lake district canary 4,540 Posted January 12 Can we put that "doesn't produce" label away now? Basically won us the game. Good play from Fassnacht too to get on the end of it, but it was the right cross at the right time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

S_81 821 Posted January 12 I think if he was ever going to be more consistent it would have happened by now. It remains 1 in 100. But credit for the assist tonight none the less. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good play from Fassnacht too to get on the end of it, but it was the right cross at the right time. Not really. Generally his output is poor. One assist doesn't make him a good player, but played well when he came on. Accepting the fact that Onel is a good player is half the problem Norwich have.

Canary Wundaboy 1,359 Posted January 12 Up to 2 assists for the season now and could have had more but for some poor finishing. Still don’t think he produces enough, but glad to see his output is on the rise as he’s a great asset to the club and it’s nice to have one player who truly loves the club. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pyro Pete 1,907 Posted January 12 Onel is a lovely bloke who always gives his all. But two assists and no goals in the league this season tells its own story. Just for context, Kellen Fisher has two league assists this season, so far. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jaberry2 554 Posted January 12 No room for sentiment for me. Need a squad clean out and for me Onel is one of those players and there's a few. And I'm not taking anything away from him tonight, he played well tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hogesar 9,711 Posted January 12 If he delivered that sort of ball even 25% of the time there'd be little complaint from me. But he doesn't. I do think he's a decent enough impact option though, from the bench. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thirsty Lizard 3,169 Posted January 12 I've been a big critic of his lack of end product, but fair play to him tonight - assist for the goal and did very well in the move that preceded it. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Foxy2600 305 Posted January 12 Nah! I’m not sure what the squad declaration is in EFL but applying the EPL squad of 25 - Onel would be #25 for the next three years for me and always wanted if fit. Argos and his love for this club is everything the other 24 should be about (saving Angus Gunn who is Prem quality) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ian 1,131 Posted January 12 Best of Onel tonight - one of the only players capable of holding the ball up, and also finally delivered quality. Really hoping he has a strong finish to the season, more confidence will surely lead to better decision making in the final third. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I remember him scoring against Man Utd right at the end when we were 3-0 down. Is that really the last time he scored there ? If it is it’s shocking for a forward. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tetteys Jig 830 Posted January 12 I see Onel as more of a defensive winger these days, useful off the bench, strong and can dribble and dig in but technically he’s all over the shop. Showed all his usefulness tonight but still dining out on the credit in the bank he built up long ago during the promotion seasons (and the Covid games tbf to him). If we really are going to regress to the mean of being a mid table champs side then for the right money, we could do a lot worse than keeping him about the place. Don’t think he’s anywhere near good enough to be much use for a promotion chasing side though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Two assists with several key passes that strikers failed to finish during the season. Could he do better? Yes, but that is always the way with sport. I would never write off players just because they are getting older. His fitness is there, his desire is there - and as he showed tonight, the ability to produce is still there. He could do with a goal, but he has that in him. I notice there were threads writing Barnes off tonight too - well he proved he still has something to offer with his second half performance. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thingy 36 Posted January 13 Onel puts good passes into the box. Not his fault others miss. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Six Pack 94 Posted January 13 Due to Wagner picking donkey's like Gibson in the team, we need are our midfield to stay back to protect him and the goal. So basically we operate with just 3 forward players. When we are under pressure, how does Hernandez create goals up there on his own ? He is the best impact player to bring on due to his pace and aggressiveness. Today was just an example of his effectiveness where we had players get up to support him from a breakaway.

Sorry if you don't agree, but no need for wum accusations. That just makes you look a bit silly. 26 games and 2 assists suggests otherwise. Onel is a lovely bloke and Norwich City through and through but that clouds an objective appraisal of him as a footballer. So suggesting we can put to bed the "does not produce" opinion makes you look a bit silly. If at the end of the season Onels assist stats markedly improve then I am happy to admit I am wrong about him. So for me, I still love Onel but he needs to create an awful lot more. And you are definitely a WUM.................. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
