To be honest, I haven't been impressed with the lad at all. The jury is still out.
Apart from his movement, which has looked decent, he's looked weak and poor on the ball.
His header against Burnley was a decent take, but it was a free header, I'd expect any striker
worth their salt to take that. He did show a bit more effort and aggression after getting annoyed,
but still looked poor on the ball.
What worries me is that every routine lay off to a midfielder is a heart in mouth moment. On Sunday,
he almost set Burnley up with a third when failing to execute a simple pass into midfield.
Hopefully the goal increases his confidence, because given that he's not going to contribute much to
play - he does need to be taking his chances.
I expect TP will him against Swansea in place of Sess, now he knows he can stick his head on the ball.
As much as I hate to admit it, set plays are likely to be our best chance against Swansea. Let's hope
he can show the same aggression again.
