Delighted!

Can't wait to see him play with Di Santo. As much as I like McCarthy, Di Santo looks like a dream partner for any striker, and especially a poacher like Kalinic. NK's tenacity in goal scoring positions will end in many goals, you can see how much he wants it every single time he is near the opposition's goal.

He'll do a double vs Portsmouth at home, I can feel it!

Well done Nikola, unlucky not to score earlier and very unslefish squaring to Benni for the fourth (I think with more confidence he would have gone alone though)

To those who saw the match, how did he do today?

Not bad to be honest. He wasn't passed the ball a number of times and I was shouting 'Pass it to Kalinic' when he was in a good position. Broke away at pace and laid the perfect ball to Benny who was incredibly precise in his finish. He deserved his goal and seems to be coming on. Certainly more composed and a lot stronger.

Good performance by him I thought. Got himself into the box when the ball was out wide but didn't get the opportunities from the crosses. Can hold the ball up quite well with his chest and then looks for people to pass to. Deserved his goal tonight especially after the great run for Benni's goal. Saw something tonight which makes me think he may make it here. I know it was against weaker opposition but he played well and seems to know what he wants to do.

Did some good things - header against the bar that he might have done better with, scored his penalty, Put Benni in with a lovely pass. Apart from that he struggled to get into the game really. He was tending to allow the ball to go past him too often, hoping for a runner behind him. He needs to get hold of the ball and pass it better than what he did tonight.

Despite some saying he held the ball up well, I thought that was his weakness.

Header against the bar was more or less level with the goal line, he would of struggled to do much better to be fair.

As for getting in the game, he stayed in the middle, came short, went wide etc....but nobody passed him the ball!! FFS pass it to him!!

For me the jury is still out on this lad. He did well in setting up Benni, but in fairness the defender did slip in front of him, to give him the opportunity to break clear. My main concern is his lack of pace. At the moment he seems very sluggish and doesn't appear to be particularly quick. Hopefully, tonight will give him some confidence.

Just got back from the game - thing that annoys me most is how little our players pass to him!! FFS pass to him!

His set-up for Benni was quality, turned his man, beat the next and then layed a good pass to Benni.

You say he turned his man directly in front of me, it looked like a bit of misscontrol that caught the defender out then the next covering defender who came fell on his arse a real comedy of errors the rest we know. Luck eh!

It doesn't matter how you get past players, much like it doesn't matter how you finish chances, just as long as you do it.

Progressing well and hopefully will be ready to take over from Di Santo come January. Can't ask for more than a goal and an assist.

And surely you'd expect him to exploit that chance? Which he did. So what's the problem? :blush:

Found himself in some reasonable positions, so at least he's not weak off the ball. People will pass to him once they get more pitch time together and build some understanding. He certainly looks stronger, but seriously suffers from I was a tall kid syndrome. Scored one made another regardless of quality of opposition he did the job asked of him. Hopefully now he gets on against United so he has the chance to carry it on. 20-30 at the end when Di Santo is flagging won't do him any harm (dependent on the game situation off course).
