He’s been edging closer and closer to a goal the last few games and finally got one. Pleased for him. We all know the effort, commitment and the huge presence he brings to our side, but getting a goal is like the cherry on top.

I guess that’s it now for a few seasons, but is it my imagination, has been a bit further forward lately?

Seems to me that he doesn’t sit as deep when Onana plays alongside. Neither of them sits deep proper, as though they were both half covering the space.

Am sure someone could turn that word soup into intelligible football tactics!

The mythical ‘double pivot’ ?

If Bouba leaves now he scored his only league goal in his final game in front of the Holte. I’m not crying you’re crying :(

Yes, good observation, you are probably right this. He’s definitely in and the box a little more.

And Caster, the mythical ‘double pivot’, it’s been ace for us since Onana has been fully fit and playing. I hated it for England under Southgate, but somehow Emery makes it smooth, fluid and dynamic.

Onana and Kamara seem to really compliment each other. I’ve been so impressed with Onana since his injury.

Left-footed, from the edge of the box...what a way to break his duck.

I’d really like him to sign that new contract.

I realise no one has actually left yet, but am feeling a bit tetchy this morning.

The ironic thing was there was a Sky Bet article on their website the other day. They tipped Kamara to score based on him having 2 shots on target against Bournemouth last week and playing alongside Onana giving him license to get forward more. Turned out to be a great call. Unfortunately they also tipped us to win 4-0. Probably should have done but that's been a trait all season that we've rarely been ruthless.

Same. Shades of the late 90s and the late 00s.

At least Deadly Doug and Randy are nowhere near the club so if we have to rebuild at least we have the right structures and expertise in place this time

Dropped the shoulder and placed the ball t'other corner.

Ridiculous finish for a player who'd normally get a nosebleed that far forward.

We ever get an injury crisis uptop and Ezri might be able to moonlight there for a bit n'all. Any forward would be proud of those finishes against PSG and Tottingham.

Wasn't it Footie who was having a go about him a few months ago for not offering a goalscoring threat?

He plays 2 games alongside Onana and has 2 shots on target the first game and scores the second. Would suggest it's more tactics and personnel related.

I think he has about 4-5 shots a season, some have been real close. But without Tielemens he has got forward the last couple of games.
