Libor Kozak

[PeterWithe]

Couple of good goals last night but I must be in the minority as I'm not convinced by Kozak. Obvious sympathy for his injuries but he seems very slow not only in terms of pace, but also slow feet in terms of agility and controlling the ball particularly in tight areas. He also appears to be very clumsy..which isn't necessarily a bad thing as he does fall over a fair bit and could win quite a few penalties! he certainly deserves his chance but I wouldn't be opposed to signing a more dynamic forward option to compliment Ayew.

Same here, I think I might have posted before that we should out him on a diet of Guiness and Balti pies, he's never going to be quick but we can sure make him heavier and stronger. Problem with him being muscled off the ball is that clearances will keep coming straight back at us. If we are going to play with a lone front man with one or two off then I think we need someone else.

He doesn't have to be quick. He's deceptive enough to create goals out of half chances and these goals have earned us points out of very difficult matches that we may have lost (Man City/Norwich). He's never going to be running at defenders, but he knows where the goal is and where the ball is going to be.

[Clark W Griswold]

Id play him, I think he'll score plenty. Just need to get the right partner.

[dekko]

I think he is quality, juuuuuust you wait.

[Ian.]

He's ace and when he scores it's like he's supported Villa all his life.

[ciggiesnbeer]

I think he is quality, juuuuuust you wait.

Totally agree. Intelligent, strong & brave. If he stays fit I think he is going to have a great season.

[silhillvilla]

I think he's shown in his brief spells he is a natural goal scorer. And he never stops working. I hope he gets the chance he has worked hard for.

[Legion]

I think he's great.

He's not the most skilful player in the world, but I love Libor!

Took his two goals last night really well, but could have had a hat-trick v Walsall.

The key to being successful is having different ways of setting the team up in attack.  Kozak doesn't look as though he will ever be a target man that leads the line but going from a 4-2-3-1 to an attacking 4-3-3, he can play that central role.

For too long we have only had a Plan A and substitutions have been like for like, whether the player can play the role or not.

[Phil from the upper holte]

I like him, unlucky not to get at least 3

To be fair his first goal last night was as skilful a goal as I've seen in a long time.

He scores goals. That's his skill.

I haven't seen enough of Kozak to really have a strong opinion either way, but he does seem to get a few goals even when not looking particularly on top form, I think that's a good thing

The two players I'm not convinced about for the coming season are Sinclair and Okore,
I know the latter has a lot of admirers on here and that's fair enough,
 he just looks a mistake waiting to happen for me, although he does follow up any bloopers with some good football but it can be to late by then

Sinclair had never impressed me since he signed, a couple of goals aside, although he is Maradona compared to N'zog

His first was alright too.
