Score against Newcastle its written in the stars
Yeah agreed, I think you'd have to be a bit churlish to say otherwise.….actually thought some of his hold-up and link play was decent. Encouraging progress.
SaturdayDelighted he is getting there bit by bit. Can't wait for that first goal to hit the net
it's happened in a couple of games recently on the counter - we mess it up badly when it should be an easy through ball/pass. It clearly looks like the players don't quite know who's going to run where - but they just need to play together more and hopefully it'll all click.Just wish the fans would chill calling it a great performance was a good team performance defensively but pretty poor the few times we went forward, especially at the end better quality and we should have finished the game off twice on the counter. Time will tell and like any player hope he does well but I don’t see it yet and winning the most aerial duels in a game so far this season doesn’t do it for me he’s a 6ft 4 athlete
To be fair, besides the chance at Sunderland I can't remember us creating anything for him except for speculative crosses into the box, one things for sure he's a far better fit for the team than Beto, he's a far better footballerRight- incredible display - essential -
Can it translate into goals?
That's what happened at for him at Villareal, he got the vast majority after Christmas when he grew accustomed to La LigaOnce he gets his first one; the floodgates will open.
He is going to be a star in the second half of the season.
Vault me!

Spot onThis is overlooked.
Has a cumulative total of 1.56 XG in the league this year and hasn't amassed a cumulative total within a game of greater than 0.6 (against Brighton). In other words, other than that Sunderland chance, we've not really given him anything to feed on.
He certainly hasn't been thus far. And yet some of our fans are now blaming our better players for his lack of goals. Crackers.He is not good enough, that is it.
