roonst83 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Cissokho getting down the wing and whipping in crosses will be a lot more effective with this chap on the end of them. Exactly what's in my thoughts. He may not be the most mobile but he has shown he can get on the end of a cross. So with Cissokho showing that he can get down the line and whip in some decent balls I hope we do more of this when Libor is back...and maybe get Hutton to do the same occasionally.

sexbelowsound Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I truly believe he will become a bit of a cult hero for us. Yeah I can see that but they aren't always for the right reasons. Makoun was a bit of a cult hero when he joined. You don't really say too many positive things do you? What? Have you got me confused with someone else? I've been defending gabby and bent, i've defended lambert and the performance and result yesterday and have commented on how well cissokho, hutton, delph and westwood have played. I've enjoyed the start we've made and i'm feeling a lot more optimistic about this season. What have I said that's so negative? Must just be getting the wrong vibe.

So far he hasnt had any crosses provided for him but knowing the genius that is PL once kozak is back he will tell them to play balls in behind for him to run on to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 He looked a little bit slow last season, but hopefully he can use his strength to outmuscle opposition defenders to the crosses that will be coming his way. I liked him. Not spectacular, but seemed tidy on the ball, strong, and knew where the net was! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomaspg Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 he might have been a bit slow, but atleast he scored goals which is what we really need at the moment. when libor and benteke is back feels like the start of the season for me, thats when we see what our team actually can do. for now we just have to limp on and try to get as many points as possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 (edited) Kozak is a good player, always liked him Edited August 25, 2014 by villalad21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunnski Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 He isn't the all round modern day striker like Benteke is but of what I've seen from him he has great strengths to his game. He got in great positions last season and scored really important goals, I reckon he would of easily got over 10 goals last season despite coming off the bench a lot. He has something that the likes of Gabby and Weimann don't....a brain!! Some of his flicks and hold up play were class last year. Hurry back big Libor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vandaq Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 So...Kozak and benteke are expected around next month or so right? At least Libor I hope. We need someone there.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PompeyVillan Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 We were horrible last season and he came in and scored a few goals when we were really struggling. Given that we can only really get better from there, I expect him to be a decent player to have around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyBM Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 he was just finding his feet last season as well (naff term i know) gutted for him, the sooner hes back the better, its only him and tekkers were we potentially have goals from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted August 25, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted August 25, 2014 I don't rate this player at all. Would you like to expand on this statement? His 4 goals in 9 starts in tough circumstances while settling into a new country just aren't good enough! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 (edited) A very large % of the goals he scored for Brescia, Lazio & the Czech republic are headers from crosses after he made clever runs into and in the box. With the right supply he will do the same for us, I think Cissokho to Kozak will generate a fair number of goals. Hopefully we can add a creative wingplayer who can cross the ball to replace Gabby & Andi. Even thou he's tall imo he's not gonna work as a traditional targetman, and should not be used as one Edited August 25, 2014 by sne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SikhInTrinity Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I noticed that when he is attacking the ball facing the goal he's lethal. He's not that bad with his back to goal but needs clever players behind him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even thou he's tall imo he's not gonna work as a traditional targetman, and should not be used as one Yeah agree with this wholeheartedly. I think we just got tempted to hoof to him last year because he's tall, but he's good with the ball at his feet and good in the air when in the box (or when aiming headers at goal rather than flicking them on) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Strange how he's good at attacking a ball in the box but useless at winning a ball to flick on. He will chip in and help us when he's back, he's not good enough to start every game at this level but he's a very useful addition to the squad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 (edited) I really like Kozak. It was obvious he was still getting used to the speed of the league, yet he still managed to score four goals in nine. Shane Long, who is more experienced in the league, scored 4 in 11 for Hull last season has just been sold to Southampton for 12m, I think this shows the potential of Kozak. He works hard, gets into good positions, finds good positioning in the box (something Gabby rarely does, and he has been in the first team for nearly 10 years), and will continue to improve. I like him. Edited August 25, 2014 by dodgyknees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Technically its 4 in 12 games. I agree he's got potential to score important goals for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PompeyVillan Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Currently if Benteke gets injured we have nobody with his physical presence up front. Kozak gives us that presence and has showed that he can score goals as well. I would much rather Kozak our number 2 up front than Agbonlahor.
