He said himself that jags is faster than him. Had jags as the fastest player at the club in an interview . This is before Walcott signed. I would say that Coleman is faster , Walcott , jags, bolasie . DCL is not fast over 10-15 yards which is what you need as a striker. He may run the 100m fast but the players above all burn him over short distances. They all get round players and pull away with the ball , DCL doesn't do that

Well you’re arguing someone’s acceleration vs sprinting there aren’t you. I saw the interview and he does imitate he’s quicker. Everyone knows Jags is/was rapid anyway.

It’s just completely incorrect to say he isn’t quick.
 
I really don't get the idea that he gets a load of stick. People might have a bit of a moan about him on here but he gets total support at the match where it matters. I'd go as far as saying not many sets of supporters would be so patient with a lad with his PL goalscoring record.

So it's he who's saying he is fast, arrogant isn't he

He does get a massive amount of stick on here, some of it warranted, I just feel personally our expectations of him are way overboard at the minute.
 

He's decent and he's definitely improved this season.

What more do you want from a 21 year old striker who's often had to lead the line on his own, you mutants?
 
My main gripe with the sticks he gets was shown perfectly on Saturday.

Missed a good 1v1 and failed to square to Tosun later on = Warranted stick

Follow up to Tosun’s first goal gets cleared off the line = gets slaughtered on here

I can absolutely guarantee if someone like Coleman had that shot cleared off the line and Tosun scores no one would have batted an eye.

It was an open goal from 1 yard out. 1 yard ffs



If the prince had the minutes this lad has he'd be approaching 20 goals at least

Surely that would be because people feel the miss on Saturday was further evidence of him lacking a 'killer instinct' in front of goal though, which would be a fair criticism for a striker and not so much for a right back? In the same way that we might give Coleman stick for being skinned by a winger when we'd give DCL a bit more leeway due to it not really being something we'd expect him to be particularly good at.

I don’t think anyone’s needs killer instinct from that close though? Soon as he did that I knew this thread would go up 10 pages. People seem to love that he’s not scoring.
