BackOfTheNet Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 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, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 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.

davie1980 Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Uncle Buck Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skacelsid Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beave1874 Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DH1986 Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 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.

hmfcdaz01 Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 I felt he unsettled the Celtic defence without even doing anything which is probably how Souttar found so much space.

BackOfTheNet Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 (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, 2021 by BackOfTheNet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruyff Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 (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.

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, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
