Branston Pickle 4,169 Posted February 16, 2019 Great stuff - can’t help but think he should be our penalty taker; swapping every time someone misses seems bizarre (and think how many he could’ve had). When you think Sharp takes them for Sheff U, Teemu is all the more impressive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sonyc 6,145 Posted February 16, 2019 It was classic Pukki all game. Intelligent diagonal runs, close control and devastating finishes. His touch from Zimbo for his second even before his chip was a delight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fiery Zac 1,066 Posted February 16, 2019 I fondly remember back to hearing the Farke rap for the first time ’that Pukki look like he might get a few’ I never thought he’d be the first choice striker when there’s Rhodes in the squad, but what a season he’s having. It’s not luck either, he’s scored a range of goals and the movement to create them for himself is top class Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be honest Duke I thought his first goal was one of the best striker's goals I've ever seen. Pace through the middle, magnificent touch, perfect cut in, eyes to the keeper, and the finish. All in the blink of an eye. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Tea 140 Posted February 17, 2019 He is one heck of a finisher. Those goals on MOTD would have the so called pundits frothing at the mouth . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kick it off 2,062 Posted February 17, 2019 (edited) Absolutely love Pukki. I dont think anyone anticipated him turning into quite the player he has. Testament to what Farke is doing at the club, every single player is improving and the system he has imposed on the team is not just a joy to watch but its also an incredibly bold strategy in this league. I cant remember a team playing football the way we do in the Championship and being successful. The recruitment has been eye watering. Leitner, Buendia, Zimmermann, Pukki and Trybull for a total of about 4mill is unreal business. Pukki is quite simply the best pure finisher we've had since Bellamy. He has a lot to his game and brings lots of different attributes to the team. The way he took both goals yesterday was outstanding. When you consider the sums villa spent to get a 20 goal a season striker (Hogan, Kodjia, Fatty McCormack), it shows how tough it is to find someone like Teemu and the fact that we didnt pay a penny for him is astonishing. I actually feel that this team could hold their own in the Prem, and with one or two class additions could really do some damage. Pukki is so clinical that i would back him to return a decent goal haul at that level too. Pukki is definitely right up there as one of my favourite all time canaries. Not just for the goals but the way he plays and what he brings to the team. Edited February 17, 2019 by kick it off 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, even they will acknowledge we have invested in an effective scouting system and it has obviously paid off. Teemu Pukki is in his late 20s, so in his prime. Could be a good few seasons for him and us coming up. Much like a certain Mr Holt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indy 3,499 Posted February 17, 2019 The question is how much of an impact will he make if we do go up, in the premiership? I’m confident if we get promoted we’ll pretty much have all our players for another season unless an absolutely massive bid came in. He’s certainly made a huge impact this season, I’d love to see him top 30 goals this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He has 13 games to get another 7 goals, it has taken him 33 games to get 23, so , if he keeps up the GPG he'll get another 9 or so. TEEEEEEEEMMUUU !!!

He must be rubbish.....😉 He did chest one in against QPR though in our 1-0 win away at QPR. McClaren called it a lucky win for us but it was that particular game that first gave me the inkling that we might after all be something special this season as some of our passing football was excellent. The goal may have been fortunate, but it was certainly no 'lucky' win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
