I am reminded of Cameron Jerome. Worked his socks off, put a shift in and played great! Only scored 2-3 goals that season. We have Eduard a goal scorer he won't do the Cameron Jerome work but will score.

You won't get a player who does the work and scores lots at palace it's one of the other. Unless we play in the championship.....

A composed finish from Edouard today, a player who can score with both feet.

He does appear to be two-footed, takes penalties with his right foot but will shoot and cross with his left foot and is willing to use it.

A composed finish??? Scuffed his shot and nearly missed. He has indeed scored a few goals for us this season, does very little else though. Mateta just embarrassing. Would rather see Mathurin or Ola-Adebomi being given a 20 minute run out. Could do no worse than Mateta, but will never happen under the Hodgesaurus.

You’re a funny bloke Willo Even he looked surprised it went in

I agree with Willo. Although Edouard was gifted possession he still had a defender in front of him and worked the shot well. Maybe not the most powerful of connections but it was all about the placing.

After his goal he started to do some of the things that I think have been missing from his game. He competed with physicality and linked play well at times.

Old, Ungifted and White

Edouard isn't terrible, and he proves (every other week at the min) that he can score. He often wants too long on the ball and doesn't get a shot away, but when he does, they often go in.

I think the issue with him is that we are NOT performing at a level where we can do without 1 player working their socks off.

He doesn't put himself about, or run the channels, and only really comes alive when he has the ball at his feet facing goal.

For me, our next foray into the striker market needs to be a worker. Less emphasis on the goal scoring, because I feel that with a more combative front man, we'd have more goals spread across the team.
