Where do you suggest, as Siggy is still trying to find his best position too ?

oh so that's not 45m preferred position ahh that's why.

One of the pundits described him as quick, strong and technically gifted. I've yet to see any evidence of any of these. Does anyone remember him beating someone for pace? He cannot retain possession (it'd be interesting to count how many times during a game he falls over after the merest touch desperately hoping for a foul because he knows he's lost the ball), he has no eye for goal and doesn't 'bring others into the game'. In short he has a negative effect on the team, whenever the ball goes near him, the move is over. He should never play for us again...…..and let's not use the excuse that 'he's only young and learning his trade', by his age you've either got it or you haven't

Tosun uses his shins more than DCL - tbh DCL put a good shift in today- held the ball well, and did turn , and beat a man .... Tosun back to goal it's just bounces off his shins utter useless hold up play.....gives th e ball away easily - DCL linked our play up today missed one chance!
We need a better top striker, better than we have, DCL ok to come on as Substitute - he is learning - Tosun needs to return to Turkey!

Not good enough to be playing in the first team. Within the first 10 minutes he cost us a goal by not squaring a simple pass and then showed his quality again by missing an open goal a couple of minutes later even though it was offside which he wouldn't have known anyway. He has scored just 6 goals in 47 starts in the premier league. Niasse has scored twice as many as that in the same amount of starts and he isn't good enough to be starting either.

We are still paying the price for not replacing Lukaku with a quality striker who can play in the premier league and score a few goals. Doesnt have to be 20 a season, just knowing where the goal is and how to score without an injection of confidence would do.

Tosun is massively better than DCL Joey, end of.

Someone was suggesting earlier that Siggy's best position is playing just in front of the back four, so going by that logic, Lewin centre - half fam?

 

[Azza]

He can't half chase the ball around though. He'll go far this kid.

How on earth does this lad even make the matchday squad, let alone start.

 

[joko]

Kane had touch just needed premier league to slow down for him, maturity as player.. Game will never ever slow down for dcl, not at this level.. Middle of pack championship is his upside but he is not there yet

 

[sharkey1001]

The lad will never make it, even in the championship. Absolute garbage currently. I would rather have Stuart Barlow upfront.

P.s. What does Duncan Ferguson do exactly? He should grab DCL by the throat and tell him if he pussys out of any more challenges or headers he will fill him in. At least 10 times a game. He is a timid, talentless boy, and he knows it. He tries to hide in games and reminds me of phil neville in that regard.

2016/17 - 0 assists every 345 minutes (0)
2017/18 - 1 assist every 267 minutes (7)

Goal's a goal. Statistical evidence of improvement.

 

[mkrudden]

Same as Holgate. Not ready.

 

[gonetomorrow]

If he'd taken that chance early on it would have been huge because Arsenal's defence was at sixes and sevens.

 

[Parker]

Suppose it's just chance that he was upfront for our best performance of the season then....
