Libor Kozák (confirmed post #190)

[BoskoDjembaSalifou]

Does he have to score better looking goals to prove you wrong?

I'll happily accept plenty of scruffy ones.

No, he just has to improve his game. I don't care if he scores goals from one yard out or 40 yards out.

Well he did score a goal, and you're still moaning that it wasn't a very good goal.

When did I moan about his goal? I only said a better goalkeeper could've saved it because it was straight at him and Gazzaniga is useless. It was a good run to meet the cross though!

Erm... perhaps when you said this?
"Honestly, that was a shit header from Kozak. A better goalkeeper would've stopped that."

As opposed to:
YEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Get in!!!!!!!!!

I stand by that too.

I did actually have a "YESSSSSSSSSSS" in that post but I deleted it as Osvaldo scored before the post sent.

It took you 5 minutes to type the post? Given that Kozak's goal was timed at 64 minutes and Osvaldo's at 69? You're tying yourself up in knots here aren't you?

It actually did. I went to tell someone the score before writing it.

In the next street ?

[BoskoDjembaSalifou]

It's a little strange how I have to explain why I took five minutes to make a post. Is there some kind of rule I don't know about?

[Toronto Villa]

When everyone tells you you're wrong, or at least verging on making an arse of yourself you might want to accept you're wrong or at least in danger of making an arse of yourself. Holds true for most things in life and acts as an indicator to acknowledge you need accept a change in your perspective.

That's total shit tbh, the keeper did well to get a hand on it at all, yes it was close to him but a header with that much power from that range would need a wonder save to keep it out, you're only saying a better keeper would've saved it to allow you to continue down the 'he is shit' line that you're on, I doubt any keeper in the league would've kept that out and I'd be very surprised if any ex-player, pundit or journalist even suggest otherwise.

This.

Can we stop the mass quotathons please. My eyes are bleeding!

[Deano's Mullet]

I said it before and i'll say it again,  I think Kozak is a good player.

There's definitely a decent player in there, I just think he needs a while to adapt to the pace of the game.

I said to my son before he scored that I liked the cut of his jib. And then had to attempt to explain what I meant by that.

Agreed. I do like  the look of him. 3 goals already is not a bad return and it'll only do his confidence the world of good.

And it wasn't a shit header, he was in the right place at the right time like all decent strikers are.

[lindenlad]

He is still adapting to the PL but I think the man is a warrior. The Man Citeh game was enough to see his potential, he led the line and gave their centre backs a right going over, was out on his feet when taken off. Good knack of picking up goals as well. I'm happy to give him more time.

I think its a case of its hard to type with one hand. Windows 8 on the go, illegal Villa stream on one side of your screen, two blond college girls on the other was it? Hmmm? Marevlous.

[supertom]

He's shown signs of decent movement at times, so we need to give him the service. He had that chance a few games back (can't remember). He hit the post, although it was given off side. But he'd showed clever movement to get into that position. He also had that good chance against the Tescos, a decent volley which skimmed the bar.

If the team uses him better I think he'll be good. I think we've seen that if you get good delivery to him, he'll get you goals.

For me Libors struggles were summed up perfectly yesterday in a moment that someone sent a pass for him to chase down the channel. He got the ball, dribbled with it down the wing for a bit. Not one Villa player got close to support him. The lad has no pace, he's got no place being on the wing, but if you send him chasing something, he will chase it because he works bloody hard. It just perfectly summed up how difficult we make it for him sometimes. Likewise when we hoof it up to him. He's not a striker who'll win lots of aeriel duels with his back to goal. He needs at his feet, not 20 yards above his head or down the channel, into his feet, and he needs good service into the box.  The wing backs delivered the square root of chuff all yesterday.

And that header was good. Good movement initially and enough power on it that the keeper couldn't do handle it. Besides, we should have been testing this keeper far more yesterday. Whipping crosses and set pieces over his head, having cracks from distance. He looked nervy all game. How fantastic the header was is also irrelevant as it went in the back of the net.
