Alex Moss 2,165 Posted August 21, 2021 Blessed with the beauty of hindsight, but I think Onel would have been quite handy today - strong, fast, and direct, all things that would have helped improve us this afternoon I feel. Sure his end product may not always be perfect, but he certainly does give the opposition something to think about as he proved during his spell of games at the end of the last PL campaign, and can at least get us into the right areas of the pitch with his raw pace and strength. Hope he’s free to come off the bench at least next Saturday, just hoping we’re not planning on loaning or selling him, as he’s an asset. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,651 Posted August 21, 2021 I don’t think Onel is the answer, but it’ll be interesting to see Tzolis sooner rather than later. It’s odd we pushed his transfer through to have him available v Liverpool but he’s not yet made it onto the pitch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capt. Pants 4,222 Posted August 21, 2021 I would like to see Tzolis on the pitch before we see Hernandez. But to give Onel credit he always gives his best and may have pushed them back a bit today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hank shoots Skyler 2,094 Posted August 21, 2021 To be fair aren’t Rashica and Tzolis both upgrades on Hernandez who have pretty similar attributes? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not at all, Chris - I’ve clearly given my reasons why in the opening post. Agree with all re Tzolis, am very much looking forward to seeing him in action - the highlights of him suggest he’s quite a physical player, a start against Bournemouth and putting their poison dwarf Pearson out for the season wouldn’t go amiss ha ha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

king canary 7,599 Posted August 21, 2021 Think he's gone by the end of the window. He's not likely to get game time ahead of Cantwell, Rashica, Sargent, Tzolis and Doweel, hence him not even making the bench. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NeymarSmith 130 Posted August 21, 2021 Big fan of onel, doesn't fit our current system, but works for another one of our systems and i say he's worth his place in the squad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thingy 36 Posted August 21, 2021 I think Onel would do well when Sargent is playing upfront. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
