This is beginning to look like a very poor signing.
Not quick, easily moved off the ball, not great in the air,poor touch and looks completely lost.

I'm not saying he's great by any means but I do think he's wasted in our team. He's shown he can score goals in this league and I think he's too intelligent for the players around him. He was playing with a good, creative player like Jota and now he's playing with Gabby and Bacuna who haven't got a brain cell between them.

Almost scored a great goal and a lovely touch for gabby's chance

But I agree he struggles to latch into a lot of balls and I do wonder if it will ever seem the right fit

Luckily we have Kodjia

Should he really look so out of his depth though?
I keep hearing what he did at Branford, maybe he is a one trick pony that can only function in a certain set up.
I do not think that we are going to build that set up around him though.
So you have to ask why the fuck did we spend all that money on him?

In answer to your last question, I have no idea. Bruce knows his style of play is that of a dinosaur and it won't change so I don't know why he thought Hogan would suit it. When we played Brentford away they ripped us apart and you could easily see how Hogan would fit into that side.

No movement hogan - perhaps if he suddenly becomes Roy race over night then we are talking.

Brentford only got Jota back in January so someone else was setting it up for him.

By Christ he's slow.  I'm sure that Steve Bruce did his homework on him that extended to more than just one good half a season with Brentofrd, but he looks poor.

Good first half and almost scored a great goal

Poor second

I thought he was good in the first half but unsurprisingly once we did nothing in the second half he disappeared.

We have no idea how to play any semblance of attacking football -  he was running his heart out, no help from the midfield.
