Criminal not to have at least three strikers at your disposal in the first squad. Not at least because it offers competition for a starting spot.

 

We need different types of strikers, as well. With us, a tall guy who is good at heading. Put those crosses in for good use.

 

But then again, our management is incredibly short-sighted…

But I feel he offers more to the team than Carranza. As dismal as he has been, he’d be my starter. Unless we try Mavidi up front

He doesn't start for me. The guy has 0% confidence with about 5% ability based on current showings. Another player afforded far too many chances and never delivering. 1 goal in 50 games. 1 goal in a calendar year, almost. A striker with that record gets shafted out pretty sharpish. Unless we're absolutely desperate and all other alternatives are exhausted, then he gets a place. 

 

He has the balance of Bambi. Legs like jelly and acts like he's scared of the ball or any kind of contact with a defender or goalkeeper. He's weak as fvck. 

 

As shite as it is, Ayew starts up front as a preference, and Cifuentes needs to find a way of getting midfield runners and wingers to be far more effective when you have strikers who don't like facing the goal.

This is more of a challenge. Phil

Gotta be honest, a few round me booed Daka on to the pitch last night which I thought was a bit weird. Yeah Patson is useless, but I wouldn't put him in the bracket of Soumare, Faes, Ayew etc in terms of his body language and effort levels. :dunno:

Just shows you how the top English football leagues are head and shoulders tougher than the European leagues. Prior to joining LCFC Daka played 125 matches for RB Salzburg, for whom he scored 68, gave 27 assists.... a pretty strong resume for a striker, don't you think?

 His frailty and lack of competitiveness in "one on one" situations are no secret to anyone. All the defender has to do is bump him, and down he goes. And he's no small boy at 183 cm.

The bar is incredibly low, but i think it's pretty obvious Daka is our most effective striker. None of them can hit a barn door, but he offers more than the rest in terms of work rate and keeping defenders occupied.

It’s just where we are right now. But on both fatawu and jj’s one one ones, he was on for a fifa tap in. 
 

puts them in along with the assist and you probably hold your hands up and say he’s had a good game.

He was OK. He's honest and keeps the centre halves cautious. First half was kinda a 6/10 but second half faded. 

 

Whether people like it or not, we won at Swansea in our best performance this season and we won today - both with him starting. 

 

He's likeable. We need to cling on to anything likeable right now

He was better than that. Obviously he's still crap but he worked his socks off, actually had lots of good link up play and most importantly, he gave us some sort of out ball/occupied the defence.

 

As you say, we have to accept where we are at the moment and the fact that he's a million miles better than the other options up top

Tbf he did link up well today and worked hard. He needs to show more quality up front where it counts but he played well I thought. Best option we have up front with Bobby behind imo.

It’s actually laughable how bad this guy is. I honestly don’t think he even would score goals at national league level

Based on your other takes, you probably think Carranza or Ayew are better than him lol
