Wonder what he’s thinking
Started last week ,Left on the bench yesterday then Harris , Ward and then Reid come on when we’re looking for a goal
I know. It would be nice to be a fly-on-the-wall in training.
Can anybody truly remember the last time he's put in a stellar performance?
Personally, I've often thought that he hasn't put blood and sweat into his performances and can also be a bit hesitant.
Also, he was imposed on us, wasn't he? I mean that he was given to us by Vinny's other club, rather than heavily scouted etc. I admit I'm not certain of that fact, so will appreciate any correction.
Need to get rid.
In many ways he reminds me of Josh King. He struggled for a long time with lack of games, injuries and wasn’t preforming. I believe Zahore needs a good run of games and encouragement to see his true potential. He isn’t getting either right now, and he might not get it either. Hope he is working positively on his mindset, rather than looking for an out at this point.
We're chopping and changing too much for my liking we need to play one and stick with them for a bit, look at wolves starting with the same team for the 8th game running
I’ve said basically the same and last week when I saw him in the starting line up was hoping Reid would be playing off him , really want to see how that would go and was a little dismayed to see Paterson in that position , who in fairness has done alright mainly by his ability to win a header but maybe I’m a little old fashioned in liking the big man little man formation ala Toshack Keegan but then ken would need to win the headers which he’s definitely not doing at this moment
We don’t not have time to let him find form. He’s doesn’t look like he’s trying half the time. Get rid.
I thought he played well against Burnley but needs a goal
Probably agent getting in his head.
And think he will be sold this January.
Weren't Everton going to offer £15m for him a few seasons ago?
They were, but holding onto him was exactly the right thing to do at the time as it demonstrated an ambition that we all thought might had gone. There was a lot more riding on him staying than just turning a profit.
Ken has been a key part of our getting to the Premiership but he seems a little too immature to take advantage of it on the surface. He's going to have to roll his sleeves up in both training and on the pitch.
I was actually really pleased to see the effort he put in against Burnley at the start but he's now got to work on speed of thought and taking half chances. His shot against Hart was another positive step in that direction.
I think Zohore will have a role to play for us this year (hopefully) but he's running out of time to prove this to himself and NW. I'd hoped that his new kid would make him realise how important it is that he succeeds. It seems to have had the opposite effect so far
True. But he must also be confused while we play a central defender in his position. Maybe we could move Murphy down the right flank and have him and Hoilett up supporting Zahore. But the right wing is also occupied, by a central midfielder.
I believe Etheridge is one of our most successful passers, he has the highest passrate doesn’t he?
Maybe he should cover for Ralls and Zahore could have a run as goalie?
If taking the discussion in that direction, I believe we need to be much more compact. The 4-4-1-1 is leaving us disjointed. We can keep it together in short spells, but it opens us up, and drain the players to fatigue. Going forward we can’t get enough players up there, and when we do, we have no chance going back fast enough.
Although I dislike the formation, I believe a 4-5-1 turning 4-3-3 going forward is the way to go with this squad. If that means wingers or wide midfielders is the same, but three of them will need to brake fast.
My point on a lot of players out of position is that it’s very difficult finding a good rhythm of play.
4 4 1 1 is basically 4 5 1 just with an advanced midfielder, and it isn't working, I don't think anything will work with the players we have. There's a severe lack of pace and thinking in the midfield apart from camarasa who does try and get on the ball. We are so flat at time is unreal. Ralls is way off, and Arter is just wasting energy and getting angry, it needs to be a bit more sophisticated than that. The problem-in my opinion-is that we set up not to lose, that's fine if there's an outlet, or a couple of players with the individual ability to win a game and a defence that can defend, we haven't got any of that at the moment. I reckon that we should press high and go all out to win at home, get higher up the pitch and support the front man, if it means leaving gaps then so be it, we need a win, and our current style and tactics wont allow it. Warnock needs to be braver and allow the midfield to press higher and for the defence to play a higher line. We may get smashed by the better sides, but have more of a chance against teams from the bottom half. Things need to change, we don't look like winning under the current format.
It seems to make sense. Our best pressing performance was against Arsenal who wanted to play everything from the back.
The one downside of the "defense taking a higher line" is that players like Morrison and Manga are extremely slow and decent premiership forwards can lose them over 5-10 yards.
you almost feel grateful when you see Zohore chasing down a defender. He's got talent for sure, but what's undeniable is unlike his teamates, he rarely puts in 100%.
How do you know that he isn't putting in 100%? Danny Ward may chase ten lost causes to Zohores six, doesn't mean that ward is working harder, that side of the game may come easier to ward. It's like anything else, somebody in work may be able to do a task in half the time you do it, doesn't mean that they're working harder, infact, it could be the other way round.
