I don't recall Liverpool supporters being unhappy with the original supersub, David Fairclough. Mind you he did score nearly one goal every three matches coming on as a sub. (Mind you, I don't think there was ever a problem with him playing the full match just that others were preferred starters and he used his pace against knackered defenders at the fag end of the game.)ElfsborgAddick said:
I'd never heard of fans being happy with a player not being able to start a game and play 90 minutes, then Aneke comes along and it's alright to play 1 hour a month for 20k upwards.Billy_Mix said:The notion of Chuks never starting games but having 20 minute cameos being something to be pleased about speaks volumes about how far this club has sunk
Chunks of the crowd are pleased to seem him on the bench because he's more popular than Charlie Kirk and might have an impact - even if it's only one impact before breaking down again - in contrast to Kirk who could turn out for 110 minutes every week and never come close to making and impact
That's not so much "a low bar" as the total absence of expectation
Brings to mind professional misery guts, poet and balladeer: the late great Leonard Cohen. When asked in an interview how he felt about being branded a pessimist he replied "I think those descriptions of me are quite inappropriate to the gravity of the predicament that faces us all."
We have dropped a hell of a long way from beating Arsenal 4-2 at Highbury.1 -
I suspect the five substitute rule will lead to many successful professional players who will never play a full game in their lives. Starters and finishers. Chuks is definitely a finisher.3

Completely agree and if we can find a way to keep him regularly available for playing 20 mins against a tired oppo defence he will once again be a great asset to this club, still looks like a big if thoughstevexreeve said:I suspect the five substitute rule will lead to many successful professional players who will never play a full game in their lives.

Love that interview. The fans getting behind him and him staying fit could be a real catalyst for the club turning a corner. A bit of feel good backing the bloke and he delivers in turn.COYRs3

"You're fit and you know you are"3

Defenders get battered everywhere Chuks goes. Defenders get battered everywhere he goes. Everywhere he goooooeeeeessss!4

Reckon the club scripted all of that based on his social media abuse. Sorry to say but like this administration actions speak louder than words.
Ridiculous signing and it makes my blood boil every time I think about it.3 -

I don’t think anyone hates him.stop_shouting said:Great to see him back. Hope he silences the haters.
They hate the fact we have great player that we can’t keep on the pitch.

Leaburn is without doubt our best striker.JamesSeed said:
He’s our best striker, along with May.Mendonca In Asdas said:
Absolutely this, I think we need to cut the guy some slack, he’s a 4th / 5 th choice striker at best, and needs to be used in that way, great to see him back, but I’m not getting my hopes up.stoneroses19 said:With games being around 100 minutes this season, even Chuks coming on in the 80th minute will be a decent bonus for us.It’s key that fans (I think most of us do), the club, and the player now accept Chuks cannot start games or play an hour plus in a game. Chuks playing 15-20 minute cameos should still add a lot to our season.
Has youth on his side aswell , plus as we all know we will get the most money from selling him.

Good job we paid him off in the summer.27

Makes such a difference, just hasn't found his shooting boots yet.3

Never seen somebody cause such havoc in a half. Madness. Brings such a menace and awareness to the field.

I’d forgotten just how hard he works. Think once he bags one goal he’ll go on a bit of a run8

That first assist is one of the best assists by a Charlton player in recent years, he did about 5 things completely right19

I said it at the time but the little chipped ball was so well executed. He gets it over the defender and gives May enough time to run onto it. Absolutely brilliant.Leuth said:That first assist is one of the best assists by a Charlton player in recent years, he did about 5 things completely right
I'm just so happy for him. I know he had chances to put us ahead today but his finishing will come with time, I think he's just pressing a bit at the moment. But he's an absolute cheat code coming off the bench. He's been through so much and he seems like such a nice guy and I'm really happy for him.12 -
Recommended for a few in this thread and the other Chuks one.

The other point is that he actually looks fit and confident. No scenarios where 'Ah Chuks is down, is he limping' at the moment.2
-
Chuks was limping and grimacing his way back to halfway after assisting the first goal… luckily he was able to run it off but let’s say I’m glad it’s now two weeks until the next league fixture.3

Unplayable when he came on. Oh for a fully fit 90 mins a game Chuks.1
