On the Oscar debate, I think most of his goals have been good finishes, the one v Wigan & one v Norwich come to mind as being lucky scuffs, but the rest, from my poor memory, have been about him being in the right place as Strikers should be. Something we’ve not had for a while. Definitely a huge step up from Eaves!
The HDM just three days ago - 'The Tigers boss has kept his cards close to his chest so far, ruling out moves for Hibernian's Ryan Porteous and Palace youngster Jesurun'.
"Hull City boss Liam Rosenior is believed to keen on signing Hibernian defender Ryan Porteous in the January transfer window to ease his side's severe defensive woes". 2 basic errors. 1. Missed the word 'be' out after 'to'. 2. We no longer have 'severe defensive woes'. Severe?! Why the **** write & 'print' that negative bollox (yet again)? We've only conceded 3 goals in our last 5 games.10 in our last 10. 7 in the 9 games Rosenior has been manager. Piss poor from them.
Absolutely, I support any player on the field and would be delighted to see Oscar prove to be a top player for City. I just find it unlikely from what I have seen to date that he will score too many more this year and I think Rosenior will already be lining up an experienced Champ striker. He is giving 100% for the cause and has managed to bundle the ball in the net a few times so I am obviously a fan of his as I was Tom Eaves but it doesnt mean I think Tom Eaves is the man to take us to the right end of the table.
Oscar has a bit of everything, he just has a bit of a habit of ****ing up easy chances. If - when - he keeps his nerve and starts putting those away he’ll be an unstoppable force.
Find it unlikely all you want but he's the leagues 3rd top scorer, great in the air and the he's hit double figures ahead of January. There seems to be this idea floating around that as he's scored a couple of scuffers that he isn't very good but getting in position and scoring those is as much the mark of a good striker as the ones scored with clean contacts as far as I'm concerned. We know the striker coming in also and he's not as you say 'experienced', so I'll respectfully disagree and wonder whay we constantly have to talk players down here at City.
Hmm Ull or Northern Italy close to Venice and the Adriatic coast. I know where I would choose. Unless of course coming from Edinburgh he is a curry and chips sort of guy.
Its amazes me all this criticism of Óscar. The only player we have that consistently can put that round thing in the back of the net. Maybe we should have kept Forss instead?
Not far off there , his ball control is awkward and passing hit and miss , Hes Agree to some extent his ball control and touch in general play is awkward so I’m not sure he would bring others into the game too slickly , but if he gets in rhe 6 yard box as often as he does like Smith did , both will get goals aplenty he’s an old fashioned target man for me .
I don’t think it’s necessarily criticism. More an observation. Oscar should have a few more goals this season but the problem with using that as a criticism is that when you look at poor strikers you rarely criticise them for missing sitters because they’re never in the position to miss them. Eaves/Magennis never missed sitters in the championship because unlike Oscar they didn’t have the anticipation/movement/positioning he does. That’s probably why he’s earning 4x what they did out of us. Oscar is imposing himself on games more than ever right now and that’s purely down to Rosenior for me, we’ve got a top top coach on our hands let’s enjoy him whilst he’s here because he’s destined for the top imo. Oscar is only 26 he can still improve some of his technical deficiencies and then we’ll be laughing.
I think Oscar will get goals for us this season. Won't be far of the 20 mark as long as he stays clear of injury. Mind you i winced when Ros brought smith on and he got two well taken goals. So wtfdik
I think a number of our players touch and short passing is noticeably better especially Doch - more composed
