Is that not proof that he is the second coming of Vardy? He was regularly absent from a lot of games until his chance came and he took it.

Well I don’t know, because there were an equal number of comments comparing him to Nuge, so god knows what his DNA actually contains.

 

As long as he has no relation to Elvis Hammond (Ankle), that’ll do for me.

[ronnup]

Both goals pure class. This is an exciting young striker. 

[Hammo]

We needed him to step up this month. It took him one day.

 

Arguably the best performance by any of our strikers this season. Just a shame he didn’t get the hat trick he deserved.

People will compare him to Nuge because he’s a scouser with dark hair and he plays up front.

No they dont

He done himself no harm at all with his performance today. Workman like, Intelligent, and clinical when he got the chances.

 

I like the way he makes his mind up early, The sign of a good Striker. 

 

Enzo I'm sure will be very pleased with him today.

[CrispinLA in Texas]

Just realised he only turned 21 last Thursday.... really great performance for someone so young

He reminded me a bit of a young Wayne Rooney today.

 

Similar physique etc.

[Arriba Los Zorros]

For me starts ahead of Daka and Iheanacho now. He's light years ahead of Daka in ability, and Kel has shown he can't be arsed.

If he does as well as Rooney we'll all be very happy.

[Double Decker]

I was impressed with his movements. He was regularly running in behind. He showed strength on his second goal. Both really good finishes, he tucked them away in the warm up well too.

Great start.

[The Quick Brown Fox]

What I liked was he was showing frustration at the passes that didn't come when they were clearly on and he'd made the run. He seems a very intelligent footballer, knows where the risk has to go and has the strength to hold off defenders. He also looked pretty quick, all the signs are good so far. 

If this is what we can expect from him it's no wonder Enzo signed him even after finding out about his injury. 

[ARM1968]

Well well, where are the naysayers?  I thought Canon was rubbish?  Well, according to some. 
 

One full game and what a performance. Wasn’t complete. Some of his movement wasn’t as good as Daka. However, his two goals were taken exceptionally well, instinctive. That shows me that he is a real talent. He was quick and strong. Two different goals both displaying exciting technique and ability. 
 

I think we may have an absolute gem on our hands.

Well that's good timing then ... 

[cruzFOX]

Give home some more game time and he will be an absolute goal banger! Perfect opposition for him today to get going. 

[Number 6]

Thought people had decided he was shit after he'd played 20 mins and not scored?

[Foxin_Mad]

Lad needs a song now! 

[UniFox21]

Really good start to his career here. 

 

One of the first goals this year made from nothing by the striker, only other really comes to mind is the Vardy screamer against Blackburn. 

 

Let's see how he does against a more testing opposition, especially with his build up play. But so far very promising.

Here’s one! 🙋‍♂️I stand by it, I thought he was gonna be a massive flop. First couple of appearances he looked bloody clueless. But there’s nothing better than being wrong about things like this, and the lad did well today.

 

I’m looking forward to seeing how he does against a better opposition, and hope I continue to be proved wrong. I’d much prefer that than he become this seasons Tete 😂

Loved the second goal.

 

First one is a good strike, but the second is a proper strikers goal.

 

Nice moment in behind, great awareness and strength to get across the defender and a composed finish.

Least you admitted it. Good man. Thing is his appearances were limited at the end of games when we were setting up to see them out. Hardly great for a striker. 
 

He’s shown some great ability today. One swallow does not make a summer so, you know, caution and all that. I do think the lad could be excellent though.

Its insane how much he moves like Nugent. He has pretty much the same quite short (but quick) stride length and holds his arms in exactly the same way.

Yep, time will tell. I’d love nothing more than for him to turn out to be legit and a key part in our success. I’m just a sceptical old b@stard 😂

[Chelmofox]

Was impressed. Sweet strike for the first and I thought the 2nd was a great goal. Has a good first touch. Was making lots of sharp runs that weren’t getting picked up. Early days, but definitely a player there.
