[Joe!]

You're all eager to hear what I have to say about this, aren't you. I can smell the anticipation.

Absolutely. Although its more likely that you need a shower.

No, it's fine, the smell of anticipation is similar to that of strawberries.

Could almost believe Joe! wrote it.

Far too complimentary at the end.

Funnily enough Joe, no. And that isn't anticipation you smell

 

[fran-MLs little camera]

Far too complimentary at the end.

Was actually going to add that

It's not anticipation you can smell...

 

[- Doing The Lambert Walk]

Well, having watched him last night and on the stream against Bournemouth - here's my analysis...


Pros

+ Extremely strong
+ Dominant in the air
+ Great link-up play
+ Can spot a pass, very aware
+ Team player


Cons

- Snatches at his chances a bit too much (maybe too eager to impress, but it's early days)
- Has a tendency to get frustrated if things aren't coming off for him


Oh and also, I'd like to say - he's more mobile than Lambert. But I wouldn't describe him as quick.

Is he just stuck up top, or does he come deep for the ball and pick it up in midfield like Lambert?

He drops deep. If anything, sometimes yesterday he was too deep.

Blackmore (I think it was) summed it up well. Phenomenal strength, build-up play and awareness - but needs to be more destructive in the penalty area.

 

[S-Clarke]

Cool, cheers. Sounds like all the raw attributes are there, it's just a case of putting them all together.

 

[saintsfcfan]

With good players around him , I think he can grab a fair few goals this season!

 

[fran-MLs little camera]

Needs a batch of early goals...what Osvaldo didn't get.

 

[Joe!]

Let us not forget we will probably sign another striker this window. Who's to say that won't be someone brilliant?

 

[SouthamptonFCroatia]

Needs a batch of early goals...what Osvaldo didn't get.

Yeah, but I should point out that him and Lambert at the same time on the pitch never worked out. It was a failed experiment.

 

[Clem Fandango]

Keoman's getting sacked in the morning, sacked in the morrr neeing.

 

[Jose Fonte baby]

On the highlights, he scuff a shot or two. His build up play seems good and Tadic can get some balls onto his head.

On the highlights, there was a really quick youngster towards the end passing the ball across goal - was it Targett?

Isgrove?
