He does a lot of hard work for other players...and is our top scorer,can't ask for more than that!
I was expecting to see a couple, but there are bloody loads of themLove this thread. It weeds out the clueless in their droves.

No doubt they will argue that he was crap when they posted, so they were right at the time, but Hughton obviously didn't agree, or Hemed wouldn't have stayed with us and played so much.
So is Hemed actually crap, and we've been mislead by a couple of goals?
Or (and this is almost unthinkable) were the internet experts wrong?
Indeed, and I'm not going all out hindsight smartarse on this one.To be fair to some of these posters my original question was if he was any good. They answered what they thought at the time based on the games they'd seen him in.
He started well and then had a quiet patch, which is not that unusual, particularly in his first season in England. I don't study each player enough each game (and I don't see many away games anyway) to be that sure of a player who's not doing great. Hughton always seemed to back him though, which surely means he was doing something right even in his quieter spell?Yes he's improved since then from what I can tell (I've only really got highlights to go on) but he was hardly setting the world on fire in December was he in terms of goals.

Of course. He has turned it round and proved his doubters wrong . Not that he will care but he has proved me wrong . I guess it was confidence not ability so yep, i got that wrong .
Actually the point you made is why is asked this question. He hadn't scored in ages, he hadn't done much in the few games id seen him and yet Hughton who I consider one of the leagues best managers consistently picked him. Therefore I wondered if he was any good and did more each match than JUST score goals.
When we signed him I thought we'd found our 20 goal a season guy, the first 10 games filled me with expectation that he would go on to be that man.
By November I was believing he was just a squad player and he had been worked out by championship defences, and I was delighted when we signed Wilson as he would take us to the promised land.
Now I just don't know, I like both players a lot but do believe they are both replaceable within our squad unlike Kayal.
Hemed is the sort of striker I'd much rather have on our team than play against each week
So basically:-
- When Tomer was playing with the leagues best wingers you thought he was the doggies dangles.
- When Tomer was playing with bang average wingers you thought he wasn't up to it.
- Now Tomer is playing with the leagues best wingers again I'm guessing you think he's the man.
If only there was a way of connecting those facts.
