It's the way he just suddenly stops that does my tits in

Totally. If you are a striker and you've literally just passed it to the winger then KEEP RUNNING TOWARDS THE GOAL SO HE HAS A TARGET TO AIM FOR AND YOU'LL TAKE A DEFENDER WITH YOU. Don't stand there like a lemon.

Defo. It's not like he's lazy because he's actually pretty proactive but he just, like, forgets that he's playing football after he plays a pass or shoots and just stops!

to be fair, sometimes our whole team forget they are playing football. Osman looked genuinely surprised when the ball came near him at one point: I think he was having some deep thoughts about time, consciousness and the cosmos when he was rudely interrupted by the football match going on around him.
 

Looked frustrated and is obviously out of form.

Not sure tonight's set up suited him though, yet despite that he showed himself with back to goal on numerous occasions. Difficult to see us playing to his strengths, ball in front of him and defender to run on to is not consistent with Bobby's style.

Having said that I will take any bets on him him not scoring 20+ goals this season.
 
Rom is a cracking player, I just think the biggest problem is he aint got anyone challenging for his place and he knows it, you will always get alot more out of a player fighting for his place in the team. Also when counter attacking with speed it definatly suits his game better then the slower paced posession football we try, your gonna lose momentum watching it go from left to right for 10mins before even reaching attacking half
 
He's played himself out of form. He was awful tonight but thing is he's always liable to smash in a brace then go on a mad scoring run. Hopefully with the derby coming up he chooses his timing well.

Last season he was let off with some poor performances as the team behind him wasn't creating much. It's different this season so likewise he will be expected to push on and score more goals.

How many "lazy" shouts did he get tonight from the UKIP types?

Several. In my eyes is lacking a bit of confidence last few games and things aren't quite falling for him on the pitch, just needs to bag a few and we'll see a better Rom

Thought so.

He's out of form but who else we gonna start up front? Just have to hope he either plays himself into form or we stumble upon a partner up front or formation that brings better consistency from him.
