Turned 22 a few months ago and people expect him to be player of the season.
Jesus wept.
22 is actually not that young in football terms.
Don't think people are expecting him to be player of the season either but for a £20 million signing you'd at least expect something of a goal threat and to be able to last more than 30 minutes wouldn't you say?

Not the game to judge him on.
It doesnt help that we rarely got in behind the defence and mainky played in front of them
Jaysus Christ, man-I could scarcely believe that the space-station-shot had not taken a deflection. In terms of toothlessness, he reminds me of Crouch.Works hard, great at holding the ball up but his finishing is up there with Pavlyuchenko and Townsend... shoot on sight and end up giving the space station a close encounter.
Bit tough when their defence is sitting on their goal-line the majority of the time.

And when our tactics weren't to get the ball to him in behind the defense.
It's like people have no clue what they're watching (shock horror!).
You picked on my point to justify why Janssen isnt scoring. Haha. Funny.
Not really.. I picked on your point as you accused him of not getting in behind today's defence.
I agree; he should be threatening the goal more, but at the same time it should be players like Lamela & Son making runs in behind defences in the system we play.
Lamela in particular is shit at it and comes deep far too often to allow us to stretch defences and free up space for the No.9.
To get the best out of Janssen you need players getting in behind and supplying him. My concern is you cannot play him and Lamela together, thenNot really.. I picked on your point as you accused him of not getting in behind today's defence.

Eriksen. This is not a dig at the two. It is just that Janssen will not give you penetration, and not his game. You would hardly call Lamela and Eriksen plays who give you penetration. My own opinion, you will have issues as a goal threat.
It is there for all to see. You need to have balance.That was exactly my point which contrary to what the previous posters suggest i did not suggest that Janssen run in behind because simply thats not his game.
At present he plays his back to goal half the time because we arent getting in behind enough for him to have the chance to get in the box and attack the ball. Hence Son is vital. Sissoko wont do that so much. Nkodou could. The wing backs will.
