Jimenez

[Slaphead in Qatar]

Offers nothing from what I can see. I would start Carlos against Palace.

[McBrideOfFrankenstein]

Nothing? Strong disagree. Bad run of luck and I believe he'll come good.

[Fulham 1879]

He could have scored two classy goals but for bad luck. I certainly won't write him off.

[Twig]

Who is Jiminez? He certainly doesn't offer anything since he doesn't play for Fulham FC.

[filham]

His goals are a long time coming, not sure we can afford to wait much longer.

[RAY Rock]

No movement going forward and always drops back to the ball leaving no centre forward to pass too

[ron]

He always seems to be one pace short of where he should be. We have been in this position too many times before, waiting for the expected torrent of goals and brilliant performances - Cav and Marlet come to mind - from players a little short of what is required at this level.
Of course I'd be delighted to be proved wrong, but somehow I don't think I will.

[Luka]

I thought Jimmy looked tired yesterday. It's a long old trip from Mexico even if it's in first or god forbid club. At this elite level any disruption to your sleep routine can have a diverse effect.

I think (maybe more hope)he will come good under Marco. I also get the impression he is a confidence player so a couple of goals and an upturn in form and he could fly.

[colinwhite]

they were allowed to get away with murder physically, I also think he can come good ,but either way we still need another striker in January and hopefully the club already knows who that is.

We already have three strikers ,surely we have to transfer at least one before we buy again.

He's position is behind the striker when he was at Wovles, will be better than Pereira if Marco plays him there

Pereira offers nothing considering he's meant to be a scorer and set piece specialist

[perry geyton]

I thought he played well and has been playing well in most games
It's a toss up betwwwn him and Vinny for me
Just can't help but feel eventually his luck will change,

 wonder if we could play em both to brighten the odds

I agree, Did Pereira play ? Was barely noticeable, for me Cairney's a much better option

[H4usuallysitting]

I'd like to see Raul & Vini both start.....but we'd have to change our system, so it wont happen

[The Rational Fan]

If we play Jimenez for 15-35 minutes per game, rather than starting him, then I think he will have more impact per minute. I don't know who is the better striker (i suspect jimenez), but Vinicius seems like he can play 90 minutes at full intensity. Once Jimenez has some impact from the bench, the we can rethink whether he is a 90 minutes player and who should start.

Yeah, I'd like to see Vinicius for 60-70 then Raul for 20-30. I think Raul will also benefit a lot from playing with Iwobi.

[Matt10]

Easy to get down on him, but the context is that Vini had someone dynamic like Iwobi playing the 8, while Raul had Reed who plays every safe pass and poses no attacking threat. Iwobi can also get forward to alleviate the 5v1 marking that Raul experienced all match.

If Iwobi plays in that same spot with Raul, and Raul doesn't perform, then I'll start to question him starting. Until then, it's an unfair comparison.

[LC]

I think Vinicius will get us 10+ goals a season, I personally would start him. It means we'll have to adapt our style to suit him, but we are lacking goals. Hopefully Iwobi will help with creativity because we need some

They are made to compete with each other to bring out whatever little more they have in themselves.

It is like the situation we had with Rodak and Bettinelli, until Areola came in which pushes us to get Leno.

I would prefer the second person to be Jay Stansfield, but I think we made a mistake there in loaning him out and not able to get a pedigree forward as replacement.

my thoughts as well also the players know vini movements now after a tough year for him last season.
