Criticise the poor stuff by all means but credit where it's due as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
philiprfc 1,799 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Worth pointing out too, he won a load of headers the night as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BallochBear 1,613 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 The greatest goalscorer in my lifetime was Coisty, he wasn't the best footballer but he knew where the goal was and how to score so Pena will do nicely for now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSuedeSambas 53,749 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 He's not a great footballer but he has that knack and timing of his runs into the box that's going to see him score a lot of goals this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al 55 9,241 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Lots of poor touches to be fair. Couple of fantastic ones too. One in first half when he setup chance for they fucks i just thought to myself how different the bounce would be on a pitch in Mexico compared to wet soggy pitch in Scotland. Maybe just looking for excuses now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people are dicks, some people arent happy unless they're moaning, others just don't like to see that they might have been wrong. out of all our signings Pena was the one that excited me the most... then I saw him play and thought wtf is going on? but Pedro has stuck by him and it looks to be paying off. good performance from Pena tonight and two excellent goals from very limited opertunities Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Beast 9,182 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 He's got an eye for goal, great reading of the game and brilliant positional awareness. Other parts of his game are not so good. If he did everything well he'd be playing for a big club in la Liga and not in our stagnant backwater. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laudrup1690 1,064 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Looks good sometimes then looks brutal other times.cant complain really since he scored 2 goals which he took well but he will have to start improving his performance for the full 90mins Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
theclothmonster 1,704 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 On one hand he looks way off the pace and has a poor touch, on the other hand he offers us something we've been badly missing by going beyond the striker and attacking the box.

KBOO72 4,358 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 His goals to minute ratio is impressive for a midfield player and if you look at the other opportunities he's had he could and should probably have at least another couple. I don't think I've ever been as confused by a player. He goes from the sublime, his chest control and volleyed pass to Windass before the opening goal, to the ridiculous, a missed touch followed by a dangerous backpass straight to a St J player that sent them on a counter attack. I still don't really know what to make of him but I'm desperate for him to do well. And it was brilliant to see the reception he got when he was subbed tonight.

gsa 3,906 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Looks constantly off balance and disorientated but he's got decent timing in the air, won a couple of good flick-ons tonight. A fairly perplexing footballer, could potentially be a bit of a cult hero or could be the master of disaster. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cushynumber 25,178 Posted October 13, 2017 Author Share Posted October 13, 2017 I really don't get the criticism of this guy. If it was Miller doing what he is doing we would be eulogising him. He can play the game, it's so obvious its frightening. He doesnt play in a typically scottish way, but his movement and intelligence are unreal. Seriously, lets get behind the guy rather than damning with faint praise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
siddiqi_drinker 14,635 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Some amount of tarriers still posting on here. Anyhow, commentators and fans have been saying all season that we have no one attacking the far post when balls are fired across. It is a gamble a player has to be prepared to take, Windass never does it and Miller used to do it before his legs gave up. Pena gambled twice, lost the defender and attacked the rear post -- as a result two goals. Hopefully something he will repeat more often, if he does then I can see him on 20+ goals this season.

mitre_mouldmaster 21,509 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 There was one point where he seemed to miscontrol the ball about 17 times in 2 seconds in the 6 yard box, accidentally back heeling it between two defenders taking them completely out the game, then fucked it. It was the football equivalent of that drunken kungfu shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
duffy2391 574 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Good performance, had its ups and downs but it was mostly effective and his two finishes were excellent. Found space brilliantly and finished well from it and he's already shown he can finish with bodies around him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
