Thread title is very poor. No two ways about it.

I expect a striker to stick his foot in there, I’d be disappointed not to see my striker do that.
I doubt a tap in from 2 inches into an empty net to steal a goal off Sakamoto is going to change his mind.
His all round performance was excellent.
His cameo today was exactly what you want to see from him. The fact he doesn’t play like that most weeks is why he gets so much stick. He’s clearly capable and we need all our players to be performing at their best during this title fight.
He did well in his 25 minutes.
But the reaction to Wright's performances is becoming bizarre. Hero to zero to hero again in the blink of an eye.
Let's be brutally honest, after starting the season superbly, and finding the net at will, hes actually been very poor for the last 3 months.
Its going to take more than ac25 minute cameo to convince us that hes back to his best.
Lampard basically said himself he's frustrated like us that Haji isn't like that all the time
I thought the lack of celebration was cause he was expecting to be offside or trying to con the ref that it was already in by not celebrating/claiming the goal
I don't think we should diss Haji's goal as just being a two inch tap in. I've watched it multiple times and I'm still not sure whether Sakamota's shot was going in or not.
Haji positioning and timing was superb, enabling him to be in the right position without being offside. He would have got a lot of stick from some on here if he had left it.

I don’t think it was going in either.
A tap in is the ideal goal for a striker, being in the right position is a skill in itself that a lot of people overlook.
I agree, it’s not clear Sakamoto’s shot goes in so why wouldn’t you want a striker to make sure?
You shut the fuck you sausage, if it wasn’t for me we wouldn’t have triangle corner flags.
If he carries on trying like that then brilliant he’s earning his 20k a week.
You look even more of a dickhead
How long you been waiting to say that again? Few weeks?
Really good again tonight. This is the Haji we need for the remaining games.
Would you forgive a lower earner, say a £2k a week lad for not trying?
Or is his wage irrelevant? Or is his wage worth it for two massive game winning goals in 4 days?
All big questions.
Yep, 10 goals in 12/13 starts. Wright 2 in 15. Are you mentally ill?
Worked well tonight though didn't it? Guess it wasn't a straight forward easy decision after all
It was the right decision, clearly.

The bloke has just won us 6 points in the matter of 4 days. Give him a break.
I thought Simms scored in the game before? No? I haven't had a go, by the way.
Always knew id come back to this bollocks thread once his form picked up, and knew I would see people still trying to justify it

Doesn't matter. The fact that Wright played really well and scored the winner, justifies his start ahead of Simms.
How many times over the past couple of seasons have both Simms and Wright had poor/barren spells.... and been relentlessly slated, calls for them to be sold, etc
Fans never learn.
They probably aren't going to cut it should we go up, but at this level they are clearly up to it.
