2021/22 Salomón Rondón

[LeeCarsley]

he improved from Norwich game... slightly. Still think he's far from the standard an Everton 9 should be. Should've kept King in all honesty.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

He's not up to the pace and fitness levels needed yet, but he could still get there

Let's face it, he's only playing so much because Dom is out

Otherwise he would have been worked in far more gradually

 

[degsy]

I think he could yet be an asset as a squad player. Lad has been thrown in at the deep end without being fit

This.
He ran himself ragged again...well as much as he could, but he kept their two CBs honest and stopped them going walkabout forward. Even had two half chances - work in progress.
Probably get fit enough and then be dropped to the bench when DCL or Richarlson...probably Richo...comes back.

 

[Axlswhk]

He actually occupied the CB's allowing the midfield + Gray to push forward more but please keep telling us how you know more than a Champions League winning manager

No he is not, he was nowhere to be found when we had quick breaks. Nowhere near the penalty area when Townsend score.

 

[davids]

Get off the fella's back he's not fit we all know that - moaning constantly when we have a kid on the bench who's nowhere near ready and not Ronaldo or Cavani to replace him with.

I'd be delighted if he wasn't fit,but I have a feeling this is it,the finished product.

 

[Caolam]

He cost us nothing and he is worth every penny.

Remember when playing in the Sunday league, you often came up against a fat centre forward who was blowing for tugs after his first attempt at sprinting. You could tell that he was probably a decent player when he was at school, but, 2 packets of fags a day and 8 pints of lager every Friday and Saturday night meant that that was all behind him. Well that is Rondon at the moment, I would have no issue with him not being match fit after his long lay off, but, his general physical condition is very poor, he is well over weight and very sluggish looking.

Will he ever get his fitness levels back? Time will tell, but, at 32 with no top class football in the past 2 years, I would say it is unlikely that there will be too much improvement. Hopefully we don’t see him again until January when the cup starts and hopefully there will be a lot less of him to see by then.

How many minutes does he need before we can deem him fit?

You did ask.

I'm not a great scholar of players out there in the footie world and only knew that he'd played for Albion and Newcastle. When he signed for us and in our circumstances regards injuries I had him just as a stop gap until our front two get back. Hopefully that'll be for the West Ham game. In the meantime it's just to keep opposition teams defence on their toes.

He was like a cart horse mate the other ten players were brilliant......

 

[ford_uk]

I thought he got a bit better as the game went on.

 

[Vedder]

I thought he would be the one to make way, when Davis came on instead of Gordon. The longer the game went on the less we saw of him

 

[tommytowne]

That'll do for me then.
My hope he'd be a surprise star for us seems to have been misplaced.
Thankfully we've got Doucs, Gray and Andros.

We should have bagged a win in the end mate ..... A sausage roll in a blue shirt = Rondon .....
