It's one of those for me, he needs one to go in off his arse and he'll probably go on a run of goals. I doubt he's had more than five chances to have a shot in his time here so far, and the 'management' of him has been horrendous. Hauled off at half time v Burnley when he was playing well, the 'simple option' replacement for Cisse on Saturday which killed our shape completely. New manager asap please.

I also thought Luuk De Jong got nothing from us too.

Did he not score 2 against Palace earlier in the season (may of been a cup) but it didn't exactly start a run of anything?

Only started 1 of the next 6 games after that though.

It doesn't help that both De Jong & Riviere are played as back-to-goal target men here, which neither of them have played anywhere else in their careers.

Or that both have to deal with the Willo hoofball as virtually their only supply.

I usually disapprove spam but in this case I have to ask, highlights of what football?

I mean who wouldn’t want to relive that glorious game...

So that's where we got the idea to try Big Joe up top
