He's not had much service but when he has he's tended to miss, like today when Ayew i think, set him up.

I like Rudy but that shot landed somewhere near Aylesbury

I wonder if they ducked in Aylesbury.

One trick Donkey and not even very good at that trick.

How do you know. It's not like he gets any decent service now is it?

He doesn't need service to be able to control a football. He's as mobile as a glacier.

If his one trick is scoring headed goals, I'd go as far to say he's very good at it.
He needs decent service and we play without wingers, no fault of his.

He can trap it further than I can kick it.

You won't see a many headed goals better than his against Liverpool this season. He's certainly limited but what almighty balls up signing him with all the players signed this summer. We never had width, we never bought width so why Tim did you do it!

the bloke is a donkey.

yes he is okay now and again with his head when running on to the ball but the rest of his game is fucking appalling. for such a big lump the bloke is a pussy

I'd keep him next season for sure. In fact, I'd go as far as saying we should build a team around him i.e. sign players to compliment his strengths and cross a bloody ball.

Yeah we need to be playing with a winger. Keep Rudy. Sign another front man with pace who can run in behind and will score at that level. If you look at Leicester they are brilliantly effective at utilizing Vardy. The amount of times they've set him clear with an early ball in behind is amazing. And they can flip their style if needs be too as they've made good use of Ulloa since the turn of the year, who has become a very effective impact player.

We've not helped Rudy at all because we almost never have anyone playing wide when he's up front. We play so narrow and our fullbacks can't deliver in the absence.

My opinion is the guy has his limitations but we've done him no favours with the service he's received. Playing with no width has killed him.

Of course he's not top quality. But we've hung him out to dry too many times.

A pacy guy around him would help.

Also think he wasn't supposed to be the answer to Benteke, just part of the frontline.

one swallow doesnt make a summer

the bulk of home games he has been shit, immobile, ponderous and for such a big bloke he has the physial presence of an 8 year old girl

having players like him, westwood and bacuna regularly starting leads to one thing

our current league position

Think he needs a move away. And I think he'll get goals. He just needs players around him more. We're rubbish from back to front with no players above the level of average.

Who's in the team that can consistently crosses ball to any forward?

Not in the team...on the bench or the reserves...:(
Traore could. Grealish could. We really have to make good signings. You can be half reasonable as a winger and do very well in the championship. Provided we go about things the right way, Gestede can still score goals for us.
