Looked hopeless today.
If he's going to create chances for himself then he needs the ball.

Hogan is a strange one for me in that I don't really get why Bruce wanted him. He's not quick enough to chase things down and score with breaks from the halfway line and he's not big enough or strong enough to hold it up and make chances for people arriving late. If you're going to play as deep as we do then you need strikers that fit 1 of those. It's not like Bruce has has huge success with 'fox in the box' type strikers before, and certainly not playing 1 of them up front on his own.

Their does seem to be a lack of paitence with new players nowadays if they don't hit the ground running.
