I have been keeping an eye on this forum since the BBC days and I can see that there are many season ticket holders on here. (I only got to 3 games last season). I would appreciate your opinions on the Jelavic situation.
He seems the same player everywhere else on the pitch apart from in front of goal which is his main job. Confidence must be a factor but last season under Moyes did he lose that selfishness which every striker needs. His work rate is great but he seems to spend too much time trying to help out the midfield and wide men rather than getting in the box and putting them away. Why was he so often in wide positions?
I am assuming that he was carrying out Moyes's orders. Under Moyes our strikers only seemed to last a season before going stale. I am hoping that Martinez will be able to get him scoring again by directing him towards the box a bit more.
These are my opinions but feel free to tell me if the sun has got to my head
Martinez and Jelavic

Back to the thread....
Do you guys think Mirallas will stay out on the wing or get more central under Roberto? Last year fantasy.premierleague had him as an out-an-out striker

Was tired and angry to see Jelvic working out wide. He should be the target, but plenty of times he would be bypassed by our wide players....
Who would they pass to/score the chance.
Would like to have seen him play no wider than the D, sure Martinez will give him his confidence back/boost.

More utter BS from Silky!!! Great input, pat yourself on the back son.
Jelly, admittedly was massively garbage goal scoring wise last season. Although he did miss some chances he was also on the receiving end of the wrong option chosen by his teammate(s).
Numerous occasions a simple square ball or a through ball would have been great only to be ignored
arguement is would he have out it in. More than likely and from that further boost to confidence.
Hopefully this will be amended service wise and also a greedier striker mentality installed, he's shown he can graft for the team but lets see the real Jelavic at work.....again.

Where is this BS coming from.Be more considerate with your comments TRIPLE.
I said many times last season that Jelavic was being ignored when in great positions having made incisive runs, and that the main culprit was Piennar, who seemed to ignore the lad completely.
I dont mind Jelavic being greedy, i think that he wants to score at every opportunity, but, he is also intelligent in his play and displays an ability to lay the ball off if needed.
