Nketiah?

Many of us said that when we signed him, as JP is almost undroppable. My point was that he has not been given a decent run of games to start and get used to playing with the first XI. I'm not saying he is going to be great, but it's too early to write him off, especially as, unlike Eduoard, he actually puts some effort in.
His attitude is one of his strengths. Certainly better than Edouard’s. On the other hand Edouard scored more league goals last season than Nketiah ever has
 
I know the early miss against Ipswich is fresh in everyone’s mind when he did get a start, but can you say he’s really had the chance to prove it so far? Coming on as sub for a few minutes here and there and not getting a run in the team has ruined many a good striker, they start to snatch at chances and confidence gets low.
I just think looking at him when he did score for Arsenal and the handful of goals he has got for us, given a run in the team he’ll score more than he misses. But as I said that run of games won’t happen all the time we’ve got JP.

That's the nature of being a back-up though... you have to take your chances as they come, and so far Nketiah hasn't. The two biggest chances I can recall were the Brighton and Ipswich ones, and he fluffed both.

He seems to have the reputation of a goalscorer without ever really having proved it in the professional game.
 
The thing with this is that Sarr is a starter and Nketiah is an understudy to Mateta. The club should have thought of this when it overpaid for Nketiah's services. Unless Nketiah is pencilled in to become the main man when Mateta is sold to Man United for £100m...
Don’t be daft JPM won’t go to united… it will be Arsenal 🫣
 
Whilst my patience with Kamada is running out, I'm still inclined to give Nketiah the benefit of the doubt.

He is a quick nippy skilful player. Against Ipswich he wriggled out of some tight situations and kept possession.

Obviously we want goals from him, and, as yet, I haven't given up hope of him being a able to deliver on that front.
 
Whats up with Edouard he can't even make the bench at Leicester?
Something is going on at Leicester. A quick look at their fans site and the gist is this.

"Vardy great player but 38 but hasn't scored since Dec 3? What do Daka and Edouard have to do to get picked."

Eddie is not disliked by Foxes fan they just don't understand with a team not scoring why he has been given a run same with Daka.

Well if they want him cheap to play in the Championship then they are welcome.

Whatever is wrong with Nketiah (confidence or ability in front of goal), he is still better than Edouard who just can’t cut it in the PL.
