2018/19 Cenk Tosun

Remember when we signed him from the Turkish Super Lig and he didn't have as many goals as Arouna Kone so far that season...Yet people are surprised he's turned out to be terrible. Odd.

Well he scored goals against CL sides like Benfica, Monaco, Napoli and Porto that year. Thats what made people excited. A bit let down here yes, though wasnt the worst player tonight imo.

He may depart if decent offer comes, lets see. But i reckon Marco will first try to ship Niasse.
 
Doesn't suit our style under Marco.

If Sam was still in charge I have a feeling Tosun would be playing every week and scoring some goals, but this isn't the case.

He managed a shot on target again today but it literally was straight at the goalkeeper and had no zip in it.
 

I do sympathise with Silva as he inherited a side with no great attacking players whatsoever. Tosun was our first choice striker with DCL and Niasse as back-up and yet we had horrendous issues to address in defence and midfield before we could even think about buying a striker.

What's most baffling about Tosun is the fact that he's never in the middle when crosses go in. There were a good 2 or 3 that went right into the ideal area, middle of the goal, from Baines and he was nowhere to be seen.

Has to go along with DCL, Davies, Schneiderlin and Kenny, for me.

I don't think he's 'terrible' per se, just doesn't suit the Silva system and isn't really good enough if we're actually looking to kick on at some point.
