Uche

Re: Uche

3 goals in 108 minutes by my calculations.

A goal every 36 minutes.

Would work out around 120 goals over a season if he played every minute

I don’t understand why he gets a hard time on here, he’s doing what’s asked of him and his attitude is spot on.

Re: Uche

The job of a striker is to score goals, that's what Uche does and he does it well.

Re: Uche

It's a good job Morison is picking the team and not the posters on here. Great 25 minutes from the big guy.

He was bloody awful, apart from his goal (which sounds daft, I know). He scored, which is great but he's absolutely crap at football. If he didn't try to prove how strong he is every time he touched the ball, he'd be a better player. Just hold it up and lay it off.

The whole team were awful Uche came on and won the game. HERO

He's not very good with the ball at his feet, but I thought that he at least tried to play properly tonight, unlike his performance against Blackpool.

Re: Uche

You have laugh at people who are moaning about Uche not holding the ball up and not laying it off to team mates. Not one of our strikers are great at holding the ball up.

Re: Uche

He got the Morison treatment in the post-match interview.

Great goal but didn't hold the ball up as instructed.

Is it too late for Uche to be coached into a better and more rounded player?

If yes he would be an OK - even good (presumably cheapish) - signing in the summer.

If he is just a strong goal poacher who cannot manipulate a football - then NO.

He's a more canny version of LFW with better feet. Great sub.

He's great at positioning himself for a strike. And getting the ball in front of his foot. Not as easy as it looks.

Re: Uche

Another goal by a man brought in to score goals, how dare he!!!

Well-done

But he was criticised for poor decision making when winning and holding up the ball, after scoring goals probably the next most important thing he's been brought in to do.

So you’re laughing at Steve Morison are you because he was doing exactly that after Ikpeazu’s goal.

Hughill is excellent at it for a start,

Re: Uche

The ball appears incidental to what Uche does to be fair. He is fast becoming a legend and it doesn't really matter, as long as he keeps scoring but he does appear unable to control the ball when running with it. It just appears to ricochet back and forth between his legs/feet as he runs which is probably why he seems unable to lay it off to a team mate. Ideal impact sub if you like but if you want cultured football, forget it.

Whatever happens he'll be a legend down here. Maybe not the most skillful but he divides opinions.

Re: Uche

I don't care how he looks, he has got 3 goals in bit part performances. Repeated over the season he'd have easily been our top scorer (not much competition) and so all I see is a black Zlatan.

He causes problems to a tiring defence, he's a handful, he has been scoring. Can't really fault it, doing exactly what he was brought in to do.
