Leigh Griffiths

Yeah and dont get me wrong its natural for strikers to get frustrated even dembele does but nowhere near the extent of Griff he seems tobe getting worse... maybe just the lack of games and goals

 

Incorrect, you pick one chance that Griffiths could have done better with and think this proves Dembele/Edouard are better finishers. There are many examples of Dembele taking a clumsy touch or passing up a goal scoring opportunity that Griffiths would have buried with his eyes closed.

 

To think not long ago we had Griff, Carlton Cole, Kazim Richards and Stokes to choose from some change a few years makes.

 

whats griffs goals to mins ratio his past few games? Im sure Moussa and Eds are better... Last season he wasnt great while Moussa was out... Hes missed a fair few chances last few games ive seen I think hes a great finisher but the two lads are better and better players

 

Christ

This is what I mean when I talk about people complaining about the current transfer window

 

It's the same at the back also, we want to improve our defence and are desperate too as fans.

But in reality we usually have a much worse defence than we do now...

2005-06 Telfer Balde McManus Camara/Wallace/Wilson
2006-09 Wilson/Hinkel Caldwell McManus Naylor
2009-10 Hinkel Caldwell Loovens Fox/Hinkel Thompson O'Dea Braafheid/Naylor
2010-11 Cha Rogne Majstorovic Izaguirre
2011-13 Matthews/Lustig Rogne/Majstorovic/Loovens Mulgrew Izaguirre

It's only really 1998-2005 and 2013-now that we've actually had pretty good defences.

 

Hahahahaha cheeky * I love it

 

I dont agree with that sub. Didnt deserve to be taken off, Looked like our best goal threat. His hold up play was decent too.

 

Thought he was abysmal.

 

lost all our attacking threat after he went off.

 

Should never have been subbed, he was rarely involved so youd think with us needing goals wed put Edouard on beisde him to get us more involved in attack. Our only two chances of scoring was when he got efforts away as well.

 

Should've been given a chance to go 2 up with Edouard..

Great striker and finisher but it has to be said....his link up play and awareness of teammates around him is terrible..

 

He got no service tbf, Gordon was punting high balls to him all day, not his game..

 

Pregnant by tonight.

 

In at half time for a 5 minute party.

 

True. Was more talking about the time's he was on the ball and could've laid it off or seen better options..

He's really lacking at it..

 

Which is why I’ve never been a big fan of him. When he’s on his game he’s a good goalscorer...but he’s one of those players where if he isn’t scoring, he’s a waste of a jersey imo.
