why is everyone on this website and twitter obsessed with jelavic? he is awful. He had 1 good half of a season. Now defenders know that he is ****, constantly offside.

It's not about being obsessed, mate. He's not ****. He's very anxious to make an impact, which is why he's often offside. Works hard too and brings others into the game, always looks isolated when up front. Another striker alongside him is just the thing he need, IMO.

Poor excuse. He's a striker playing at the highest level who constantly finds himself offside because he doesn't have the pace to beat defenders, not because he's nervous.

He just isn't good enough, particularly not in a system which requires a decent level of footballing ability from it's striker.

I'd love to see him play alongside Jelavic to see how that would work. Think they could play off each other well.

No, just no.

Playing a man down when that useless beaut is on the pitch, 8 goals in 51 appearances. F*cking marvellous, Osman should be ashamed of that type of return.

We're definitely watching different players. He's often offside because he's slow and needs to anticipate.

I love a bit of Ossie, didn't mean that to sound like i'm sticking the knife in, just wanted a centre mid as an example :P.

That is not down to ability. Doesn't matter what league you play in, you'll bury that. It's confidence. Has no problem scoring in pre-season against decent opponents.
 
I still don't really understand what's happened to Jelavic. Defenders 'figuring him out' still doesn't explain how he's missed some of the chances he's missed, especially when you consider his finishing ability when he first arrived. It's the most severe, long-term loss of confidence I've ever seen. Really thought he'd be over it by now
 
Can watch this all night.
