Cannon is light years ahead of Daka IMO with regards to the variation of his play, speed of decision and strength on the ball. Daka perhaps makes better near post runs whereas Cannon seems to favour checking back to the penalty spot (very small number of games to go on) so there's still lots for him to work on. 
Also keen to see how he is in the air when presented with a headed chance, which we haven't seen much of yet.

 

2 different players.. 

Good to have both type of choices available... 

Dont forget  we need a squad.. One will do better on different occasions... 

It might be down the line, we might want to play both..

LIKE many fans suggested for

Nacho-Vardy, or Nacho-Daka..

Chelsea and Man City's money didn't make strikers better.

The way football has changed in the last twenty years has led to an absolute draught of strikers and even a player like Hojlund who shows a slight amount of promise can go for 70m. There are barely five good strikers in the premier league, the richest in the world and looking across Europe there are very few there either. The two teams who have spent the most money in Chelsea and Man Utd still don't have a top striker.

All those were pre Chelsea / Man City money. I think since 2010, the list is pretty small. There probably are a few others, but it's harder and harder to do it.

 

Apologies, when you said only a handful have ever achieved it I assumed you meant, you know - since the invention of the Premier League. 

[Gamble92]

I love how after the few sub appearances all I could see were comments like "well he couldn't even get in Everton's team with Calvert-Lewin out for a year"

 

Now it's "will he break 20 premier league goals"

 

Brilliant.

There's a lot of disappointment in the Ipswich Post match thread. I do think it's worth mentioning here though that it looks like we have a serious player on our hands.

Yes - i thought he looked great. Hits a shot really sweetly as well.

If he was playing for a team that gave him the ball in dangerous areas he would be scoring for fun

His shot power and ability to get one away with very little space are very good signs. Will score for fun against lesser opposition over the rest of this season.

Why isn't he getting a sniff? He's been the best finisher at the club this season.

That’s a big leap! His xG isn’t great and he’s a cart horse, that has no positional sense.

Hmmm not exactly. But he deserved more opportunity

And he is injured.

[K789]

Well he'll be the number 9 next season and the only striker we have

[Tuna]

He'd have put at least two away today with the chances Vards had

Too slow for this system

Absolute nonsense...the striker barely gets a touch in this system . He's perfect for it. A natural finisher

You seriously believe Tom Cannon to be quicker than Patson Daka?

I don't think anyone does but Daka's "speed" is a myth because he has zero anticipation to back it up. He loses a yard simply by not noticing the ball is heading his way.

The system currently not working. It’s not rocket science to tweak a system to fit in with different players. What they call a plan B. 

[ronnup]

Tbf...the system isn't the problem. We've made the chances. We've just not taken them
