His touch is like a drunk Kenny Miller and some of his passing is fucking woeful. He however, always finds himself in some really dangerous places, as though by accident rather than intentionally. He seems almost lazy at times, those times when he has tracked back and is attempting to tackle folk. Its bizarre. I do like his directness when he lays the ball back to the deeper midfield players, then spins and makes a very direct forward run, which tends to take a defender out the game. Edit : I also think that given he only has 30 mins or so to make a contribution, he does rush things a little, which is why he panics a bit with his touch and some of his passing. Would like to see him get a start and actually see how he plays with a full 90 minutes in front of him. If he isnt as fit as Niko, then that really is a worry. Think you summed him up in your second paragraph tbh. I would like to see him progress from today's game, but like you - I think there is a long way to go with him before he can become a regular starter.

The Specky Forum Organiser 64,626 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Was really poor other than the goal, seemed to find himself in some good positions and took his goal well so hopefully with a bit of match sharpness he will improve.

philiprfc 1,799 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 See tbh, even in his current state he's offering more than Miller. Think playing him in behind Morelos could be the future but he definitely needs to lose a bit of rust first. As an aside, good to see a big reaction from Mexican fans on Twitter for his goal, good exposure for the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people on here are wired to the moon. I didn't get my knickers in a twist when we had our sticky start to the season I'm still not getting carried away thinking that this is it and we are on our way . But I'm positive about the potential in the team.a win against they grassing scummy bastards in 2 weeks may start of a really good season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

beararse 6,375 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Watching the game today I felt he got himself into some great positions but the team were a fraction too slow getting the ball to him and by the time they did he was left a bit flat footed having to adjust and/or had men closing him down. Hopefully the goal and more game time, he and the rest of the team will click. Looks promising. Time will tell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillStruthBear 125 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Hope the guy comes good. Today's goal should help him build a bit of confidence. A winner against them in two weeks time certainly wouldn't harm his popularity.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaka 1,673 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Hopefully once he settles and gets more up to speed, he becomes the goalscoring midfielder that we've been lacking recently. Fingers crossed! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems to find space in and around the box with ease, drifting into dangerous positions with no one near him, took his goal really well and could have had another. But on the other hand his first touch and weight of passing at times makes him look like an amateur. So in summary...... Fuck knows. 100% this. Nearly scores with his first touch (header) then looked like towing a caravan when running and passing. Thought his celebration was good to see that it meant so much to him, hopefully he kicks on from here as I think he's had enough time to get up to speed.

Vanoli 4,625 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Desperately need this boy to be a player. We'll be a much better side in a 4231 but it all comes down to him really. Aberdeen and celtic will toy with us if we let them have an extra man in there against Jack and Dorrans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForeverBlue92 309 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 His movement and ideas when trying to pass look good at times, it's just his execution that is letting him down right now. Let's hope it's just lack of playing time as i think there is a player in there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

siddiqi_drinker 14,635 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Seems to have a footballing brain judging by his runs and his positional awareness, took his goal well but to use a boxing analogy, he looks "ring rusty". I really think he will come good and when up to speed will prove a better option than Miller or Nico who should be our two semi-retired subs. For those saying that he is shite, how many players brought in by Pedro have failed so far, I believe both Pena and Hererra will come good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

graeme_4 34,505 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Might get laughed at, but I think he's a bit Lampard like with his timing of his runs.

Boybluesy 3,708 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Pena's definitely lost a lot of weight since he arrived. Doesn't matter how you look at it, he was sub and scored. Miller and Krancjar were woeful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
