This is the stark reason Cardiff City are not picking Kenneth Zohore



Friday 28th September 2018


Kenneth Zohore needs to do more in training if he is to force his way back into the first team picture at Cardiff City.

That's the frank assessment from boss Neil Warnock, who admits he's been unimpressed by the Dane, who's made just two Premier League starts this season, despite previous suggestions that he could play a key role in the Bluebirds' survival bid.

Warnock has shown a preference to the likes of Bobby Reid, Danny Ward and Gary Madine in recent weeks, and says Zohore needs to show more hunger if he's to win his place back in the team.

When quizzed on his sparing use of the striker.



NEIL WARNOCK:

Warnock said: "I’ve not seen a lot of him either!"

"That’s why he’s not been in the team.

"He’s got to do better in training every day. He’s got to get the hunger back that he’s had.

"There’s only one person who can do that. We can only do so much.

"It’s like the saying of taking a horse to water.

Cardiff have scored just three goals this season - a tally that's left them tied with Huddersfield Town as the league's worst in front of goal so far.

As a result, Warnock has refused to close the door on restoring Zohore to the starting line-up, providing he puts in the hard yards.

"He’s in the running [for Burnley]," he continued. "He’s in the 18, but he’s got to do more in training."


Warnock has clearly been paying plenty of attention to training in recent weeks, and has even hinted that there could be a surprise in his selection for the visit of Burnley on Sunday as a result.

"Training is important. One player has done well this week and hasen’t been in my thoughts before. So that’s the best way of catching the manager’s attention. Get on the training ground and give me a nudge."

Perhaps Ken is 'home sick' and to of sorts?

Either way, he's got a perfect opportunity to stake his claim as a Premier League player but seems not to 'want' it!

Interesting to see/know who the notable player has been in training this week?

Seems to be someone who hasn't started so far, which doesn't leave many and cannot include Tomlin ( ) and the only players (other than Gunnarsson) that haven't played and Premier League football are...

Keepers Alex Smithies and Ben Murphy (unlikely)

Defender Matthew Connolly (mild possibility)

Midfielder Lois Damour (possible and would like to see that myself)

Winger Kadeem Harris (possible)


Will be an interesting team announcement, if the change really is to be made!

I find the remark itself a bit odd..

Yes, I agree and it may well be that it is possibly one of his 'man management games

However, made it he has and that opens it up for speculation...

Steve (Troobloo) thinks it is Kadeem and it appears wingers are a bit of a problem at the moment; what with Mendez-Laing out and Hoilett appearing to be out of sorts

I tend to agree, although I'd love to see Damour given a run out, as I'm never too sure what he did wrong last season not to play a lot more games and then be largely ignored this season

Looked pretty good initially and ran the show in that great win against Wolves away!

Kadeem harris it has to be, could be our answer. We had bags of pace them llaing and murphy got injured. Hes been doing well in the u23s aswell
