He does look a poor one footed player with very bad first touch. However I hope we can get something out of him to justify big transfer fee.
Yes I agree both Hogan and Hourihane should play regularly in their preferred positions so that we can maximise our strength.

Until we give that a go we're not going to see how any of them can settle in.I'd be tempted to try getting Jedi to sit and then play Hourihane, Lansbury and Grealish as a 3 in front (sort of like a diamond) with Kodjia and Hogan ahead of them. All three are capable of making a yard and getting crosses in so they can drift in to out to find bits of space and create gaps for each other. We'd need to train them as a unit though and that's where any attacking plans fall down because the training either isn't there or isn't effective.What I can't accept is the idea that the players themselves aren't good enough. Most of the squad we have now are players who've done it this level or better and yet many of them look lost, I just don't see how that isn't the fault of something other than their own abilities.
I've got 100% confidence that Hogan will come good and bang in 20 next season (as long as he's starting)
I have just seen a picture of him on the express and star website, is it me or does he look fat. If so what do our fitness coaches do? Gabby Richards McCormick etc
If he's fat I'm worried.easy photo upload
Watching his YouTube videos and his goals, he is obviously a 'fox in the box' type player. We are going to have to make sure we have a damn sight more action in the 18 yard area, than we are used to, to get the most from him.
