f***ing wrap him in cling film.

He cannot get injured.

He'd suffocate

 

[ABEEE]

He'd suffocate

Then don’t wrap him too tightly !!!!

Why? we have enough quality in the squad to offset Igor missing

Let's hope he stays fit though, he will get loads of goals

Because from what I’ve seen from pre season MPH is the backup.

You know that's not true

Stop saying that , it’s not true ffs

because then we either have schade up top, who I love but through the middle is not his best position, or dango where we don’t have a natural right winger then.

That's crazy.

If Igor is injured, Keith will play Dango or Kev central, maybe both. It's bonkers to think we are gonna play MPH through the middle.

Kev played up front against Muff with Thiago on the bench, no sign of MPH

Pre season maybe but we have Dango and I assume Nelson now

 

[taxi driver]

If we played 5-3-2 with Kev & Dango up top, I wouldn't be unhappy

We don't have to play a front 3 and we didn't at Muff

 

[Garybaldbee]

What, not the chap who scored a hattrick against Forest last season from a central striking position? The one who would now be able to move across to the centre if necessary because of Nelson's arrival.

[Les Beeavinu]

But but - he doesn't win anything .....

 

[A Real Mysteron]

But but - he doesn't win anything .....

Exactly this.
I’ve been told for weeks by the football geniuses on here that he hasn’t won a single ball in the air.

I don’t know who to believe anymore.

Next thing people will be telling me Wissa has gone.

 

[brentfordfc4ever]

Have a watch of that header against Sunderland! You won't see one better this season.

 

[damsgard.szn]

funny thing is I reckon we signed Dango based on the fact that Igor wins his headers. We have a massive striker that will flick headers on and two speed demons to latch onto it. You can see now the personnel we have signed.

 

[detours]

Thiago took 11 pens for Brugge and scored 9.

Ooof... Ivan Toney will be turning in his... err... luxury penthouse suite four poster bed

 

[Wooburn Bee]

We don't have to play a front 3 and we didn't at Muff

As a Beardsley like No 10 Carvalho would flourish. Will get another chance in that role I anticipate against VILLA in the Cup

The goal ? Imo he headed it down a bit far out and it nearly went over .

I'm pleased for him but if I was to over analyse his goals one was a bad pen, second was a bobbled shot and then the header!

Blimey, really!!! Scored, but nearly missed. Give the guy a break FFS

You're a bundle of laughs aren't you? Please tell me you're not a motivational speaker or counsellor.

 

[W5BeesFan]

Did anyone see the turn of pace Thiago had chasing the ball down and the Villa opponant as it was rolling towards touch? Some genuine pace. I think we may see him latching on to Schade flick ons also. (Schade who with a run rarely loses an aerial dual). We have to see Thiago as more than just a battering ram and hold up player. There's more to come for sure.

Please explain how someone nearly misses a penalty or a ball nearly goes over the bar? Genuinely I don't understand what you're saying. You either miss or you don't. There is no nearly. It's either 100% a goal or it's 100% not a goal. There can't be a 99%, 50% or 33% goal.

By this logic, an unsaveable shot into the top corner nearly misses.

It’s like when commentators go “ooh, he just about saved that” when the keeper did in fact save the shot and a goal was not scored.

Exactly. Tony Yeboah's famous goal for Leeds against Liverpool even, where it slammed against the bar first. That was 100% a goal. And one of the best goals ever scored in the Premier League. Are you taking that away from him or suggesting it nearly missed @hanworthbee ?

 

[JANORAK]

I’m confused. This was the guy we bought to score the scruffy, centre forward‘s goals. Popping up to score. when he wasn’t helping to create the beautiful goals for Bryan, and our no.11. At the moment, he’s doing the job successfully.
I’m not sure what’s different now, other than the personnel have changed. I suppose we could have had the centre forward that scores beautiful goals, if we’d paid 4x as much.
As with many of our ‘projects’, we hope to turn him into the latter. He’s off to a good, albeit delayed by a season, start.

I agree that the penalty didn't fill me with much confidence -- it went in, which is the main thing -- but the other goals? It seems you're basing their value on how visually pleasing they were?

Yes he bobbled the shot, but with the keeper having to readjust to the cross he didn't need to hit it cleanly, he just needed to get it on target to that side of the goal. And the header was on target and downwards -- that's literally the first thing they teach you to do with that sort of header. Both executed perfectly. Well, not perfectly(!) but not every finish needs to be aesthetically on point.

If there's something to pick apart, it's when fowards (Schade, Outtara) have a one on one saved and get a lucky rebound which they tap in. That identifies something they need to work on. But it seldom gets critiqued.

Also his wife is nearly pregnant…

 

[w6bee]

I think that was his best game so far, probably surpassed his performance against Newcastle last year. Good interchanges and competing for the ball.

 

[wanderer paul]

Shame it may be a hammy twinge?!

 

[beeeehive]

He was good and still learning the league, when he went off we were noticeably weaker.

 

[Hampshire Bee 2018]

Brilliant tonight. Silly yellow card early on though.

 

[hanworthbee]

Shame it may be a hammy twinge?!

Yes looked like he was holding it after he misplaced that pass. Seemed to run ok after but then went off...

 

[filmyfan]

Shame it may be a hammy twinge?!

Think he was cramping

 

[80s Bee]

Agree a big improvement on recent games. He looked much stronger in his duels. Still early days for him but when he is fully accustomed to the league he will be a real handful.

 

[BFC1997]

Some really great moments, he’s getting there physically. His occupation of defenders creates so much opportunity for Schade and/or Outarra

 

[kingwood bee]

Worked he’s socks off, a proper no 9

 

[To Bee Someone]

Lots of hard work tonight. Put their backline under a lot of pressure. Seems to want to play both ways, either holding up or running in behind

 

[alexinho]

The Chelsea backline were not enjoying playing against him one bit tonight. Really liked watching him, there's definitely something there and he is getting better every game.

 

[sussexb]

Still some rough edges but thought he did well tonight. Created some good chances and put in a hell of a shift.

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Selfless performance tonight, played much deeper and man marked Caicedo. Did his job.

 

[guilly]

He is also getting better in the link up plays, mostly with his feet or body. Still not a physical dominant striker, but getting there

 

[Banana]

What did he do before Caidedo came on?

I really not seeing a lot here. Can't hold up a ball (once in 90 mins from my observation).

What does he do that's so great please? (Not asking you but the wider audience of course). I'm just not seeing it tbh.

 

[andyrew]

Belgian League to Premier League, then a year out injured. Tough ask for him to be the real deal just yet, but he looks to be progressing nicely.

One sublime touch, at full stretch, on to Kevin and a chance. Might not be winning duels outright, but competing every time and the ball’s not coming straight back at us. Linking and lasting better.

Caicedo started the game.

I think that early yellow card took the sting out of him for the rest of the game to be honest, as he’d started off clearly pumped up for the occasion.

There’s a lot more to come with Igor and whilst not perfect currently, there’s a lot to like still.
