Wesley is the difference between us being in the top half and the bottom half, he really is a passenger it has to be said.
I can imagine if he was Koj or Davis he'd not even get one person thinking they need to defend his pathetic efforts, would he?
If Koj came in and played like that he would get booed every game, Wesley has got off very lightly mainly because we don't have an option. I can't wait until January
I just can't see it myself mate - I like to think I can spot at least *something* in a player but I'm stumped with Weskey.
I don't think 22 is *that* young either tbh and while I of course hope he finds his feet (and the ball for more than a dozen touches per game ...) I'm really not sure what aspect of his game he uses as leverage to make himself more effective.
He's tall - that's about all I've got in the positive attributes right now although he does seem to have at least some idea of when to arrive in the the penalty area/six yard box but most players know when/how to do that so that hardly marks you out as a striker.
He's slow over 5-10 yards, because of his lower leg length, which is critical for a striker in the PL and I don't think he can improve that.
His hold up play can be ok if he ever reaches the ball but 9/10 the centre halves are quicker than him over the 5-10 yards required to get the ball when it's lumped up to him.
If he can find it in himself to be more physical without giving fouls away then perhaps that's the best way for him to be more effective but I just have this lasting impression forming that suggests he's simply not up to either the pace or the physicality of the English game, especially at PL level.
I think he's being given a lot of support from the crowd, so far, particularly since he picked up his work rate but again, this is PL football, effort on its own isn't nearly enough ...
