Does make me wonder how many he might have had if we had started him as our number 9 at the start of the season rather than that fkin decrepit potato.

Goes all the way back to Swansea, where we and he played reasonably well and was inexplicably dropped for his troubles. 

 

The crowd do have some responsibility too. As a supporter base, we need to differentiate between an honest player with shattered confidence and those who are garbage. He's not that good, but would've been far better with some TLC from coaches and crowd. 

 

I'd say Stolarcyk comes into this category now. He looks terrified in a way he didn't early season. He needs some support.

He’s had plenty of opportunities here and has been an absolute failure whilst costing us a lot of money, he doesn’t deserve TLC.

I think most would go with your views and not mine tbf. 

 

Just think personally that - regardless of wage and expectation - when social media and the crowd keep kicking a man when he's down, it ain't gonna help matters

Im sure it wouldnt. But the crowd doesnt make you run out and flap at the ball like he consistently does in his poor decision making. Its an ability he doesnt possess 

[DDub]

He’s no footballer, but at least he tries.

Again, bare minimum but he tries and clearly gives a damn which is better than most of these losers. 

[lcfc sheff]

Shite player but the only striker that should play

[David Hankey]

7 goals so far this season. For an out and out striker this is pretty woeful and underlines why we are in the predicament we are in.

Still easily the best average of the squad given the minutes he’s played and streets ahead of Ayew 

[HarryDee8]

That touch to bring a long ball down in the first half was world class player level.   

 

So he does have ball control skills...... 

[oundlefox]

Good job he was on today to be honest because those goals he scored aren’t being bagged by Ayew in a million years. He’d have got nowhere near both

 

But it’s papering over the cracks. He will only ever be considered an expensive flop given his goals to games ratio

 

 

[Blue.Fox84]

One of his best performances. That being said, Preston backline was woeful and against a GK we binned off for not being good enough 

 

Confidence is a key part to a successful team however his dire performances have been apart of the clubs demise so deserves the criticism just as anyone else would in any line of work. He’s a professional footballer on a lot of money, if he can’t take criticism from fans then shows the weak mentality 

 

Hopefully he can back it up with another good game as consistency is required 

[Rubbersoul]

This is in no way saying he’s a good footballer but Christ he’s easier to root for than the other striker we employ.

if he’d played a full season, I’d agree with you but he’s not at all

I genuinely like Patson. He seems like a great guy. It’s a shame he’s not lived up to potential.

 

Ayew could score hat tricks for every remaining game and keep us up, and I’d still think he’s an arrogant *****.

[whoareyaaa]

Them two goals will earn him another contract somewhere, Shame he couldn't put the Pen or header away at Watford.

 

He was easily the best player on the pitch today... get dropped when he scores as well happened a few times in the past.

 

Would tear league one up.. Rudders..

Leicester's Gary Rowett:

"He's been on a flight from Argentina to Chile, Chile to Paris, Paris to England, and then in a car to a training ground, then trained yesterday morning and played with that much energy,"

"I think it was quite outstanding. I saw him training yesterday (Thursday) and felt as though he had good energy, so I didn't think it was a massive problem.

"Pato is so quick and so direct that I thought he might get into some good positions. So it was quite an early decision to start him“

Fair play to the lad putting in that shift today with that schedule. Zambia’s game was on Wednesday too. 

[Corky]

Goals that Ayew doesn't score.

He came to Leicester City.  Any coach would have pointed to JV and said do what he does.

Not hard.

He's trying to buy a free kick for the first without a doubt. 

[Raj]

2 goal that most on here would have scored.

Those go no way into changing his status as a donkey for this club.

 

 

[LCFCJohn]

Does it change his past (lack of) performances with us? No.

 

Does it mean we should suddenly keep him? No. He needs a new start as much as we do.

 

But it also doesn’t mean you have to mock him and call him out and he has actually had a really good game and done his part towards what should have been 3 point.

 

1 - Ayew and other strikers wouldn’t have been in the position to score those. For his many faults, Daka defends from the front and at least puts pressure on opposition defences to make errors and yesterday took them twice.

 

2 - I don’t think it’s right to play down the goals as not being worthy because they have been the result of Preston’s defensive errors. How many of the many goals we have conceded this season have been from pure great attacking play by our opponents where you just hold your hands up and say fair enough? I’d wager not many. The vast majority of the goals we have conceded have been due to errors so let’s take them when it is the other way round. 
 

On the defending from the front, so many goals we concede are due to giving the ball away cheaply in the middle of the pitch and there being no midfield. Opponents have so much space. So I will happily see any forward carrying out the work up the other end to relieve the pressure.

This.

Most goals are the result of defensive errors, one way or another.
