he clearly knows how to dance through a few defenders. He clearly can strike the ball well when in the box. He has some composure.

Have him press their defenders sure...but dont make him drop into our own half..dont put him on the near post defending corners just because hes big..why not trust the defenders to defender and yknow get our strikers some service to do their bit

is it really rocket science like 90% of this forum thinks? open your eyes
Look we all really want him to do well but this sounds like another striker being excused because of our style of play but this time under a different manager (see Bobby G under a host of different managers)

At some stage the player has to take responsibility and we have to accept that he is or isn’t good enough.
