Seems an honest self assessment

“I think not me but my family (were affected). Every day my family sends me people saying I am the worst striker, so I say, 'Okay, I am the worst striker', so that is why I do this celebration (mouthing 'me?' when scoring).

“You see the critics, but I like to prove people wrong who have the wrong idea of me. For me, I don’t care, I like it when someone talks about me. I see the criticism and I don’t care.

“I need to adapt to the new league and it is difficult to play against the best defenders in the world. It is more physical here. I am tall, but I am not big (strong), so I need to work on my body to know how to use my body to protect the ball.

“I have learnt in training and I try to prove every week that I can play here and can play in England because it is my dream.

“To improve fast you need to play, so the gaffer has given me a lot of confidence and I try to give back. I try to give more. I train every day to be ready, and I hope to continue like this.”

This reminded me of Oxford in 87. Year before we probably lost the league there with Lineker playing though knackered and we lost 1-0. In 87 we're 1-0 down and the bloke behind me spends the whole game slagging off Wilkinson. Wilkinson equalises in the 88th minute; bloke turns to his mate "Wilko for England heh?"

He got tons of stick for the first part of his life at everton. On here, in the press, on the podcasts. 6 months later and 4 in 5 and everyone has quietened down. It's almost as if young players need time to develop.

I am one of moaners, but, if he does continue to improve his scoring, then I'll shut my gob and praise him

Fair dos to him. Some of the stick he gets is a result of that disease in modern life where everything is binary - either terminally worthless or absolutely fantastic.
He's neither but everyone needs their opinion to be heard for some reason, so there's more currency in saying he's a shit cunt who cost too much and who needs to be binned than "he's average at the moment, still adjusting to the league and in a team that's stuttering and not really set up to his existing strengths, but he might get better". No one wants to hear that. It's boring, even though it's true.

I don't think he'll be playing for one of the glamour clubs anytime soon like, but I would imagine he'll defo improve and become another 1 in 4 type PL striker. A decent back up, or a regular starter for someone lower down the table.

The thing with him is that when he has one of those moments, when looks shit, he does look really shit. He's defo got something about him though, and we can't really complain too much, given his goals of late.

Sure hes scored more than most of the glamour clubs forwards this season.

I know hes 4th behind Haaland, Watkins and Calvert Lewin in terms of goals scored since December.

With this and his backstory, if effort and application was what it was all about then he'd be capable of anything
Unfortunately it isn't what it's all about
Still, plenty of technically limited players have been great goalscorers, so he can continue wiping eyes if they keep going in

The first couple of headers he went for the other night he was about 2 yds away from the ball.
