Looked a lot sharper and fitter today I thought. Got a goal and defenders won't enjoy their afternoons marking him - a bit of a niggly bastard (which I mean as a compliment.)

The rough treatement he got today I take as a compliment that he was annoying their defenders. Really good to see a striker not afraid to "mix-it", skills and physicality

Looked sharp? Spent most of the match moaning at officials......
I actually thought his movement looked a little sluggish - but maybe that’s just normal for him.
Either way looked a bloody nuisance, and is the sort of player we have missed up front.
Maybe sharper wasn't exactly the best phrase - more involved possibly a better way of putting it? He is not necessarily going to be making lung busting runs and chasing back all game but (if he keeps today's standards) he will be in defenders faces and on their toes and sticking the odd elbow into their ribs too.

I don't see that as a bad thing. Plenty of times we've seen that it can be pretty effective as a tactic, and it will annoy other teams' fans no end... which again is often actually a useful tool to have.
Glad he scored, hope it gives him confidence. But for me he gets shoved off the ball to easily, he does not anticipate the play, looks for the none existent foul. He looks like Kanu did at the end of the 2023 season and 2024 season. Surprised how rough first team football is.
Going to be a bit marmite this chap. If you like him then you point to the way he can occupy and aggravate defenders and soften them up for subs to come on and deliver the coup de gras.
If you don't then his lack of pace and showing little ability to create his own chances are major flaws.
I myself am more in the former position with the caveat he needs to be part of a duo with the right partner to be properly effective I think.

Utter filth.
Pictured today but knee looks like it's taped up
We'll get 10 games each out of our lumps (Aneke, Leaburn, Ahadme), don't worry!
