2021/22 Salomón Rondón

[anton66]

He is terrible. It's not even where you can say a 10 minute cameo he'd do a job. From minute 1 to minute 94 he was slow, immobile, didn't bully their defenders, barely shown for the ball, looked way off the pace for counter attacks, brought one of our players into play once.

Absolutely crap, he has literally shown nothing where you can say as a fan "oh that was decent".

If it really is all about fitness, well they can work him harder than he's ever worked in his footballing career for the next 2 weeks.

Seen one poster saying he disrupted their defence. Ffs Stevie Wonder could have done that.

 

[MrD]

This guy makes Straq look like prime Brett Angel.

 

[Gilbert..]

3rd highest scorers in the league with this fella.
Imagine if we actualy had someone decent.

 

[BigDuncis Blue]

Give the lad a break. He has only played a few games and imo is getting better. As he gets fitter he could be quite good for us so give him a chance

 

[diggerdestroyer]

He has 2 weeks. Then I start judging him.

 

[Llyrap]

He’s not fit and he’s been playing in a poor league. We have no one else to play that role.

I don’t think he’s good enough for us - but…I thought he did ok today,helped keep our shape and enabled grey/Townsend etc to have some promising moments for us.

People advocating for dobbin to come on at 60 mins is bonkers to me…Rondon put himself about against varane and lindelof and showed a few decent touches, he is clearly limited but obviously has top flight experience that counts a lot in games like today in the premier league.

 

[blulouie]

Venuzuelan Ian Marshall.

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

He has 2 weeks. Then I start judging him.

Already know after two weeks I don't need more time to digest he is Joe Slowski. I think Tosun would leave him in the dust.

Where is Tosun - just out of interest?

 

[R.Reddington]

Jury’s out on him. Once DCL comes back in he will be straight in the team. Rondon is a backup at best, doesn’t offer much when on the pitch unfortunately.

 

[sageyefc]

Do we think he’s going to score a single goal for us in his time here

 

[Goat]

Do we think he’s going to score a single goal for us in his time here

I doubt it currently.

 

[Sagar]

I sure hope DCL and Richarlison don’t get injured at exactly the same time again this season.

Well mate, as far as I know Rafael, he will try to get a back up striker this Jan itself. And if the conditions are right, he will buy a proper striker , he will not be satisfied with DCL as the main striker either, leave alone rondon as backup, rondon was good when I watched him last at Newcastle, he looks completely off books now. He won't play next season, until somehow he improves drastically.

Exactly this, he was a presence... That's all he is atm but it worked with our game plan a 'false 9'would have been awful
