Kodjia doesn't do that, so he needs dropping. Hepburn-Murphy would be a much better fit.and a certain Scot Hogan.Pace?He has an effective burst of pace over short distances. Not a lot of use if you pumping long balls up him.On the general question of pace, I remember a TV interview a few years ago with Alan Hutton which suggested that he was the fastest player at the club over 100 yards according to whatever metrics they we were using at the time, and he laughed it off saying "Nah, that's Gabby".

From the highlights I thought he actually looked more involved than at hull Could have had a hat trick but for some poor finishing and a bit of bad luck - and one thing we know he can do is finish so that should come

Still makes me chuckle.
I can forgive lack of form and confidence, however Kodjia’s body language is atrocious. He looks lazy and disinterested much of the time and doesn’t even break into a jog when he could be pressing.
