(Goal/game ratio wasn't too shabby in championship, but it was the championship!) Would be delighted to be proven wrong though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BackOfTheNet Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 Gnanduillet will be more than an asset this season. When he was on last night any set piece he caused havoc just by being a foot taller than anyone else. That alone isn’t enough, but if we get the right service to him he’ll score plenty.

BackOfTheNet Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 Football is about opinions but any posts stating he’s not good enough for this level - especially any conclusive ones - defy observational logic and should therefore be ignored. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Newton51 Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 Don’t think he is happy as being sub and didn’t really get involved at end as probably doesn’t know what it means to beat Celtic. I wouldn’t write him off yet Quote Link to post Share on other sites

davie1980 Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 Still don't know what to make of the lad. Some obvious qualities but a good few question marks. For now happy with him as the second choice or as an alternative option to bring something a bit different to Boyce. Must admit I wrote him off very early as he looked to lack a bit of fight but I think that was just a bad early impression in his first couple games. Jury very much out though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tartofmidlothian Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 His height looked a real handful and he almost set up Soapy for a goal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I rate him Yeah, with you here… I hope he gets starts as I think him and Boyce could be a good partnership in this league. Actually, I really liked the team that finished the game last night… my only change (if it was to be a starting line up) would be Gino to RWB, Smith/Halkett/Souttar, Kingsley LWB. GMS behind Nando and Boyce. Beni & Haring. Job done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Samuel Camazzola Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 38 minutes ago, complete control said: I don't get the wearing gloves on a glorious night weather wise 😎 I could a bit of footage from a different angle when Souttar scored. Their celebration was right next to the cameraman and I needed to watch the clip again when I saw a big gloved paw reach for Souttar's head. Crazy if it's through choice/superstition and not for a medical reason. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pasquale for King Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 GNADuillet sounds like a cock fight. Gnanduillet will do a decent job for us this season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Uncle Buck Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 He’s clearly a good player. He won’t get you 10-15 goals a season but he will contribute in other ways. I think we could do with another Centre Forward as an injury to him or Boyce leaves us a bit short. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Skacelsid Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 I like him he can affect games, he may struggle for game time though, as a bit of a loose canon and coaches do not like that. Maybe their could be occasions to play 3-5-2 with him and Boyce up front with width coming from wing backs/wingers in the five, we have options. If you have quality any formation can be effective. I do not think he will hang around to be a bit part player. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beave1874 Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 Really felt at the time we needed him on the park and happy with his contribution, could see the Smellies restless when he came on. He will be a very useful player for us this season in my opinion and gen don't get the criticism. All about opinions tho... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DH1986 Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 If he has more to offer it’s probably time we saw it tbh. We are actively looking for another CF and I can understand why…..he has 10 months left on his deal…..I think it’s pretty obvious he was a stop gap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

king.Robbo Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 When he’s walking off to be fair camera is behind him so hard to see but I thought he was giving it a fist pump celebration think he will be handy for us and he will get a chance but it’s up to him to take it. think he’ll be better in a 3-5-2 wae Boyce Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hmfcdaz01 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 I felt he unsettled the Celtic defence without even doing anything which is probably how Souttar found so much space. He’s nailed on to be mocked by the wee team only to score the winner . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BackOfTheNet Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 (edited) Folk not only refusing to see the qualities he has, but claiming he never has shown any quality in his time at the club. All the while a call for a player who scored for Motherwell yesterday who has scored most of his goals in England’s League Two with Stockport and Northampton. This place, honestly. It’s no wonder people conclude there’s other agendas afoot with such ridiculous takes. Edited August 2 by BackOfTheNet Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cruyff Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 (edited) Big Gnando will score goals, he'd win most aerial duals in the box and he's quite accurate when he has the chance to shoot, usually hitting the target but..... I've yet to see either of our Wing Backs stick in a half decent cross. The big man needs better service. Edited August 2 by Cruyff Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He’s nailed on to be mocked by the wee team only to score the winner . I noticed he was right at the back post and expected the ball to go to him to header the ball back across goal. I suspect Celtic did the same and that was why there was so much room In the middle. I suspect he will play apart this season without necessarily being first choice.

Spellczech Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 I don't really care if he is good enough or not - strikers are measured on goals. Very few Stephen Elliott's around who can be rated highly without scoring many Quote Link to post Share on other sites
