Popular Post ARM1968 Posted 18 December 2023 Popular Post Posted 18 December 2023 I thought he tried too hard to bring others into the game in the final 3rd. Several times he should have just gone for goal. Still think he’s our best forward option by a country mile. You can’t please some people. Never mind. 9
East Langton Fox Posted 18 December 2023 Posted 18 December 2023 Tonight was a great opportunity in a wide open game for Daka to perform. He didn’t. 3

He hasn't really done anything, he got credit for the assist for KDH when it wasn't him. Any of the other 2 for me, as I don't feel Daka offers anything. "Hasn't really done anything" is a harsh assessment of a player with two goals and an assist in three games 5 1
Popular Post lgfualol Posted 18 December 2023 Popular Post Posted 18 December 2023 It’s his 3rd start in Enzo’s new team so cut him some slack. After 15+ games Vardy and Nacho still don’t look convincing, and we look more dangerous now. 6
dylanlegend Posted 19 December 2023 Posted 19 December 2023 IMO we looked more threatening when we attacked with Daka than Cannon. Dakas pace causes defences problems and that gives Fatz and Mavi more space 1
Popular Post sm1 Posted 19 December 2023 Popular Post Posted 19 December 2023 Sad to see Daka scoring so low in the match ratings. I think Enzo will rate his performance much higher considering how well he came deep and linked up the play. Looks the better of the 3 strikers that have played regularly. 6
Scotch Posted 19 December 2023 Posted 19 December 2023 I thought he played well tonight. Enzo wants his striker to drop deep, link play and make space for our wingers and #8s and tonight, as an isolated instance I think he done that better than Nacho and Vardy has this season. Involved on the 3rd and helped create some very good chances. I'm far from a fan of his but credit where its due. 3

His link up play was very good & his pace created room for the other forwards. I'm sure Enzo was very happy with his performance today. Easily better than Vardy or Nacho's performances so far . 1

Not like he's pulling trees up. Don't let stats cloud your judgement, if he was to do it consistently and make a good contribution I'd call it out. Last night he offered nothing. Trying little flicks when there was much better options.

We've scored 10 goals in three games with him in the team and the way he can drop in and link up with the 8s/winks (as is the role of the striker in this system) to enable the wingers and 8s is a big part of it. If you don't think he's making a good contribution, maybe that's because you don't understand his role in this system, because he's playing it very well 6

Perhaps the facts should help inform our judgement, rather than be ignored when they don't match our opinion. 2 1
Mark 'expert' Lawrenson Posted 19 December 2023 Posted 19 December 2023 Some people 😩we’re flying , scoring goals and still the moaning. 1
fuchsntf Posted 19 December 2023 Posted 19 December 2023 We should be very happy with, what that CF cluster are doing for us. Cannon needs a chain of starts…maybe with Daka..this tees up other options. A few on FT look to only a small compact choice…I could be misreading it.. Now we have it, we should use that CF-Partner Turn around and replacements. not 12_13 man squad, but 15-17 first choices approach… Which I believe Enzo actually practices. Though 4-5 niggling injjuries can curtail that area of developement. 1
markko Posted 19 December 2023 Posted 19 December 2023 Daka did make some great runs but he also messed up almost every opportunity he had to do something in the box when the ball did get to him.
Dahnsouff Posted 19 December 2023 Posted 19 December 2023 Think he was more than decent, and the question is not was he superb, the question is who would perform better? The answer this season seems to be no-one.
VintageFox73 Posted 19 December 2023 Posted 19 December 2023 I thought he played alright, made some great runs drawing the defenders , had a hand in the 3rd goal with a cheeky back heel . Iv noticed we are getting the ball forward a lot quicker since hes been in the team and not pissing around playing it around the back . I still thing he can get 10 goals for us this season and play a major part. Should of scored though when 7 yards out , but as any striker will tell you hes getting in the right positions its when your not we need to be worried . I love the underdog ! 2
Aus Fox Posted 19 December 2023 Posted 19 December 2023 In this system, I still think he’s our best option. For me I’d start him as first choice striker from now on. Obviously he will miss a few games with AFCON and we’ll need to make sure Cannon is up to speed, but his movement and general play is certainly the best option we have. 1
fox_favourite Posted 19 December 2023 Posted 19 December 2023 Is it me, or does there seem to be more chemistry between the attack when Daka plays? It might just be the opposition, but the last 3 games the forward line look more intense with each other. Daka didnt have his best game, but he was making good runs and movement 2

He created 2 goals so he actually played a brilliant game. Infact when you look at the statistics of last night's game you would probably find that without him we would of lost that game maybe drew. Last night was a great opportunity to enable Leicester to win and perform really well. He did.

LFEFox23 Posted 19 December 2023 Posted 19 December 2023 Off game for Patson last night, we go again vs Rovrum.
Steve Earle Posted 19 December 2023 Posted 19 December 2023 The full range of opinions as always! I'm in neither camp on Daka - I haven't completely written him off nor did I greet the previous two performances like the Second Coming. But he was dreadful last night, and if you're one of those who thinks differently - which is fine - then that's just endowment bias in action.

Fazzy just simply gets one month older & becomes even more of a threat. Look we are far from the finished article,but we see each week we have other things in our tank..

Whoever Enzo intends to play against Ipswich needs some game time against Rotherham.
