Mr X Posted 6 October, 2013 Share Posted 6 October, 2013 Definitely got all the attributes to be a great striker for us, just seems to be trying a little too hard at the moment, and choosing the wrong option all the time when he works his way into good positions, its very early days, do you see him forming an understanding with lambert or another option? or is he better on his own upfront?

KelvinsRightGlove Posted 6 October, 2013 Share Posted 6 October, 2013 Seems to work hard, and possess all the attributes to be a very good striker for the club. Slightly slow start, but I see nothing to suggest he can't be very good for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toon Saint Posted 6 October, 2013 Share Posted 6 October, 2013 Some of the interplay b/w the front four was great in the first 25 mins. Osvaldo should have taken that early chance first time, though the ball did bobble up at a difficult height for him. That said, his cross-field ball from the left flank out to Lambert on the right, who should have really played in Lallana for a second, was fantastic. Unfortunate he was subbed off with a knock as he was looking lively. Keep saying it but would really like to see him play in tandem with Ramirez, but with Gaston's fitness issues, it doesn't look like happening anytime soon.

Ramirez on the bench and available if we go behind. I actually hope the knock keeps him out of the national teams games now so he can stay and get some good workouts instead, even if it´s on the bike...

offix Posted 6 October, 2013 Share Posted 6 October, 2013 With NBC now broadcasting every premier league match here in the States I have been able to watch all our games in their entirety. Granted it doesn't give the same perspective as being there, but so far I am not at all impressed with Osvaldo. it seems to me that we spend an enormous amount of money and (so far at least) what we got back we could have gotten from a whole slew of other players for a lot less money.

Tom28 Posted 6 October, 2013 Share Posted 6 October, 2013 Being completely honest, and from someone who really wants him to be amazing, I have to say he hasn't been very good so far. But I think he will be; just needs time. I rate Lambert and Osvaldo equally, and right now if I had to choose between them, then from what I've seen on the pitch this season, I'd pick Lambert. Lambert just gets better and better around the box. Some of his touches and passes in the first half today were complete class. His vision is outstanding.

for_heaven's_Saint Posted 6 October, 2013 Share Posted 6 October, 2013 I'm amazed that people haven't been impressed, though not surprised if you've only seen him on TV. Personally I think he's been decent and will only get better. I don't think he's great at running at players, but is good around the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
washsaint Posted 6 October, 2013 Share Posted 6 October, 2013 unbelievable.......some of you obviously don't watch a game that closely. His touch and skill are fantastic: I am doubting that he and SRL can play together over a longer period of time but Osvaldo is class and still adjusting to the Premier League. As the NBC commentators pointed out, we play deep and expect our forwards to track back to help defensively which has helped enormously in making us so difficult to break down.......the flip side is we don't create many chances right now so the strikers won't look as Hollywood as they might otherwise. He is a CL player, of that there is no doubt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 6 October, 2013 Share Posted 6 October, 2013 His movement and touch is better than any of our other strikers to be honest. He's not done too badly. He's probably had the same sort of impact as Soldado has had at Spurs, and he cost double the amount. Still way too early for him to look the real deal.

Batman Posted 6 October, 2013 Share Posted 6 October, 2013 thought he was good until he got that knock the cross field pass that lambert nodded down for lallana was great, the balls round the corner are excellent. he could have done better with that early chance but he is very good IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Saint Posted 6 October, 2013 Share Posted 6 October, 2013 (edited) Guly had a 100% pass completion rate when he came on. Wasn't knocking him, just saying that I would probably only swap Ramirez for Guly on what was a already a very strong bench.. But then again, I would probably get a decent pass rate if I only played the last two minutes of the game..!

kwsaint Posted 6 October, 2013 Share Posted 6 October, 2013 Were some of these posters actually at the game? Osvaldo is a class player and shows really good commitment to the team. When Lallana scored the whole team went to celebrate. Agree about Ramirez. Don't think that we will be seeing much of him again and he could well be off in January. If we could get a backup to Shaw then that would help a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
