Obviously a good player, but not sure if we haven't been mugged in paying so much for him.
Time will tell.

I think that we are not playing to his strengths sufficiently and are not getting the ball up to him quick enough. He will learn to play with us and we will learn to play with him and all will be well, just a matter of time.

totally agree with you he;s game is all about pace and looking for the ball over the top and being on the shoulder of the last defender ,we dont play that way its all about build from the back and pace out wide not through the middle, ithink we miss murray alot . we didnt look threatening at corners or freekicks murray was quality in the air and was always dangerous ithink thats what is missing at the moment .also vincente linked up much better with barns who shows for the ball graig just runs away

He hardly had a sniff tonight, Carragher had him in his pocket and I was also very impressed with Martin Kelly (unreal how he reached that ball ahead of Spaz after Reina parried Noone's shot in the first half). CMS started getting a bit more of the ball down that inside-right channel once Barnes and Vicente were on and started slipping it through to him.
We are going to seriously CANE someone soon and CMS will bag a couple, can see it coming.

How many pockets can Cms fit in I wonder.
Carragher tonight, Bamba last Saturday.
As much as I don't like saying it, I would like to see Murray up there with him to help him out.

Without a doubt. He isn't suited to playing up front on his own. So who would you rather have playing beside him - Barnes or Murray? Not a difficult question I would have thought.

You can see it coming, lets hope it's Palace next week.

I agree with both of these comments. He clearly a quality player but we're not getting the best out of him. He looks very lonesome at time and clearly needs a settled strike partner. Is Barnes that player? No I don't think so. Is Hoskins? Who knows!?!
Poyet is no mug though, he realised we're lacking physically last year after the Hartlepool game so went out and brought in Wood. Regardless of what any of you thought of him Wood did a great job for us last season in that hold up role. Whilst he wasn't the greatest of footballers he caused enough problems in the oppositions defence to allow Murray to do his bit.
On the Murray and CMS comparisons it's difficult to say. Is CMS better than Murray....yes probably. Is he £2.5m better than him.....no certainly not.
Once again though in Gus we trust!!

I almost started the same thread, he is clearly a good player and will score goals - but not convinced he is the best we could have got for the money.

Does anyone know about Hoskins injury?

Soup! Why didn’t I get any Soup?
33-1 for a hat-trick friday, maybe worth a few quid. He is only 7-1 to score 2 or more, i think i will leave that one alone.

He's class.
We've not exactly been playing to his strenghs recently. Doing a thankless task of working for the team at the moment

This I feel is likely to be the correct answer.

Watching Vicente last night, who oozed class and read the game so well IMHO, then I think he will supply the sort of service that CMS was used to with Boyd, and we have yet to see the best of him. Once they get that partnership and understanding going, he will score for fun.
Nobody can fault his commitment and work rate, and his defensive work is probably un-noticed, it was CMS that hooked the ball off the line in the first half.
The best is yet to come I feel.

It will take a little while for Gus to work his magic on him. I seem to remember Nooney being luke warm at times last season.
