... I'm concerned about this big fella....he looks absolutely lost on the pitch..a folorn figure out there... someone at BFC....our new individual player coach perhaps...needs to put an arm round him.

I think most strikers would look the same in the same situation.
It’s not an arm round him he needs. It’s players. Plus some service. He had neither.

The man isn’t Messi. He can score and get into the positions which is always promising. He just constantly is surrounded and out numbered on attack so he can’t do f*** all

Ok so. This was a bit harsh and was said whilst on the train heading home after the game having had a few beers. BUT let's be honest has anyone seen anything that makes him look half decent? I'm not even sure what his strengths are, I thought he was going to be a target man a bit like Ivan. Anyway I hope he proves me wrong.

In very small amounts, he has shown some quick feet in tight areas. Think of the cross he put in against Chelsea, even yesterday there were a couple of quick passes in the first half. But I'll admit, minimal at best.

But don't forget, Yoanne was pretty poor on the ball for a long while. Now, with him his skills were clear, a great finisher. With Igor, we simply haven't created enough so far to test that.

I want him to play in a 3 so that if he does touch the ball it'll be on the end of a cross.

Plus, the only forward player who's shown anything at all so far, for me, is Outarra. Had this been Schade's first season, our concerns over him would be the same as Igor.

I had to check the thread title as I thought that you were describing Maupay’s first season.

Abysmal take and the truth juice says it all. Five games into the season….

Maybe talk to the bloke who signed the cheque for 30 mill about if he saw anything that makes him looks half decent.I expect he has more knowledge about these things than you or me.

Sorry but a meaningless goal don’t tick too many boxes for me.
Feel free to revisit this when we finish 17th by virtue of +1 goal difference!

Maybe, but remember that this pen was his first in the PL and a chance to score his first league goal. So, not without pressure…

To be fair he did say he posted it very soon after the game. None of us can say we haven’t let our immediate post match disappoints get the better of us.

Plus, although Igor has had moments, he hasn’t done very much. Now, a lot of that ain’t his fault. But you can’t say what was posted is in any way necessarily wrong
 

Igor Thiago

The Bees lost the spine of the team, the top scorer, the manager and many of the coaching team in the Summer. Do those who panic and start slagging off individuals to create division after five games think they’re actually helping?
 

Igor Thiago

It's obvious there are areas for considerable improvement in his game, winning more 50-50 balls with defenders. Being sharper to anticipate plays & link with his teammates. Yet i've seen enough to suggest he is the right man to lead our attack, he scores goals and works very hard. KA has to work out what system suits him & build from there.

He'll do a job for us. But sadly doesnt have the control and speed of footwork to worry defenders week in week out at this level. No amount of training will change that as you develop those skills very early on. We desperately need another striker who can work better with Schade.

Just had Murray Jones on the phone. :hat:

I believe we'll see a different player if he plays alongside Schade and Ouattara... hopefully this Saturday... he's lonely...he needs company....5 at the back is killing him.

b-b-but we have two attacking wing backs!!!!!
 

Igor Thiago

Thiago is good at attacking crosses, or running onto the ball. See any highlights reels of him and you will see that he finishes well after running onto the ball, or gets goals from crosses.
In order for us to work to his strengths, we need to retain the ball in midfield, and he needs to play in a front three, where we can move the ball out wide.

Basically does well when the ball is passed into space in front of him and not to his feet. A bit like Gary Linekar.

Don’t fault the guy, the football we are playing is f***ing turgid, Haaland would do f*** all in this formation

Yep.....when you compare the fare we serve up for him to the stuff Club Brugge play it's not surprising that he looks a bit lost out there.

It'll swallow up many far better than him.

As was witnessed when he scored at Bmuff in Carabao Cup.
 

Igor Thiago

He needs service and he’s not getting much….be nice if someone actually put a cross near him 👀

saying that I think he’s too weak for his size in holding the ball up and goes down to easily too 🫣

the Jury’s out but I’d like to see more from him and more decent balls for him to get on the end of 😎

He can't be a target man if nobody can hit the bloody target!
He gets sod all service from crosses and is expected to do something from ball hoofed up from the back.

He's a decent header of the ball as we saw from the goal at Sunderland but 'target man' I'm not so sure on the evidence thus far.

He produced an excellent flick on for Schade's opener against Chelski but then other times has struggled to win any aerial ball against centre backs or retain possession with his back to goal, perhaps Ivan can pop over next time he's in town and teach him the dark arts of backing in and drawing free kicks from the opposition as he's struggled to get any decision from any of the array of naff referees we've had this season.

Instinctively I like Thiago, the effort is obvious and I think the goals will be as well but he is still finding his PL feet and he has been feeding off scraps for the most part this season.

Plus a header won for Dango v Villa

Give the lad a chance, doesn't help with our manager picking 8 players that are defensive minded against Fulham.

I agree but it's suggested on here by those that know things that 532 is here to stay, for now at least. If it doesn't result in more positive football and/or points in the next few games, then I can see crowds getting restless. And it can't be much fun for Thiago, barely getting any goalmouth action.
