Yep, I'm a no all nothing.Must be your lack of football knowledge then
(open goal, no idea if you're even for or against him)
The Yakubu of SBT?Yep, I'm a no all nothing.
I'm old insignificant and a waste of space.
Terrible argument , thats to suggest everything is perfect within the setup which its notThought you wouldn’t have the stats.
We’ve won 9 out of 10 with him as the number 9.
no issues in my opinion.
And yet you see simms occupy the near post area while crosses are sent to the back post for the winger running in, and it’s worked quite a few times.I doubt very much we are avoiding ellis simms purposely on crosses
Think the fact people are agreeing with me shows it’s not a bad an argument as you thinkTerrible argument , thats to suggest everything is perfect within the setup which its not
The stattos amongst us would say so because only goals and assists matter to them. However as part of build up play and occupying defenders I'd say he improved, maybe at the detriment of his own goal tally but it has benefited the team as a whole. As someone said earlier, he's been the CF during this entire run. With regards to conceding Lampard seems to be a high risk high reward kind of bloke. We are caught down the flanks a lot but during turnovers we outnumber the opposition. If someone plays round the press we are fucked unless MVE gets his skates on (leeds)Am I imagining this or has Simms's goals and performances dropped off since going to a 4-3-3 formation?
Is he (and any of our CF) better suited to a more 3-5-2 formation.
Also, we've gone back to conceding 2 goals per game again, even against poor opposition.
Just a thought, I'm not suggesting we should change things in the middle of an epic run, but it's something to keep in mind for the future.
Many strikers come across goal towards the centre /near posts , striker 101 its hardly revolutionaryAnd yet you see simms occupy the near post area while crosses are sent to the back post for the winger running in, and it’s worked quite a few times.

Yet we are scoring a large amount of goals from boxcrashers and at the back post. Not revolutionary but it’s working welMany strikers come across goal towards the centre /near posts , striker 101 its hardly revolutionary
This is spot on. It's clear we are attempting to play a different style of play under Lampard. The goal contributions from the midfield and wingers are exactly what you would want from a team. It sometimes leaves our CF's looking isolated, but he is doing the ugly stuff and in most matches, defenders are so worried about him, they are leaving space for our other goal scorers. He is playing his part in an amazing run, 27 points from a possible 30, and sat in a great position, what more could you ask for.Many people don't see this. They just judge a CF on goals. But as lampard loves wingers and late runs from midfielders, Simms is merely a distraction for defenders because, like our fans, they think the cross will be aimed at him
Il tell you what instead of arguing back and forth with you , ive given you stats to show why he was poor yesterday .. now its on you to show me why he was good , goYet we are scoring a large amount of goals from boxcrashers and at the back post. Not revolutionary but it’s working wel
you should also add that Gyokeres had a regular end productThey are the exact opposite. Gyokeres would frighten defenders with his pace and presence. Simms is very timid.
And got many many assists tooyou should also add that Gyokeres had a regular end product
I mean he scored 2 including the winner the other week and you still said he was crap so he currently can’t do any right by youIl tell you what instead of arguing back and forth with you , ive given you stats to show why he was poor yesterday .. now its on you to show me why he was good , go
So you agree, getting the CF to do that, then crossing the ball to the far post Is intentionally missing out the CF ?Many strikers come across goal towards the centre /near posts , striker 101 its hardly revolutionary
Tbf. (Sorry to wade in on someone elses argument) 3 points is the only relevant stat.now its on you to show me why he was good , go
Took a while that thoughyou should also add that Gyokeres had a regular end product

Exactly. He’s arguing like he’s rather simms be on 10 goals at the expense of winsTbf. (Sorry to wade in on someone elses argument) 3 points is the only relevant stat.
You’ve had a mareAgain , yesterday he was poor , you've called me out do please do show me differently.. cheers
PS : he was my MOTM at wednesday
I did like Biamou tbhMany people agree with people on all sorts of things doesn't make it right , half this fanbase thought biamou was Pele.. il take it with a pinch of salt
Well il tell you what , next time we win there should be zero player discussionTbf. (Sorry to wade in on someone elses argument) 3 points is the only relevant stat.
Classic deflection tactics, please explain how he played well yesterday .. goYou’ve had a mare
27 points from 30 with him starting is my key statClassic deflection tactics, please explain how he played well yesterday .. go

I think that's the thing. Evo is probably right in that a lot of CF could do that role but until we start losing its working27 points from 30 with him starting is my key stat

He was on here every week the run up to the playoffs saying Godden was playing great, he only managed 4 in 10.
Simms did his job yesterday. I think football at championship level is a lot more nuanced than Strikers only metric being goals
I guess it's the difference between winning games " in spite" of an inviduals performance and winning "because" of an individuals performance . They're not mutually exclusive in my eyes if we winTeams win games and players have indifferent performances , its weird to suggest otherwise ..
We won at Oxford and had several players not playing particularly well
