Toney

Post by dougcollins » Sat Oct 30, 2021 8:42 pm

Kind of glad we didn't manage to buy him, came across as a whinging self-obsessed tw@t.

First good tackle from Tarks and he was finished in the game.

Last seen trying to find a way out of Tarks' pocket.

Whinged a lot, threw himself down a bit and wasn’t overly impressed.

Not his game today, as said, tarks took care of him, but on his day he's proved to be a handful for defences.

Cornet has twice the amount of PL goals in half the games this season.
Make of that what you will.

Has potential and his awareness was ok.I can see decent player in there but as said above. Cornet is a snip and isn't even a forward in comparison.

Looked ok but hard to judge him due to the poor service he had all day.

He was supposedly Premier League bound when he appeared on the Turf with Peterborough, but I wasn’t impressed with him in relation to that expectation that day. Nothing has changed.

He’ll score quite a few goals this season I think, not his game yesterday but he looks a decent player

Likewise when he came on against us for Bristol City in the cup. His style does not match up well v tarks.

A very good Premier league striker would have scored that chance he had in the first half.

I think in fairness to the lad he missed his mate upfront. Not his game today but I still think he’ll be a handful against most teams. Thought JT was outstanding against him.

I wouldn't swop him for Cornet.

Had one excellent effort yesterday, which was saved brilliantly by Nick Pope. If that had gone in it might have been a different game for Tony and Brentford.

To be fair he should have given Pope no chance but the save was still excellent at a key point in the game

He might be in that group with Mitrovic, Gayle and Vidra!

He was a very good signing for a few million quid - I'd certainly have him here.

Reminds me of a lot of similar strikers, like Tammy Abraham and before him Carlton Cole - but in particular Ollie Watkins, who also played for Brentford.
All quick, having an eye for goal, given licence to roam around and relishing the big stage in their first full seasons. Toni's a big fish in a small pond now and I'm sure he'll move on for big money (it's what Brentford do) but next season will be the acid test of how good he really is.

Incidentally I think Brentford are having a enjoying a good first half to the season like Sheff Utd and Norwich first time round, but will drop like a stone after Christmas.

Ican Moany

Tarky dealt with him with ease.
