2018/19 Cenk Tosun

[Abraders]

I rate him. We need to create chances for him at some point though.

I might get bashed for this but watching Tosun Bestikas Highlights wasn't very impressive. I hope the lad can Improve his fitness for the premier league. Hasn't shown much outside Brighton match. Was an Allardyce signing if i Reckon.

To be fair to him, playing with 10 men always the hardest for strikers, they work hard, help defense, get tired, so he got to play 10 men play 2 of 3 first matches of the season, not essy, still got 2 assists in those matches, nice pass to Theo today. He needs organised team play without any red, he will score goals surely since Bernard will start playing next week.

I think he’s played well tbh and like you said, in his 2 away games he has played 100 mins with 10 men.

What a load of bo**llocks.
This guy is working his ass off to make space and chances for others.
His finishing is good when given the chances too.
His time will come.
I despair sometimes.

Walcott and richarlison are there to create the chances, we need a boss slotter. 5 goals in 17 games.

Tosun, DCL, niasse. Not good enough comared to the top 6.
Dcl 5 goals in 43 games, extremely poor.

People need to wake up and smell the coffee and realise that putting in a shift doesent mean they are a good striker.

He works so hard, and it's great to see.

He offers so much more than Niasse and DCL. I'd like to see with Richarlison out, Niasse given a go up top with him for Huddersfield. With both of their work rates, i'd seriously be so excited by that prospect!

 

[TrixyStevens]

He’s an intelligent player. As a forward he lacks a huge attribute though; pace. But other than that, he has good control, strong, composed and he can play ball. He’s not going to score 20+ goals a season in the system he’s used in but he creates the space and opportunity for others to. A very good player

No centre forward scores in this team. The fact that he makes all the chances our team creates says it all. Our midfield is pub team standard at creating chances for a striker.

We scored 6 goals in 3 games. How’s that pub standard?

..i’m hoping we attack with pace and threat, releasing players behind the opposition back four. It’s difficult for Tosun to do that because he’s lacking those attributes. The concern is he’s not getting on the end of things because the game is happening beyond him.

He’s doing an ok job but it would be brilliant if we carried real threat in central areas of attack.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

We do love a hard working player, but I would rather a lazy arsed Lukaku every time who slots though.

Hopefully instead of just being hard working Tosun can start finding the back of the net.

 

[sageyefc]

Don't think he's suited to away games

 

[arch stanton]

Its a team game, as long as someone is scoring I dont care if its the centre forward or the wide forward players. I seem to recall the graeme Sharp wasn't the most prolific but he was ace at bringing others into the game for goals. Do we need better, of course, but that thinking applies all over the pitch too.

 

[ToffeeTim]

He is absolutely terrible at defending.

 

[COYBL25]

He is absolutely terrible at defending.

Not many centre fowards are though.

He is absolutely terrible at defending.

Yeah I also noticed he had problems adapting zonal marking so the boss should have a talk with him. But it is hardly his primary duty. And zonal marking doesn't work, Tosun is up for it or not, not ideal.
