2021/22 Salomón Rondón

[neil999]

He was a bit rubbish, but I still think we needed that presence up front so that we knew we could go long

 

[Osamabindiesel]

Defended well for United today. Surely won’t be in their plans for long, so maybe we can get him at a discount?

 

[ilikecheese]

I think we should just put him back in the bargain bin.

 

[fareastblue]

Can't win a ball, can't win a foul, can't track a man, can't even take a shot. Man I do not know what to say

 

[Gilbert..]

Thank god townsend was on his bike for the goal because i think varane catches rondon if its him.

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Thought he did better 2nd half.

Still miles off the pace but Dobbin wouldn't have had a sniff fighting Varane and Lindelof for flick ons.

 

[Gerbs]

He’ll catch some shine bc of the good result but don’t get it confused, he was poor all match

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

I think he occupied the CBs better than people think.

Its your typical opinion of someone who watches the game and judges solely by what the player does on the ball/chances they have at goal.

Its why people called Wilf Zaha crap for years when he was less prolific despite him being key in dragging defences around and winning fouls in and around the danger zone.

He was bang average today as he has been every game but he did what was needed at times.

I thought he grew into the game, 2nd half held it up well. Did some excellent flick ons that nobody got on the end of

Exactly. Rafael knows what he offers, and does what he was asked (all be it a bit slower lol).

Agreed. Not very glamorous though, and that what people notice.

 

[NilSatisOptimum]

Not a ringing endorsement "think". Considering the injuries at the back, probably less match fit than Rondon himself, phenomenal as that my sound...

He’s got a long way to go with his fitness but if you can’t run at least win what you can. Against a poorer team today our players would have been 10 yards further up the pitch and one of those flick on’s could have resulted in a goal.
More of a contribution that any other of our back up strikers the last few years

If he was a horse he’d have been put down already
