Žan Vipotnik - Swansea’s Number 9

[Swans Jack]

All the talk this week about how he can't header and he scores . Got to love the irony of football. Not saying he still can or not. Just laughed and cheered at same time

well taken goal now he wants to buckle down and work very hard to improve himself and show he can improve, but for me we still need another striker

Of course. It always amazes me that scoring a single goal in any match changes anyone’s view on a player. He’s scored better goals than that for us before (at Derby and Leeds).

If it's a choice between him and Cullen to lead the line then it's him every time.

Cullen is not a striker, play him behind VIP and see how that goes.

Would rather see Widell or Eom play at #10 before Cullen.

VIP showed what holding the ball up and being strong does to the dynamics of the team today.
WWe started looking more threatening when he came on and allowed the wingers to get the ball whilst facing Watford goal.
We don't play a 10 but Cullen can certainly play that midfield 2 role as he has done for Wales.

100%

Vip certainly isn't the best but he is an actual striker which Cullen (I thought we'd found this out before the end of last season) certainly isnt

If he did that on a regular basis then absolutely but he hasn't.
I want him to succeed so if the recent events have given him a kick up the arse & he contributes more then happy to see him first choice.

Cullen offers very little, said it before but if he wasn’t a Swansea boy then we would have all been calling for him to be shipped out years ago. Same with Cooper, sooner they are both gone or away from the first team, the better

Cullen is a decent player if played correctly and correct position........a striker he is not.

Too often on his heels and wants the ball played to his feet.

Vip took his goal beautifully but barely touched the ball besides that. I don't remember one instance of him holding the ball up (not that Cullen did either).

He held the ball up well with one of his first touches I recall.

He got Infront of the defenders lovely for his goal, Watford defence were probably shocked after our main striker had as much movement as a fence post.
Vipotnik held the ball up before the goal, took it down and laid it off to the midfielder on the front foot, facing the oppositions goal.
