WalthamOwl Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 (edited) He’s not consistently good enough imo. He does a job but we need more, I look forward to having Hooper and FF back who play well but also score goals. I like a striker that can do that. Nuhiu is a decent option to have coming on from the bench but as a starter I don’t think he is good enough for that.

People need to stop expecting Nuhiu to be great in the air just because he is tall, and appreciate the qualities he does have, which are many but not that. Which qualities does he have then? Pace? Finishing ability? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulture_squadron Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Nuhiu will always be criticised for not scoring enough goals and that's fair enough. As a striker he should score more. However, he can be a focal point for the attack and can link the play. That Birmingham game a couple of years ago - he was the linchpin for Hooper, Forestieri and Bannan to work off. Reminded me of Luca Toni in the World Cup in 2006 - he didn't score many goals but he was crucial to the team. We all though Fletcher would be the upgrade - but Fletcher was rarely fully fit. I would like to have seen Nuhiu partnered with Rhodes but can't really pick him ahead of the other strikers cos they score more goals. I think we should be glad we have him now though - he will fight for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@owlstalk Posted February 25, 2018 Author Share Posted February 25, 2018 If you were an opposition defender and you were marking Joao or Rhodes or whoever Nuhiu partnered you will almost definitely be affected by the presence of the lad up front too there's no escaping his presence It's like Darth Vader walking down the seafront at Scarborough. You might be wanting to look up at the Castle or maybe wanting to head into the amusement arcades, but you're guaranteed to have your eye taken away by Darth across the road innit. That's basically Nuhiu He's Darth Vader Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emilianenko Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 2 hours ago, upperwinngardensowl said: He doesn’t actually slow the game down, Rhodes, Fletcher (from memory), and Hooper aren’t exactly speed merchants. He holds the ball better than any other player we have, rarely wastes it, and can move the ball forward, quickly and accurately better than most of our team. he is Not a natural goal scorer, and because of that some people dismiss everything else he does. He has changed, for the better, no end of games when on as sub. Probably the biggest load of guff ever written on Owlstalk . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been great recently but I do think he needs to be released at the end of the season. It’s harsh but the right call! He’s a bit like Semedo - top man and professional who always gave his all for the Club. I reckon we'd be at least 6 points better off this season if we still had Semedo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belfast Owl 2 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 15 hours ago, Ian said: Typical Owlstalk love in with Nuhiu.....make a big thing of a simple chest down and forget about the fact that he missed at least 2 sitters and set up Villa for one of theirs. The reason he's never injured is because the opposition never go near him a) because 9 times out of 10 they know nothing will come of him having the ball and b) because the opposition would be devastated if they injured him and he want off to be replaced by someone with an ounce of pace, talent or craft. There is no love in and people on here can think for themselves. If you can't handle debate on Nuhiu without snide digs ( and abusing posters like you have in the past) then this site isn't for you.

I dont mind Nuhiu, he brings us something different... occasionally. But to say people that have questioned his ability previously dont know anything about football is so far away from the mark its untrue. The guys has been abysmal for the majority of his time here. I saw him get marked out of a game by a locksmith and lumberjack when we played Macclesfield Town at home in the Cup. To the point where i couldn't get frustrated at him anymore I genuinely sat there is fits of laughter at how poor he was. I'm sorry but you saying what you said only makes people question your knowledge about football... sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
