A lot of you seem to be forgetting he is playing out of position. He should be up front. But despite that i think hes done well. Couldve killed him when he didnt take that shot yesterday though.Top Scorers 2018/2019

To the people saying he is playing out of position, he has said in numerous interviews he feels most comfortable on the wing where he can move about the pitch and create opportunities. He doesn't have the confidence in front of goal at the moment to be a striker as highlighted by that chance yesterday. I still think he is a brilliant player and we need to sign him if we stay up along with Isla, but I would like him to develop confidence when moving in field from the wing. Also 77, he has 2 assists and a goal for us but I agree that the point still stands that he needs to be more direct with his decision making."What stats allow you to do is not take things at face value. The idea that I trust my eyes more than the stats, I just don't buy that because I've seen magicians pull rabbits out of hats and I know I just know that rabbit's not in there." - Billy Beane

As said, you can't fault his effort but just doesn't seem to have much of a clue in the final third. From what I've seen of his crossing it's generally poor which, for a supposed winger, should be his bread and butter.
His fumbling around on the ball when we had a 3 on 1 break was embarrassing. He should have passed it much, much earlier and just seemed to be caught in 3 minds. I'm not Taarabt's biggest fan (in fact I will argue with anyone who says he is Premiership class) but, had it have been him on the ball, I'm 99% sure he'd have at least had a crack. I'm 99.9% sure said shot would have been a scuffed shot along the floor.
I'd still play Vargas for the time being but he really needs to step it up.

Quality player comfortable on the ball and played out of position. I often feel that he is explosive in small bursts but due to the fact we are so crap that is often on the half way line instead of in the final third. He plays up top for Chile and scores for fun admittedly he has much better players supplying him. He is probably more comfortable on the wing because him and Isla know each other very well so they help each other out. Our best periods of play generally come when Isla and Vargas combine and overlap. Unfortunately the way we play is not really conducive to him playing up front with Charlie. You could see yesterday with that run where he should have done better that he is lacking confidence because he should have shot instead of looking for the pass but running the length of the pitch will lead to that.

Quality player. Needs to be more decisive in the final third which is frustrating but he brings a lot to the side. Got fire in his belly and never gives up, busts his nuts to win the ball back if he loses it. Creates a lot too - starter every week for me.
Question for those saying no about him , who would you play instead ?You should never underestimate the predictability of stupidity.

Anyway, if Sando comes in next game then he should play alongside Henry and drop Joey.
I bet we get something from the game. We did better when Sandro was playing and Joey was out, just my opinion.
