re not fully fit, you lose the edge to dominate an opponent.

There’s been a definite improvement over his earlier season appearances.

With DCL out, he’s clearly the option. Even if he doesn’t score, he can play the target man in a way Richarlison isn’t capable of.

Start him centrally and you give Richarlison a shot of being more effective, too.

Mykolenko is another one getting that treatment.

Did well last night

If we're going to lump it up then he's a better option than Richarlison at CF

He will be like Mitrovic in the Championship next season. I expect at least 40 goals.......
