I've seen nothing from Daka to suggest there's even a glimmer of hope with him being a decent PL striker. 1
somebum Posted 30 August 2022 Posted 30 August 2022 Another poor signing, lacks movement, intelligence, awful first touch, not used well by Brendan in any case.

Watching him in pre-season, you can see he is eager to get at teams and has a pretty good one-touch layoff!!! Tippy Tappy possession football does not suit him, I suspect instincts put him in the right places, and copying Vardy's style won't help him.

One or two positive examples. There are many unsuccessful players that didn't work out here I could use instead. Doesn't fit the narrative though does it. No sign he's gonna be anything. Cut our losses and get rid. We are at a point now where we need a capable striker to come in and help a 35 year old Vardy out. Edited 30 August 2022 by Fox92

You can't judge a striker by just giving him a few minutes here and there. A striker more than any position needs a run of games. I think both Iheanacho and Daka would score plenty of goals. Vardy would be excellent coming on for the last half hour. 6

There are very few of our players it seems Rodgers style suits but I supposed that’s bedsides the point.. 1
Weller Wing Posted 30 August 2022 Posted 30 August 2022 (edited) Never forgot when he scored 4 goals away in Europe then got benched for our following game. Couldn't have done his confidence any good at all Edited 30 August 2022 by Weller Wing 1

He sees how the potential player plays and fits with his existing team, then he brings the player in and plays in another way. 1
BenTheFox Posted 31 August 2022 Posted 31 August 2022 I'd like to see how he performs if/when Rodgers goes. 4
Phenom Posted 1 September 2022 Posted 1 September 2022 He needs to get some starts with the first team over Vardy. 1
HUNTA84 Posted 1 September 2022 Posted 1 September 2022 Just now, TK95 said: That lay off was beautiful If only Justin had squared the ball to him 😕 4
Kierzz Posted 1 September 2022 Posted 1 September 2022 That lay off was the only time one of our players made a penetrating run off the ball against their last man - how times have changed 1

filbertway Posted 1 September 2022 Posted 1 September 2022 About 5 mins on the pitch and contributed more than Vardy.
weggy1976 Posted 1 September 2022 Posted 1 September 2022 (edited) It’s a joke he gets 5mins and we want to judge him on that. On average a player has possession for 3%. on average the ball is only in play 60%. so mathematically in 5 minutes (300 seconds) the ball is in play for 3 minutes (180 seconds) so he is looking at 6 seconds he could have been in possession of the ball. add into that he came onto the pitch into a team who had less than 10 touches in the opposing box. Not saying he’s the answer. But he’s not had nowhere near enough of an opportunity. And don’t forget Vardy struggled and actually wanted to give up football with us in his first season.

Ric Flair Posted 1 September 2022 Posted 1 September 2022 Why does he never get on the end of those though, the man is a ruthless finisher and yet we never ever get him in on goal. Movement is one thing but it's so annoying. 1

Babylon Posted 1 September 2022 Posted 1 September 2022 Mr Rodgers what shall we do, we’ve created zero chances for the man up top. “Bring on a like for like striker and change little else….” Arrrrrrrrrgh. 1

Corky Posted 4 September 2022 Posted 4 September 2022 Lovely finish, it was a tough ball to bring down too. 4
funkyrobot Posted 4 September 2022 Posted 4 September 2022 Got to say, I’ve not been a big fan of Patson since he arrived but he was our best player by a county mile today.

Agreed. Him and Youri stood out. Daka hasn't played much but it was good control and a good finish. 1
