Player Topic: Wilfried Bony (2015/16)

His finishing is terrible... I mean how many times has he made himself available for a pull back only to daisy cut it down the keepers throat so far this season?

I thought Bony was good apart from the penalty miss. He missed another good chance when De Bruyne's shot was saved, but excellent hold up play.

The goals are flowing now.

Marvin your talking too much sense, ball stuck to him like glue when he held the ball up and offers an aerial threat from crosses. We can talk Bony down but he still manages to score, coming in and out of the side does not help any player. Show me a striker that can sit on the bench and then turn it on at the drop of a hat? Looks like we've got Dzeko mark 2 on our hands, devicive with a lot of blues but manages to snaffle a goal.

8 goals for Bony this season. He may not be everyone's cup of tea but he's chipping away.

Has already doubled Dzeko's tally for the whole of last season.

He's playing under pressure and is probably going to lose his place at Leicester unless we pay 2 up front. He is missing chances he'd bury at Swansea, but nevertheless scoring at a good rate now. If we didn't have Aguero, I think he'd go on get the games, feel more comfortable and be the player we know he can be. But Aguero will come back in and rightly so.

Bony has a challenge to become a better player. It's why he came here. I hope he takes it, and even with Aguero returning he's bound to get games if we stay in the Cups.

Watching him on Sky Match Choice I thought he did much better. He was moving more, putting himself about more and scored the sort of goal that showed these qualities. Two bad misses but even so he did well. Eight goals so far. Maybe the jury is out regarding his long term future but credit where credit is due.

He is getting involved in more aspects of the game but his finishing is not clinical. He will score us goals, and so far his misses have not cost us dearly, IIR, but some of the misses are inexplicable.

The penalty: there seemed to be some disagreement re the taker yesterday. Why do we not have a pecking order before the game begins?

The guy is marmite.

He needed a run of games, and he got it. His header was a better yesterday, and his penalty miss a shocker. However, he is getting the chances, and with Aguero out we need the fella. It must help that he's got Silva, KdB and Sterling doing the business behind him.

It normally is Aguero then Yaya, with them both off I thought Bony was the right choice. He's normally good at penalties in all fairness.

9 goals so far and he will easily get 20+...
