Libor Kozak

[LeeB]

It looks like he's still in the early stages of recovery to me. They're only allowing him to do upper body work going by that and even then, they're not allowing him to put his feet on the floor. It might be his first time back in the gym since the break.

Isn't that picture a couple of weeks old?

Anyway, that extra body work is going to mean he'll come back looking like Ivan Drago, which can only be a good thing.

Working on his speed would give him an edge his play seems to need

No idea, it's the first time I've seen it. Hopefully he's weight-baring by now.

the biggest thing with a broken a leg is confidence, and confidence that you will survive the first proper impact. I've broken my leg twice, first time really badly and it's amazing that your body is able to recover as it does and to the point that it reinforces that area. Once he encounters and makes it through his first full contact training session and game he'll be fine. Other than really severe bone breaks (eg. Eduardo type injuries) damaging ligaments/tendons is much worse and even then medical science has come on leaps and bounds.

I broke my leg in three places once.

Ran it off.

Like a proper man.

I broke my leg in 2 places once , the Doc told me not to go to those places !......Godzvilla!

Thank you Tommy Cooper...

Do you think that the Libor injury has anything to do with baker getting selected ahead of Clark? I font mean as a punishment but because Clark has been affected mentally?

To be honest I heard it first from the great  Rodney Dangerfield at his Club in New York  (

) .  He probably got it from Tommy Cooper  anyway ....................Godzvilla !

What role do people think he'll play next season?

I'm happy enough with him coming in as a starter against the physical teams as he's shown he can chip in with goals.

He however cannot be a replacement for Benteke at any cost. I'd go as so far to say that decision will cost Lambert his job as the football then would be even worse than this year.

Substitute. He's not mobile enough to play any role in a counter attacking side and I can't see a complete overhaul of how we play in 3 months.

[Phil from the upper holte]

I like him, he's from a foreign league, he's got to get used to the prem and he was chipping in with goals!

I like his passion

I'd have him playing Pike out of Dad's Army

Ref: That's a yellow. What's your name?
Lambert : Don't tell him Kojak

I like Libor. He works his nards off and has a good eye for goal. As long as we play to his feet and don't have him chasing hopeful balls into the channel or 20 yards above his head, he'll be alright. I would say his role would be that of a squad option to rotate and cover our main man, whether that's Benteke, or a replacement. Our focal point needs to have pace. Benteke does, Kozak doesn't.

If Libor started 20 odd games next season with a further 10-15 sub appearences in the league, that would be about right. I'd also fancy him to hit double figures in terms of goals too. For me he's a Tommy Johnson. He'll do a good job when he comes in and chip in with his fair share, works hard, but is not quite first choice standard.
