Lambert09 Posted 19 December 2019 Posted 19 December 2019 Who do we think is the best finisher out of our current wide options? Plenty of debate so far on not scoring enough from these areas. All 4 have positive but different attributes but which of them would you trust to find the net the most?
TiffToff88 Posted 19 December 2019 Posted 19 December 2019 Barnes showed at West Brom just how good he can be when he's full of confidence. I have full faith in him finding that goalscoring form for us and becoming a massive part of the team
filbertway Posted 19 December 2019 Posted 19 December 2019 That's like asking who the best midfielder out of Kisnorbo, Hughes and Tiatto
bmt Posted 19 December 2019 Posted 19 December 2019 This is such a quality thread. I know it's made with good intentions but it has managed to make part of our best ever team (arguably) sound depressing. Lovely stuff
sdb Posted 19 December 2019 Posted 19 December 2019 Perez the best finisher, Barnes the best at getting into goal scoring positions. Gray and Albrighton not really anywhere near good enough in either regard, as talented as they both are.
Fox92 Posted 19 December 2019 Posted 19 December 2019 Perez, obviously. Look at some of his goals, including those against us!
Nicolo Barella Posted 19 December 2019 Posted 19 December 2019 Perez now. If we're lucky, in a few years somebody will root this thread up and laugh at it, then start a conversation about how far Barnes has come.
Alf Bentley Posted 19 December 2019 Posted 19 December 2019 Perez.... Look at his record: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayoze_Pérez 46 goals in 191 Premier League appearances. He just hasn't bedded in yet. Give him time.
KingsX Posted 19 December 2019 Posted 19 December 2019 A “Buy a Winger in January” ad disguised as a poll? If so, well done. There’s only one answer and as a finisher, he’s the streakiest mess since spray-on suntans. You still won’t get me onside for paying ₤60M for Zaha though. Ayoze is due for a hot streak, and the next two games is where to start.
Ric Flair Posted 19 December 2019 Posted 19 December 2019 Perez and Barnes seem to keep holding each others beers whilst they out do each other on blasting the ball over the bar. It's an enthralling and fascinating contest.

kingfox Posted 19 December 2019 Posted 19 December 2019 Albrighton has showed a number of times that he can finish. As for the rest... Barnes only scores wonder goals Perez is clearly a waste of £30 million Gray has a Schlupp brain

Barnes only scores wonder goals Perez is clearly a waste of £30 million Gray has a Schlupp brain And the number is 17 in 256 appearances. Marc is a fine player but clearly not a striker and we need another player who can put the ball in the net , not just Jimmy and Jamie.
Lambert09 Posted 19 December 2019 Author Posted 19 December 2019 is there a genuine belief with some here that Albrighton can finish better than Gray? Not buying that for a second. I would say finishing is the least of DG's problems, its the decision of when to shoot that lets him down.

worthosoriginals Posted 19 December 2019 Posted 19 December 2019 Ah great, another excuse to slag our players off thread, in disguise. Second in the prem and in a cup semi final. Shite arnt we? What is wrong with some of you lot?

Does it take time to bed in to score sitters and not smash the ball over the bar? He's just not a great finisher. Sometimes he'll hit a little purple patch but in general he's very inconsistent in front of goal. I very much doubt he'll improve at this point.

Being 2nd gives us a better chance of attracting a quality wide player who could help cement that position.

After all Pepe has been roaring success for Arsenal so far. We would be absolutely crazy to spend 60 million on somebody who would be no better than the players we have. Thankfully it's not going to happen.

He's just not a great finisher. Sometimes he'll hit a little purple patch but in general he's very inconsistent in front of goal. I very much doubt he'll improve at this point. He's clearly often smashed the ball under the bar quite effectively to average 1 goal per 4 games in 5 seasons in the PL as an attacking midfielder/wide man (mainly for a poor, defensive side). Yes, he's certainly missed a few good chances during his brief time at LCFC. How typical that is of him, I don't know, as I didn't watch Newcastle matches week in, week out for the past 5 years. My comment about giving him time to bed in was meant more generally. His overall performances have been inconsistent - a few good, some mixed, some not so good - but he's only been here for a few months.
Astleyfox Posted 19 December 2019 Posted 19 December 2019 None of them could hit a cows arse with a shovel. They are the only weak link in our first choice team.
