No that was a statement. When he was recruited there was much made of his height in attacking positions.
Willie and Dan sure aren't going to get above the Arsenal defense. Piroe is pretty average heading in the box - not his strength.

Piroe ain't a target man ffs, we need either DCL or Nmecha if we want to do that

We certainly are not getting caught on the break so far, which is good.

This match doesn’t appear to suit Piroe.

Brilliant defence by Gnonto after Gudmundsson fannied around and lost it

Probably striker by default right now rather than suiting the situation

Of course Piroe is a target man - hes in the middle of our attack!
Nmecha isn't on the field right now is he. But he will be at some point Im sure.
