Yeah it’s so hard to judge a striker playing this system/tactics.

 
Hes barely had a sniff and I thought it was harsh bringing Riis straight in at the weekend.

He’s made some really good channel runs ( as did Riis Saturday) but our over coached popinjays chose to ignore and go sideways or back!

 We badly need Vardy like characters who when things aren’t going well say f##k him it’s not working do this, sort it out on the pitch! Lundstram come on down?

He has been starved of service but has he "got something about him" as people keep posting? I'm not so sure.

 

It would be nice to see him with a partner though and we actually play two up front.

I would love to see him playing alongside Riis. We are playing 2 wingers, why not play 2 strikers & get some crosses into the box, both the strikers are decent height so it may work & would certainly be more exciting.

 

However I know it won't happen as nobody plays 2 strikers nowadays. Being a centre forward must be a nightmare

In terms of minutes played it adds up to less than three games and I don’t think any striker has scored for us since Ayew against Sheff Weds in early April have they? 
 

Any new player needs to be given time, especially one that’s never played in the country before. It took Vardy a year to get up to Champ standard (and no he’s not as good as Vardy).

How many chances has he been provided with and missed poorly? I'm struggling to think of many...

Just to be clear, I'm not saying he should have scored or that it's massively concerning for the reasons you've both stated. What I'm pointing out is that this is a huge step up in terms of pressure and he's been let down by the tactics and the management of him. It's just easy to see him thinking that he hasn't scored in 6 (8 including his previous club), the manager has hooked me early a few times/dropped me/I'm not getting any chances etc and him feeling even more pressure

Weird signing, Daka had a much better record in a much better league and look how he turned out. This season’s Carranza only we’re stuck with him.

Daka cost 20+ times as much.

Bit early to be making such a definitive judgement of a young player who's adjusting to both living and working in a new county, but a whole new league, is still only 23 and has hardly been given any chances to even attempt to score.

same as Cullen last week, it was just a numbers thing listening to Martin's post match interview

Where is the excitement & outrage in that. I had loads of better ideas of why he excluded for 'footballing reasons' than that.

Journalists were being briefed otherwise pre match. 
 

Nothing major but fully deserved to be excluded

Rather him in the squad than Reid. 
I realize that isn’t really saying much when comparing any player to Reid. 

Definitely.  He needs time and chances.  Many on here wrote Vardy off at first and Admir is 3/4 years younger than Vardy was back then.

Given that we have only two strikers, I find it hard to believe he’d leave one out of the squad for ‘numbers’ reasons. Surely you include your only other striker among your seven subs?

He may be the only other striker according to us but it is very clear that Martin see's Reid as a striker as well

Didn't he fall out with a coach(s) at a previous club? Might be an issue, dunno.

News to me mate, not sure 🤷‍♂️
