2018/19 Cenk Tosun

And to think people moaned about Lukakus touch.

£27m down the crapper it seems.

He’s no Mikel Madar.

Can't wait to hear about his running off the ball and opening up spaces for other players today. Because that didn't happen at all. We have to get a striker with purpose.

Erm...he did do. Was the only one doing so. Just no one to pick the pass or get behind the defence.

Zero creativity today.

 

[KaiserEFC]

Been supportive of him, but he was poor today it has to be said. DCL should’ve been leading the line

Wouldn't lose sleep over him if you were a defender would you, no real outstanding attribute such as pace/strength/height/movement.

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

Needs to score in a bad way to gain some confidence also ran the wrong way twice to receive a tight pass.

 

[DanEFC92]

Can’t bemoan service and miss chances like he did late on.

Posted a tweet in the Lukaku thread the other day, saying Tosun is a better centre forward. Made me wince.

There were posters saying they'd have Tosun over Lukaku, without a trace of humour.

Weird how we score in every single game but people still say we create nothing for him. Almost as if he’s the problem with his lack of good movement and threatening attributes.

 

[ToffeeTim]

I just don't think he is that good. He literally did nothing today. I don't think you can play good attractive football that is sustainable long term, when your centre forward can't move about well.

What you're asking for is for the ball to literally be put on a plate for him from 6 yards out. The defenders are always one step ahead of him, how can you create for a striker like that?

Exactly. Said it ever since he came, I’ve seen nothing to suggest he will get goals other than those where he’s teed up and just needs to finish. It’s a serious worry now that I’ve seen him 20+ times.

And he will rarely get set up because his movement isn't anything special. Definitely easy to upgrade from what I've seen.

That's what baffles me when some lads say, he may not be scoring, but his movement creates the space for others to run into.
