He's a goal scorer and thrives on service and he's just not getting any. I know it shouldn't all fall on his shoulders but when you have smashed your club record signing a player for £30m and your in form striker from last season is suspended then I think it's pretty reasonable to expect a performance from him. If he knew how to keep onside and actually gave abit more up top maybe he might get more opportunities and not have fans on his back

I'm not saying that his link up play shouldn't be better but he isn't Okazaki...he's an instinctive goal scorer. Have a look on YouTube and you'll spot a trend...simple goals and (mostly) headers He didn't have a chance because he doesn't attack the ball, just stands still and lets the jeep come and claim the ball unchallenged.
UPinCarolina Posted 26 December 2016 Posted 26 December 2016 He plays like a center or a post player in basketball.
lifted*fox Posted 26 December 2016 Posted 26 December 2016 He was ****ing absolutely pony today. Ulloa looks 10x the player.
Nod.E Posted 26 December 2016 Posted 26 December 2016 You can't play with the defensive mentality we set up in and expect a target man to succeed. We needed an outlet, and that he is not. Having said all that it doesn't help that he was a bit sh*t.
TheUltimateWinner Posted 26 December 2016 Posted 26 December 2016 Thought he was going to be a costa type player for us, was so poor today, had no first touch, no positioning sense and no effectiveness.

Not his fault we got done-in by a goal kick and crossing to nobody. 30m was a lot but problems are in other areas. I'm sure you all thought he was a useless piece of shit when he got 5 goals with actual service. Although I want to agree, it's his first touch that bothered me - not to mention his attitude/body language. He kept losing the ball over and over again, and then berating others for it. Just...why? The creative problems are a real concern though, I agree. I'd like to think he'll get better if our service does, but...
AKCJ Posted 26 December 2016 Posted 26 December 2016 No service. He's a goal scorer. We didn't sign him so that he could show us his fancy touch or his pace. That isn't his game. He's not missing chances. When he gets a chance he invariably takes it. We need a creative force in our side. Mahrez should have started today. The only player that ever looks like wanting to create anything.
ZeGuy Posted 26 December 2016 Posted 26 December 2016 Anyone who's thinking he's a poor man's Ulloa is deluded. Bringing a target man to play him out of position and denying him any good service can't end well. He's never been bought to win defensive aerial duels or to go past two defenders. He's lethal in the box. That's his game. The rest is just angry fans needing to vent out their frustration.
melrose Posted 26 December 2016 Posted 26 December 2016 He reminds me of that kid as school that used to run about a lot but everyone new he was tom tit
Anish Posted 26 December 2016 Posted 26 December 2016 Everyone who is saying that he doesn't get service and he's lethal in or around the box - what about that chance he had on the edge of the box where he had a free shot on goal and scuffed it so badly that it went out for a throw-in? He simply doesn't put himself about - his movement in the area is poor and slow, he's never attacking crosses. His touch and passing ability is atrociuos and the fact that he doesn't even jump or challenge for the high balls is infuriating as a fan.
Monsell1976 Posted 26 December 2016 Posted 26 December 2016 Messi would loss his confidence in this side, ok he's had a shocker, but shit service, and not playing to his strengths. The bloke scores a lot in and around the box, not for using his limited ball skills near the half way line. Look who is providing the service, mahrez off form, Albrighton hitting and hoping, and floating the ball in, so it hangs lovely for the keeper, and Andy king, enough said on that. We saw early on he has something, but not with these clowns giving him service.

Harry - LCFC Posted 26 December 2016 Posted 26 December 2016 Has had a few bad games but did well in his first ten games. The above posts are examples of people overreacting to a bad result.
Matt Posted 26 December 2016 Posted 26 December 2016 He can **** off. He's just an expensive Akinbadbuy.

RowlattsFox Posted 26 December 2016 Posted 26 December 2016 Shit today and seems to be lacking in confidence but I'm convinced he would score goals if we actually created anything.

There were crosses going in, he just never attacked them. Ulloa did more in 25minutes than he did all game.
Stevosevic Posted 26 December 2016 Posted 26 December 2016 He's toilet. Can see why nobody has touched him. Obviously we took the plunge...
