I'm more wondering why Rogers, Moreno and Ramsey are wearing long sleeve base layers. It was roasting hot yesterday afternoon when the sun was out.

I think its pretty outstanding from Ollie to score 19 goals and no penalties, add in his assists and he was the complete forward last season. But players like Palmer & Haaland will always score more goals as their teams get a penalty every couple of games, where other teams get denied stone wall penalties. i think we got our fair share of pens, id like to see Ollie take them and improve. I think he had an exceptional season, it will continue to be hard for him to hit 20 goals though if he doesnt improve his penalty taking and step up again.

The_Steve Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 McGinn cheered on Ollie’s goal in Ibiza town. Said it was the strangest feeling but he was so proud of how much it meant for him. How far he’s come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is you could practice hitting penalties all summer and hit 100 in, but on the day take the run up slip and hit it into row Z. This is where I am with Ollie, the penalty he hit in Europa, he slipped and luckily it hit the net. He wouldn't be my 1st choice if I needed a goal from a penalty. His other attributes are outstanding, 19 assists is amazing. His one on one has improved massively. 1st touch is miles better than it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we all understand why he doesnt take penatlies, i just wish he could find ways to improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penalties is something I don't think you can improve by practical alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duke313 Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Is he going to be match fit for Saturday? I heard we might have done a behind closed doors friendly midweek, but doesn't look like that's happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinebro Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Clearly not match fit This was like a pre season game for him 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeroesAndVillans Posted August 17 VT Supporter Share Posted August 17 He'll be fine, just needs to get 100% sharp again and then he'll be back to banging them in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 He still posed a threat at times despite not being match sharp yet. It won’t take him long to get up to speed, I fancy him to score against Arsenal tbh, he does like doing that. Great that we could still get a result without him at his best.
