Re: Javier Hernandez Signs
He was being played on the wing by the last clueless manager. If he's played up top, he'll get goals as long as we give him the ball when he makes runs.

Fairly sure thus far he's scored more goals playing from the left than he has up top.EastleighHammer16 wrote:He was being played on the wing by the last clueless manager. If he's played up top, he'll get goals as long as we give him the ball when he makes runs.

Re: Javier Hernandez Signs
He's been making good runs into the box regardless of where he's been played. Unfortunately, we no longer have a Payet and the supply of quality passes to him are in short supply. Most of his runs are wasted.

My favourite example of this is this picture:Burnley Hammer wrote:He's been making good runs into the box regardless of where he's been played. Unfortunately, we no longer have a Payet and the supply of quality passes to him are in short supply. Most of his runs are wasted.
Antonio is shooting there - through four defenders and about 35 yards out. Look at Chicharito asking for the ball.
Bonus point for spotting Andy Carroll wanting the ball played out wide so it can be crossed to him at the back post.

Re: Javier Hernandez Signs
I agree, its the same for Carroll as well though my argument with him is that he seems to play anywhere but inside the box so it doesn't matter how good the delivery is for him.Burnley Hammer wrote:He's been making good runs into the box regardless of where he's been played.

Antonio, Ayew, Arnautovic and Masuaku who have all played out wide have at least one thing in common.... they cannot cross a ball!

Re: Javier Hernandez Signs
I'd like to see Hernandez up top with Ayew and Arnautovic on the wings at some point, because that's the top 3 most likely to pass through a defense instead of just lumping in hopeless crosses. The best clubs have realized that just heaving crosses into the box is a really inefficient way to try and score, with those 3 we have players who can do more than loft it in and hope.The Gibbins wrote: I agree, its the same for Carroll as well though my argument with him is that he seems to play anywhere but inside the box so it doesn't matter how good the delivery is for him.

Re: Javier Hernandez Signs
The fact that I have had to go back 4 pages to find his thread probably answers this question, but, anyway...
...Was this bloke ever going to make a success of it here? In other words, is there a way of setting up our team that offers to him a chance of getting amongst the chances and the goals?
I note that he barely played under Moyes at Old Trafford.
I am wondering whether he's a striking luxury that the rest of the team/squad cannot incorporate, as much as I'd love to be proved wrong.

Re: Javier Hernandez Signs
With his record he should be banging in goals like nobody's business. His brace at Southampton earlier in the season were his hallmark, typical Hernandez goals, but aside from that effort against Spuds I think, that crashed against the underside of the crossbar, he hasn't even come close to even getting into goal scoring positions. He can still do it and should be doing it and will do it with the right service from midfield and with a partner up front. Still think the best we can provide for him is Sakho, and I should like to see that pairing given a go

Re: Javier Hernandez Signs
You saw glimpses of it against Stoke
Hernandez working with better passers such as Lanzini, Noble and an inform Arnautovic for example he will blossom, even Carroll if on form provides the hold up play to release him.
Hernandez has so far been playing in large when we have been poor as a team, even last night he finally gets a chance and it’s with a patched up team that can’t pass.
He is a quality striker but needs quality passers

Re: Javier Hernandez Signs
Top goalscorer with 4 PL goals (in a very underachieving team), was injured when Moyes took over and Arnie and Antonio have done well so far. I wouldn't write him off just yet. Still a believer that with our more balanced team and solid at the back he has lots to offer. I personally believe with Arnies power, speed and skill, Lanzni / Masuaku / Noble getting the ball going and Chicharitos movement we will see him bag many a goal more. Look at the Stoke game for example, he got himself in 3 or 4 great positions, the Arsenal game too (he should have won the game for us). He has had better opportunities than anyone else in the team since returning from injury than everyone (bar arnie maybe) because he knows what runs to make. I think over the next 3 games we will see him add to his tally.

Re: Javier Hernandez Signs
Hernandez is quality and if we ultimately want to start soaring up the table, we need to start making it work with him now. Thus far, I think it's been a bit of both he being underwhelming, and the team-mates around him.

Even against Arsenal at home, he was on the pitch for 10 minutes? Two bits of great movement from him (one he unfortunately slipped). The 2nd he got in behind an Arsenal defender and was on the end of a great pass from Noble. Very unlucky he hit the underside of the bar.
He was offered nothing at all last night. Bullied by 2 Arsenal defenders without a decent pass in sight.

Re: Javier Hernandez Signs
Hernandez needs decent service, it’s that simple.
If he plays in a team that is on the front foot with both Lanzini and Arnoutovic around him I’m sure he’ll score goals.
So far this season he’s played in argueably the worst team in the league, then got injured and is now only just coming back in to a team that now seems to have some confidence in being able to get on the front foot.

Re: Javier Hernandez Signs
Well the two are completely linked aren't they. If he gets the service he will thrive. He's throwing his arms around because he is frustrated at not being able to. If he was standing around for 90 minutes not looking interested then fair enough, but he clearly is someone who enjoys doing what he does best and our set up last night was never going to allow him to do that.Cottee wrote:Service or not, constantly standing around throwing his arms in the air like a stroppy kid on the school field isn't going to help.

Re: Javier Hernandez Signs
He certainly didn't seem interested at all last night. He can't be immune to criticism just because of the players around him.il_martello_di_genovesi wrote: Well the two are completely linked aren't they. If he gets the service he will thrive.
