He don't score and now he defends for the other team, he was such an embarrassment tonight. Seriously sell him, he is utter shit. Judge him when he has a manager who knows how to play to his strengths! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 So not for the first time we'd have been better if he wasn't on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshVilla Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 He said he was aiming for 20 goals this season. Any time your ready Scott. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Every time I watch him live he looks completely luckless and not really very good. I won't blame him for blocking the goal as stuff like that happens when you're not getting luck. What really annoyed me is constantly being told he needs crosses and he'll score 20 a season. We finally hit a good cross in the second half which cut out the Boro defence, he was unmarked 6 yards out and he completely missed his kick. I just don't think it will work out for him here and his minutes will be limited with Kodjia back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Yes, the missed kick was even worse than the goal-line block. You can't miss the ball in the area as a professional footballer, you just can't. Marlon Harewood would have tucked that away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I don't know if it's a whoscored error that will be corrected. But they have him down as attempting 1 pass in 45 minutes of football. 9 touches, 1 pass, 1 miss kick and getting in the way of a clear goal. In all seriousness i think i could have done that.

Dr_Pangloss Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 He looks like he is made out of cement, no touch, no pace, no reactions, this could turn out to be the worst signing we've ever made. I genuinely thought he'd be a good play for us but he doesn't even look league one standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if he can be an impact sub to get us around 10 goals, he would have been a good signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not good enough for his fee, players signed for a fraction of Hogan do that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And i think there's little chance that he gets 10 league goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Yeah, that would be nothing. Gestede would have easily scored that many off the bench. @VillaChris is right, he just looks luckless. Nothing is going to go his way at this club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grobs Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Hogan was more of a threat in the second half than Davis was the whole time he played. Hogan needs to be starting games. He's a confidence player and he will only feel confident if he's trusted. Cant blame him for the blocking of that shot. The flash couldn't have got out the way of that shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a player that relies on space to play in.....He can't get it with us.....everyone of our players gets closed down too easily.....its all too claustrophobic for him.

KSV Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Think people are being very harsh on him. He had speed and is a good finisher. When have we utilised that yet? We rarely put him through on goal or give him clear cut chances.. He also needs a start of games with the same players to build some combinations. Adomah Kodjia and Hogan uptop and stick with it.. plenty of goals there 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
