| News Comment | Is It Time To Use Jay Rodriguez Up Front ? at 14:26:23
I think Nick's definitely on to something here. J Rod had a slow start last season but I seem to remember he picked up quite a few goals under NA when he was played as our main striker, mainly because he had the pace to run the channels and chase down defenders. Then MP came along and, whilst strengthening our defence immeasurably, and improving the overall balance of the team, J Rod's direct strength in attack has been tempered somewhat but moving him to the wings. |

Agree with StSaint. A lot of fans expect players from other leagues to enter the prem and continue on the same kind of form or talent they were spotted for. Unfortunately history shows us this not always the case. Sure, some players do arrive and are very quick to adapt, but some very good foreign players, such as RVP do take at a season at the very least to take to the British style of game. A bit of patience needed I reckon. However, St Nick, you're point is a good one as the question is not som much his ability but where and how to play him. Think I'm with trotsky in that I think he seemed to play well alongside Lallana before he was injured. |
