Libor Kozák (confirmed post #190)

A striker who scores goals. What do you want a Heskey who don't !

[BoskoDjembaSalifou]

Before the match:

He's lost the plot. An out of form Benteke is better than Kozak, fuck me.

I'm allowed to think Kozak is useless. I hope he proves me wrong.

During the match:

Honestly, that was a shit header from Kozak. A better goalkeeper would've stopped that.

Shortly after that one:

He had a really bad game today. I don't even think his header was that good, a better goalkeeper would've saved that IMO. Just my opinion.

So, what's your point?

Another thing, is there a quick way to quote multiple posts on this forum?

My point - if it isn't massively clear from those posts - is that you've clearly decided already he's shit, and nothing - not even scoring - is going to put you off that conviction.

"A better goalkeeper would have saved that" indeed.

If Kozak proves me wrong, I'll be thrilled but I can't sit here and pretend he's great when I don't truly feel that.

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

I'll happily accept plenty of scruffy ones.

He is clearly a trier which gets him time in my book. Fact is he has to be there making the run to get the goal. Sling the ball in from out wide at home with him and Tekkers up top and you will win more than you lose, I would bet a lot on it. Might not be pretty, but it would be damned effective.

Kojak and Benteke need Lowton and Bacuna down the right and someone from the left supplying some bullets for them.

Bosko you state you don't like him but he scored more than benteke gabby and weinmann have done in last 2 months .

What do you want to actually do....., ?

I am at loss with you

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

Settling in to the nature of the game over here.  I've not been blown away by him.  However he's not exactly receiving the type of service a six foot plus striker might wish and yet he is scoring goals.  The timing of his run for the header tonight was spot on, Tekkers would have been a yard and a half offside.  I'd much rather have a happy Benteke playing up front but give the man credit for scoring his only chance of the game. Credit too for KEA for a spot on cross.  We won, could we please stop bickering, I WAS cock-a-hoop, cheer up.

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

It's really quite simple, the team don't know how to use him properly just yet.  The odd times that he's been given the ball in the right areas he's worked the keeper or scored, whilst he's still settling in with the club and the league (which generally takes a few months) I'll happily accpet him working hard and scoring important goals.  Hell, if he never improves but he continues to work his balls off and score important goals we'll have very little to complain about.  In my opinion he's proved a good signing so far, he's not on a par with Benteke at his best but then only a handful of strikers in the league are so that's no great shock.

Just get off his back. He moved to a new country and got a scoring record of 1 in 2 in a team not on fire!

I must say he hasn't impressed me much. Taken his goals well, looks like he tries, but I just don't think he is that good. You know when you just don't see it? I'm the same with Tonev.

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!!!!!!!!!

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.
