Some people were saying j rod is just a glorified Brett omerod but I think those comparisons are totally unfair I feel j rod has a good level of ability to back up his amazing work rate and if he just improved his shooting he can do us proud he gets into amazing positions and is always closing down and chasing back

Agreed. His finishing needs improving but his dribbling ability is brilliant. He is also brilliant at pressing.

 

Yes particularly good at closing down balls back to the keeper and putting him under pressure

I rod could do with a bit extra training in how to get some more power into his shots but then so could the rest of the squad maybe except rickie

Maybe Rickie could coach him on this along with teaching lallana

Jay Rod is in a completely different league to Ormerod, let's be honest. Light years apart in ability. Can't say I've ever seen the compassion, and if there ever was, the person making the comparison was clearly off their rocker.

 

Not sure we wan't our players to be compassionate…….

I wouldn't underestimate the contribution that Brett Ormerod made during his time (as James Beattie's strike partner), and for all the good work he did with assists etc, I don't ever recall any mention of him as a candidate for an England squad place ?....whilst JB was grossly ignored (by England) at a time when he was on top form.

 

Maybe Jay Rod isn't prime England striker material, but his name has been mentioned by a few media names and seeing him on his current form, he has to be a better bet than Welbeck at present.

 

Rickie came in a DAJF England when we had no other options. He's unlikley to ever be first-choice (except in friendlies), but I fear JayRod may miss his chance because of the other options.

 

However, on current form I would rate him..... at least as good as / better than......Ormerod without meaning to denegrate either player.

I actually thought he mistimed it and was lucky it looped in. But hey, will deffo take it!

 

I don't think he did. At first I thought it was a bit lucky but when you see it from the behind the goal you can clearly see he meant to do a powerful downward header, I think it was a great finish personally.

Indeed it was, text-book header on goal. Didn't have to try to steer it left or right from that position and as he'd got well above the ball with his jump he had all the options available. JRod should start every week and let Lambert and Osvaldo compete for the other front runner's place.
