Hugill's the obvious comparison to Ikpeazu, he does his fair share of wrestling with defenders, but his main aim is to win the ball, control it and bring others into play. Ikpeazu when he came on was backing into defenders to the detriment of actually getting the ball, controlling it and bringing others into the game. His main aim was to win free kicks and the ref quickly saw what he was doing
Taking audacious shots from outside the box when there's far better options on is not part and parcel of a striker's game, it's part and parcel of a poor striker's game.
To be fair to him he had a defender's arms wrapped around him most of the time he was on the pitch.
By the responses, it looks like the op is alone in his opinion.
Don't worry what others, myself included, think of him. I'm genuinely glad you enjoy watching him and appreciate him. There was a striker a few seasons ago, in L2 and I can't remember the club or his name. He looked like a pitch invader in a club top, he was about 5 stone overweight, would build up a head of steam, and charge towards the goal. I swear, the only thing he wasn't doing was carrying the ball. Always got the biggest cheer whenever he came on. People loved him.
