Looks pretty good, we should sign him
I'm not a scouser mate!He's your father?
He lacks composure at the key moment. I wish he would calm down a bit on the ball. I am hoping this is down to nerves, but we shall see. That highlight reel didn't feel me with much confidence though.Looked a lot like last year to be honest. Willing but still short of what we need.
What do you disagree with specifically?Oh FFS. Lad only plays a few minutes in a friendly and straight away the daggers are out. No wonder the poor bastard has no confidence.
That he lacks composure. He's a kid. A work in progress. Kane, when he was out on loan, was shit as well up until a few years ago.What do you disagree with specifically?
I don't think we should cast him aside. To me it seems pretty evident he lacks composure at the key moment, but, as I said, I think this is down to nerves. I not totally sure why I get so much heat for this opinion. Maybe people are incapable of understanding nuance. I am not saying he is shit or unable to change. I think he needs to calm down and part of that is confidence, which you mentioned.That he lacks composure. He's a kid. A work in progress.

I have faith in him. So, evidently, does Poch. I think the issue is his age and mental maturity, particularly stepping up to a much harder league and having to compete with world class players like Kane and Dele Alli. Those things can be improved. Otherwise his movement and vision is good and improved significantly over the course of the past season. He needs our faith and backing. I think we cast him aside at our peril as I think he will come good.
I think the nerves are a bit related to match form/how much playtime he has. He looked similarly nervy at times last season but during the spring when he got more consistent playtime he got more and more comfortable and it disappeared. I think Janssen is perfect as a substitute striker and if he gets consistent playtime (which he should) we should see those nerves disappear.I don't think we should cast him aside.

Edit: In fact, I am being nicer than most, even the sycophants. I am saying he will be successful if he can stop panicking.

As I wrote in my previous post I also think Vincent needs more consistent delivery to score a lot. Kane is obviously the finished article and a creator of his own chances. Vincent doesn't really have that yet (he had it in Holland but the Dutch league is so offensively focused that defenses for most teams are sorely lacking). So when he doesn't get consistent delivery he doesn't get the chances to score. He finds the right positions and starts/makes good runs but if no one delivers it is sadly for not. Just means he is a poacher striker rather than a creative striker.I agree

Levy £10 bid incoming!Honestly, I watch Janssen and he plays exactly like me.
SOMEONE TEACH VINCENT THE ROBOTI like the fact he gives us something else - a bit of strength, decent lay offs, left footed etc. Might not be prolific, but neither was Crouchy and he was always a good Plan B.

Janssen seems to be getting ripped judging from the preseason videos and pictures from training.
Perhaps the idea once season proper kicks off is to have him come on in halftime and strongarm his way to goal?
Right now he doesn't seem to have the full pace to got for a full 90 with PL defenders, so using him as a super/power sub when they've tired is probably the best bet until he grows into itLamela was much better once he got ripped.
