Arouna Kone

[Groucho]

I am happy to eat my words and alter my opinion that Kone is as useless as a very useless thing.

But not after one single game. He does however deserve credit for today.

Never doubted him .....

Changed the game when he came on.

Shame the defence (Stones) let him down.

My Man of the Match.

 

[coollino]

Good goal to game ratio

man of the match.

 

[WarringtonBlue]

Played very well, knows his role and exploits it perfectly. Shame he couldn't have scored with that header but hopefully he'll improve

 

[ArtetaMagic]

Good finish.

 

[Dithering Dougie]

Took his goal really well and looked lively. Hopefully a good sign for the season to come and he can get some confidence from today.

 

[ianefc]

He is our best striker

 

[Groucho]

Glad to see this lad slot against Watford.

Thoughts on his impact?

Well done Arouna. Him and Rom together are better than the sum of their parts.

In addition to my post here, I'd like to say that despite my disdain for Kone, I have been saying for at least a year that we should try two up front.

As said in another thread by someone, I just hope this doesn't make Martinez change his mind about getting a striker in.

Tbh I've always thought we look more lively when him and rom play together, like at times last year, they have decent understanding.

 

[Kiwi]

Looked very lively. Gave us more impetus going forward

Fair play to Kone today, he did everything asked of him and more. It would be fantastic if he could contribute like he did today more often and hopefully along with Barkley it gives him a much needed shot of confidence.

Still need a striker in before the window shuts though.
