Rudy Gestede - GONE

[in exile]

He's shit. May be a bit harsh but but he's simply not good enough at this level

Then again, neither are we.

If Gestede is the answer, what's the question?

The thing is, Kozak is actually an intelligent footballer, he creates space and uses it well.

Gabby is brainless, he has absolutely zero nous or intelligence in the way he plays, none at all. Gestede looks similar.

Yet Kozak doesn't get a look in.

Poor mans Jordan Bowery

Sherwood will die on Kozak's cross. (I've had a couple...)

This for me too, cannot understand why he doesn't get a look in

Because by all accounts and reports (mainly from views from here), Kozak hasn't been playing particularly well in the U21 games he's played in and can't be doing much to impress in training either. He might get a place on the bench on Tuesday.

He has one very good attribute and we never play to it, he is in no way, shape or form, a back to goal forward.

Gabby hasn't been playing very well for the first team, but he seems to have no problem getting picked.

We both know that Gabby is untouchable at the moment regardless of how shit he is...you could easily argue that the reason for our problems is that Gabby is actually the best forward option at the club at the moment, which pretty much says it all really.

Which is why selling Benteke and not replacing him with an even vaguely proven striker was idiocy.

[Des Little]

Not a premier league player as long as I've got a hole in my arse. Awful.

[PeterWithesShin]

Not even having Kozak on the bench is very odd. At least give the bloke a chance to show if he's up to it or not.

100% correct.

This might be going against the grain, but I didn't think he was all that bad today. We were pretty much shit from start to finish, but we had about four meaningful chances, and three of them came from long punts downfield, which Gabby didn't really have much of a right to win and bullied their defender off the ball and actually found one of our players to create the chance. I'd say that he is still part of our long-term problem, but he wasn't the main cause of our problems today.

*this doesn't mean that I think that's good enough or that all the other poor performances should be excused
