    Should be taking any serious fee in the window. Love the guy but has badly let us down and showed the differmece being a good striker and a world class strike over last few months

    He was * today. Constantly running into defenders, giving the ball away, and not linking with Griffiths.

    He’s playing on Reputation at the moment

    very poor decision leaving him on today and taking Griff off. Griff is the spark. Very disappointed in Eduards attitude

    I don't think it's an attitude problem .... he's just not at the races.

    He looks so much slower than he used to be.

    Was never a pace merchant but he was no slouch either. No he looks like he’s towing a caravan when he tries to sprint away from someone. Same with his agility. Used to twist and spin players for fun but he’s turning like a bus and looking clumsy on the ball.

    Absolutely no sharpness to his game whatsoever.

    Would love to see his running stats and compare to, say, this time last season.

    Don't see a big drop off in effort, personally, and his demeanour doesn't seem massively different to how it's been before.

    I know he always looks laid back and as if he couldn’t give a *, but previous season’s he stepped up and looked unplayable. This season he’s been terrible barring a few games, yesterday he was a disgrace and should’ve been hooked before Griffiths.

    Stats don’t tell the whole story though. Usually things get left off to suit.
    those stats don’t include fouls / free kicks won.

    I thought I saw he won a few some times it was the only thing he could do. what do they go down as?

    I think disgrace is harsh. He wasn't as good, but I ddin't think there was a lack of effort or anything.

    Need to disagree then, I thought he was honking and along with Christie one of our worst players yesterday.

    Not easy when he has 2/3 men on him, and Madden just lets them do what they like.
    Griffiths also had a great chance to lay him up for a straight forward shot but took it himself.

    Stats like this don’t tell the full story.

    They seemed quite happy for us to be on the ball, the play wasn’t breaking down until it was with our attackers as they were quite deep and Eddy was closed down instantly by 2 sometimes 3.

    Some of the balls played into him were pish. Some behind him, some fizzed in, so by the time he’s tried to control it and sort his feet he’s got men on him.

    There was a moment in the 2nd half he received the ball and had running room. Griffiths and I’m guessing Christie both peeled out wide and left him isolated. They needed to get closer to him to link up. Edouard’s game isn’t skinning full defences, those are moments of magic we sometimes get, his bread and butter is linking up with others.

    He didn’t have a good game, but he was becoming a scapegoat early on when things started to get frustrating. There’s more to it than stats and saying he was *.

    He's playing with an apathy that you would expect to see in a striker playing for a team struggling against relegation.

    Those stats are from sofa score.

    He won a few fouls for us but for me that was his only contribution.

    His disinterest in winning, flicking on high balls is so frustrating, unless it's in behind or at his feet he's absolutely useless.
