Obinna Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Looks like he didn't score and his replacement came in and scored like 5 minutes after he subbed off. Time to be concerned or are we still in "start of the season" mode? Less than 90 days to the WC. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only a couple weeks and three games in. I'd give him time. Corazon, Unnamed Trialist and Ivan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen him play, but if he is playing well and doing the right things then the goals will come. Larin is playing well at Brugge but has not scored yet either. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In an ideal world you wanna see guys tearing up their league but we’ve also seen guys have mediocre seasons and during the qualifying perform quite well. Larin and David come to mine, or Laryea not seeing the field and performing Edited August 28, 2022 by EJsens1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InglewoodJack Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 He hasn’t really been playing good though, and he’s been given starting minutes out of the gate and hasn’t done much with them. It’s still super early and he didn’t have a preseason, but so far it doesn’t look good for him. Hope he turns it around soon. dyslexic nam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's started two games so far. They got smoked vs Lyon in one of them, and expectedly so. Troyes isn't exactly a top team in Ligue 1, and he regularly plays as the lone striker. Can't be easy. Let's try to stay positive. What he did for Troyes last season was miraculous.

trc2014 Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 I read this stuff and I honestly wonder what I’m missing. Granted he had a nice goal or two last year, but I feel people lost their minds when he scored a PK as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like JJD and appreciate his video content, but a lot of what he posts on twitter seems to be a little out of left field. I’m an Ugbo fan and not worried yet, but it’s been months since he showed us anything, so if he wants to see the pitch in Qatar let alone as a starter over Larin, he’s gonna need to start scoring goals soon. At least his FotMob rating seems to be inching up every game so far- not by much, but if we’re looking for encouraging signs… trc2014 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But of course, this is 'just for fun' and if it was a real game it'd be Borjan 100%. And Hoilett having MOTM performances in the Championship gets in over Ugbo.

I have my reservations about St. Clair, but if our NT played a regular season's amount of games, that would be correct. But we also know that club performance doesn't always equal NT performance, so we know it's Borjan until the wheels fall off. It's funny, I think Hoilett might be our most underrated player, at least by fans. Of our top guys, he doesn't have the exciting name of Davies or David, and he's much older than our other players in the championship league, and he's technically "passed his prime" since he used to play in the premier league, before our NT was any good, but there's a good argument for him being our third best player, I think. johnyb, sebdeserio, costarg and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frmr Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 He says in the post that it's based on current injuries and form. I don't think it's an actual Qatar starting XI, just a look at who is in the best form at the time of the post. Don't think people need to be up in arms over it.

How does he think Ugbo’s performance is anywhere near best form? In that case, should literally be Akindele starting haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like others here I'd also put in Adekugbe on the left wingback, move Davies up to replace Igbo. Because if the question of "form" for Borjan or Stef is that they are playing regularly on good teams or good leagues, then so is Sam, that is why he'd go in.

Even if we're talking form, Kone has played like 2 full matches of the last 8 for CF Montreal. Seems like he's stating it just because he scored a goal this weekend.

Also agree with Kone. His next tweet talked about how Brym is upping his Qatar chances by getting more minutes in the dutch 2nd div, so I'd take all of that with a bit of a grain of salt.
