My point is that if the ball lands at his feet he usually puts them away but he does very little to make them land at his feet with his positioning etc.

Well, you certainly will - you made up your mind he wasn't ready months ago, if not longer.................
"He puts away chances" - yes, that is the point. He's that sort of striker, he puts away chances - that's his job. That's all Greaves did, or Linaker, or Fowler, Rush, Wright, Shearer, etc, etc.
There are other players whose job it is to make chances.

I went to that u23 match thread last night where I remember you saying you were unable to login to view the match. But then I saw something even more interesting
So if we send Connolly to Belgium then we can bring Tau in can we?

Except that his feet just happen to be there when they land! I wonder why .........................

Point I was trying to make with my post, was that we have a young striker chomping at the bit, Andone let himself and the club down today. He’s now suspended, time for Connolly to step up to the plate and if it means us cashing in on Andone then so be it !
Andone has got pace scores goals ,we are going to need him this season ,on the starting line up every game for me . Puts himself about but needs to know how far to go with the aggression maybe good its happened early in the season , big 3 points lost .
That's got lost in the thread, but it's a great point. Under Hughton young players had to complete a rigorous set of training sessions with the first team before being considered. We've got players not even in the 18 (Ali J) who were first teamers last season and a new start for the U23s. Andone (and anyone else who screws up) should be looking over their shoulders.
That fact alone makes me wonder if all of Andone's screws are in place.
This.
Disgraceful assault that almost certainly cost his club, the act of a fool.

I'm in the AZ Gull corner. Spelling and typing is not difficult to combine. It matters and I do give a flying f***. That's one of the many reasons I dislike teachers who have allowed correct spelling to be treated as an irrelevance and helped release 'would of' in to the world.

I’m even more confused
He doesn’t do anything to make the ball land at his feet and his positioning isn’t very good.
So what your saying is all of his goals are actual blind luck ?

He’s not very good and he’s bonkers. What is there to like?

Our front 3 is now so interchangeable , one **** up and we have quality in our squad for somebody to come in and take their chance and make a name for themselves, that includes Connolly !
If there was a pecking order for our front three Andone is now below Ali J and Connolly!
Trossard
Gross
Maupay
Murray
Locadia
Connolly
Ali J
Andone
Lots of combinations and lots of competition,

I’ll take a mediocre over slightly more than (let’s not kid ourselves, we’re not talking genius) if latter is always getting sent off. Needs to be on pitch to make a difference and he ain’t doing that suspended. Get rid. Too much of a proven liability for my liking.

Don’t mind players that have an edge, but only if they can be game changer....apart from the amazing goal against Palace he is not one that can change the game enough to warrant the risk of that happening again, feel for him as today was his chance so he was clearly pumped up but he didn’t take his chance so I’d give Connolly a go for the next few games.
Everyone is waxing lyrical about Dan Burn, he is doing well seeing as he has been propelled into the Premier league but can someone teach him the offside rule please, just taught my lads U11 team offside and they seem to have more of an understanding �� Burn switched off for second Soton goal too so as GP keeps saying, we need to keep improving
