Coventry Kick off moved for TV

[Marvanelli]

Gyokeres was the reason they beat us in the second leg

Both him and Hamer showed Chuba and Archer up that night.

We might have had 2 of the better goalscorers on the pitch that night, based on the season, but those two showed their class in the biggest game of the season (at the time).

 

[Marvanelli]

He didn't have a shot.

Yes he did.

 

[MichaelDebeve]

Certainly didnt destroy us.

As I said he did what he needed to do for his team. He was quietly effective, and that combined with our strikers going missing was more than enough on the night.

 

[Colgates_shaving_foam]

Destroyed us

Give over.

He didn't have a shot.

Destroyed us so much that neutral commentary were mentioning how quiet he'd been over the tie.

I'm old school.

I do this thing called watching the game rather than just a series of stats.

I'm not sure what his xg was or how far he ran but I know we would have won the game if Cov had had a more average champo forward up there.

Olivier Giroud played in every game for France at the World Cup in 2018. They won that World Cup with a lot of pundits suggesting Giroud was a huge part of that reason...even Deschamps said he was a 'vital cog' in that team.

Giroud didn't have a single shot on target throughout that whole tournament....therefore, based on STATS he must have been shlte.

 

[MichaelDebeve]

He's Swedish, and I'm sure he has represented Sweden - I cant see Deschamps even trying to call him up

Gyokeres was excellent in that second leg, he played the role asked of him to perfection. I think Sporting are getting a good deal even with a sell on clause.

 

[Jonny Ingbar]

We kept him completely quiet 3 matches in a row, not sure that's much of a worry

I think you need to watch their goal again

I'm old school in that I don't think a striker has destroyed us when they haven't personally threatened our goal to a great degree.
I was at the game too, so no need for the snide comment or the weird attempt at a stats argument.

I just don't agree that a striker can destroy somebody without scoring or creating a huge opportunity.
I suppose you can count the goal as he tried to shoot at goal and made a simple pass when that didn't work, but that's not destroying somebody.

Coventry deserved to win on the night, they missed a gilt edge chance just before they took the lead through a stunning strike, we had almost no chances.

In no way were we destroyed by him.

But the tone from yourself and Marvanelli has gotten unpleasant, so I'll bow out.

 

[Caretaker1]

I'm suprised we get a look in. I imagine Leeds will be on every week

I guess one bonus is that Gyökeres should have left by then. I'm sick of seeing him bully us.

Every other week , alternating with Sunderland .
