He really isn’t had a spell of a few games last year the rest of the time he is pointless.

I disagree on EMC, he's far from one of our biggest problems. I do like Wright on the left though, but i fear Lampard doesn't, which is one thing i'd disagree with him massively on.
I’m with you on this - he very rarely beats his man - after 47 laborious step-overs, he typically turns back inside, lays it off, and then we play it back to Kitching. Sigh.EMC does nothing he finally took his man on in the second half beat him him and then switched off again, hopelessly one footed, he just wants to show how he can hold off the full back and never take him on he’s a passenger
If this is reflecting his game on Saturday it’s probably worth mentioning he started with a knockEMC does nothing he finally took his man on in the second half beat him him and then switched off again, hopelessly one footed, he just wants to show how he can hold off the full back and never take him on he’s a passenger
I thought that he looked like he had lost a lot of bulk but it doesn’t seem to have made any difference.I’m with you on this - he very rarely beats his man - after 47 laborious step-overs, he typically turns back inside, lays it off, and then we play it back to Kitching. Sigh.
To be fair, if / when he does get past his man, or has some space, he can stand up a great ball to the back post.
Personally, I think he’s a bit too ‘heavy’ to be an effective winger - he’s obviously muscular which doesn’t really lend itself to that position, so he always looks heavy legged.
He must had a knock since he has been here and had a little recovery for a few weeks.If this is reflecting his game on Saturday it’s probably worth mentioning he started with a knock
Why are we starting him with a knock in the first game of the season. Crazy.If this is reflecting his game on Saturday it’s probably worth mentioning he started with a knock
You don't let him get in the box with the ball at his feet! That's why every team tries to pin him tight to the line and give him no room, if we could get someone to give him options to pass it into the box he wouldn't turn back like he does.I’m with you on this - he very rarely beats his man - after 47 laborious step-overs, he typically turns back inside, lays it off, and then we play it back to Kitching.

I like EMC, but agree he has always looked a bit heavy. Pre-season looked like he had slimmed down a bit.I thought that he looked like he had lost a lot of bulk but it doesn’t seem to have made any difference.
Is it more than the legendary Conor Chaplin thread?What's the longest thread on here?
This must be pushing up there now.
EMC is far better than Asante.I would love for EMC and Asante to become really good players for us but I don’t ever see that happening.
Just poor recruitment in my opinionWhy are we starting him with a knock in the first game of the season. Crazy.
He has never played consistently through the middle for us, uninjured. We havent seen enough of it to judge. The game we did see he scored a hattrick and throughout his career scored goals there.If we sign someone who's effective in the middle of that front 3, there's every chance they won't play second fiddle to Wright. Can we stop pretending he's great in that central position too? He's better than the others there but that's not saying much.
He wasn't fully fit on Saturday which probably affected how he played.For the money we paid for EMC, it’d be nice if he actually took on his man more than 1-2 times a game. He looked very leggy and heavy Saturday.
He really needs to be more positive, far too negative in his general play. Whether that’s management or him who knows. He’s played like that majority of his time here.
all this talk about lack of strikers but EMC doing 3 yard passes backwards virtually everytime he gets the ball is a big factor we hardly create anything.

Ok but that's what people do on forums.He has never played consistently through the middle for us, uninjured. We havent seen enough of it to judge. The game we did see he scored a hattrick and throughout his career scored goals there.
Lampard has definitely stated he will play through the middle and see’s him as a CF, all forum chat about being “more effective on the left” is pointless
Not buying a subscription but seems obvious. Hopefully club have something lined up
Need us to get one so i can win another forum argument with those that thought our strike force was good enough.Not buying a subscription but seems obvious. Hopefully club have something lined up
The evidence all points to FL wanting rid of Simms and Bassette. Concerns me that he keeps starting with BTA, probably just based on work rate.Need us to get one so i can win another forum argument with those that thought our strike force was good enough.
Already 1 up on those that thought we'd go into the season with Ben Wilson in goal.
Forum points at stake here.
I'd agree with him too. Wishful thinking to bin off all that in 1 window though.The evidence all points to FL wanting rid of Simms and Bassette. Concerns me that he keeps starting with BTA, probably just based on work rate.
Think if he could bin off all 3 he would.
Ok but that's what people do on forums.
Throughout his career is also a stretch, he only starting scoring regularly in Turkey and before that a brief spell in Denmark. Did he play in a front 3 or a 2?
I'm a big fan of Haji, i think he's one of our better players but he's untouchable with some on here and it’s weird, he often looks completely ineffective down the middle.
I genuinely think if we get a competent centre forward in, Wright is far from the nailed on starter that a lot in here seem to think he is right now.His goal record buys him respect from me but you’re basically giving up one position to get it and it’s rather than a LW than ST TBH
I'm not sure you're right about him being one footed. He gets plenty of left footed crosses in!EMC does nothing he finally took his man on in the second half beat him him and then switched off again, hopelessly one footed, he just wants to show how he can hold off the full back and never take him on he’s a passenger
