Glatzel or Moore?

Tue Nov 03, 2020 8:56 pm

Or both?

Who do you think is the better striker and who would you rather see start?

Both. They haven't quite gelled together yet but Glatzel (despite his height) isn't the same type of player as Moore IMO. Moore can bully defenders with his physicality and aerial threat and Glatzel is more skilful. IMO they can compensate each other

Moore for me.

Glatzel just doesn't look like scoring and at the end of the day that's what strikers have to do. Moore better on the ground and miles better in the air.

But glatzel is a different style of player,and for me they should both start when fit,we play better with glatzel on the pitch this year,all opinion of course.

I can't see what Glatzel does better ?

Re: Glatzel or Moore?

Moore is a much better striker

But going on tonight and the odd times they've played together they could well compliment each other and play as a partnership

Re: Glatzel or Moore?

Moore. We played much better when Glatzel went off and Wilson moved to number 10.
Glatzel and Moore didn't really link up together. It was a waste of a player having both there.

Wow !! I thought Glatzel and Moore were excellent. No doubt Moore is the better goal scorer but Glatzel stretches the back line and is good on the ball.

Lots of options upfront for a change !!

Moore definitely.

Re: Glatzel or Moore?

I’d prefer Moore and Wilson just behind him with Ojo on the right. Wilson was quiet while on the right but look what happened when he moved inside.

Re: Glatzel or Moore?

Both offer something different but its Moore for me. He gives us an outlet when there's nothing on. Would like to see him play with a faster striker if we are going to play with 2 up top often this season. It would be interesting to see how M.Harris would do with either glatzel or Moore up top. Even vassel after Christmas if he can get/stay fit!

Re: Glatzel or Moore?

Tue Nov 03, 2020 10:22 pm

Both for me. They just seem to link up even when we’ve switched to 2 up top for the last 5/10 mins in recent games they just seem to work.

Re: Glatzel or Moore?

Tue Nov 03, 2020 11:11 pm

4-4-2 did the trick tonight until the change, so both if we continue winning

Wow to you too. Moore was very good, Glatzel not so good. Much better when Glatzel went off. We saw the real Harry Wilson. Game flowed much better and we started controlling the ball. What a good goal from Wilson. He wasn't in the game playing out wide but had a significant effect when Glatzel was subbed.

Have to agree,but some who say Moore has a better goalscoring record,if you check their careers, they are quite even,considering they both played a in lower leagues in their respective countries! And Moore scored two more than glatzel last year,with Moore having the advantage of knowing British football.
They look good together,and it worked tonight,some don't rate Glatzel, and that's fair enough,but he hasn't had the game time so far this season,that Moore has,which gives Moore the advantage of scoring.they will both have a big part to play as the season progresses. :old: :bluebird:

Think they looked good together and both take pressure off each other Having Glatzel on pitch means Moore has more freedom and not having two men climbing all over him

Re: Glatzel or Moore?

Wed Nov 04, 2020 9:46 am

Moore the better all rounder, Glatzel played far better yesterday.

I'd like to see both have a chance to play together see if they can work. There was some success yesterday.

Re: Glatzel or Moore?

Don't think it will work playing these two together from what I've seen.

Both do not look like reliable goal scorers and Moore has missed so many chances this season (especially with his head).

I would rather the 1 up top with a better likelihood of an added midfielder in there giving us that extra chance of scoring as both just don't have that scoring instinct.

That ball played by Bennett across the box in last night's second half was on a plate but Moore just couldn't see it coming as a real poacher would have.

I hope to be proved wrong on Moore but at the moment he is only a slight upgrade on playing Patterson up front.

Moore is a much better lone striker. Glatzel benefits from playing in a 2, as Moore can do all of the heavy lifting while Glatzel is a better footballer but not a better striker.

Re: Glatzel or Moore?

Wed Nov 04, 2020 10:58 am

Worked well last night but like all strike partnership it needs time to gel! But problem is cannot play both in every game particularly away .. same thing when playing just one upfront glatzel better away from home as a bit more mobile than Moore! Another handicap for Moore is our dead ball service it's still going to Morrison and no one else without any effect so moore just a spectator.

I think yesterday was the best game either have had in a Cardiff shirt. Glatzel was absolutely superb in the first half and he made a few attacks out of nothing after winning the ball in his own half. Kieffer grew into the game, the longer it went on, but I feel he’s either lacking in confidence or somethings not clicking. He’s missed a couple of glorious chances now.
I think the answer to the OP is purely dependent on the opposition. Every game Glatzel has been involved in when he’s been on the pitch we look a much better side. But there are games if he started alone up top he would be useless to us. Moore will always give you the long ball outlet, but without anyone around him it’s a waste of time. Which had been the case in the Derby and QPR games. I would not moan at either of them starting as I think they are both quality strikers. But if we had a chance in the 90th minute to win the game I’d back Glatzel to finish it over more, unless it’s a headed chance haha!

Re: Glatzel or Moore?

Both.

Glatzel with a bit more confidence could be a clear goal scorer for us.

Moore has proved again he isn’t just a target man. He can set goals up, hold the ball up, he has pace compared to some defenders he’s up against and of course he can head the ball.

Few more days on the training pitch and BOTH players could easily lead us into the top 6.

Just gotta hope for a reliable defender in Jan transfer window now.

Seems the manager thinks they did fine,junior hoilett also says it was great to have 2 strikers to play off,but guess both are wrong? Glatzel was only pulled because he was still suffering after sickness and the shits.for me although similar in height,glatzel for me is better on the floor,and although people hailed moore,as a striker who can head the ball,he has missed quite a few chances to score with his head,yesterday included.bith together at home for me.

We were 2-0 up when the change was made !! No guarantee Wilson would have been that far forward if it was still 1-0.

That said, my preference is not to play the two upfront and play Wilson as a number 10 with Ojo (who was really unlucky to be rested last night) and Hoilett out wide. If you have a player as deadly as Wilson is on the edge of the box you need him more central and involved.

As I said, lots of options for a change. Even more welcome as I'm not sire we'll see much of Tomlin with his injuries.

or me... constantly makes a b line for the 6 yard box but is completely in effective when in there... personally thought he had a great chance late in the game where he did that stretched neck off one leg thing he does instead of jumping... Hoilett got blamed for the miss but RG missed the ball...

442 and get both of them with cross after cross

Re: Glatzel or Moore?

Sat Nov 07, 2020 10:44 am

Neither ???

Are they the problem ? £7 million and they don't really score goals.

I don't think it was a 442 when Glatzel came on I think in Mike Bassetts mind, it was the same 4231 with Bobby as the 10 and Wilson onto the wing. I can only think it was that as why other than that would you keep the wide forward inverted and not tell them to get onto their correct wing and cross the ball at pace rather than stopping and cutting inside.

Bennett knocked in the best crosses when he ventured beyond the half way line.

They both maybe players, we see enough of Moore in a Welsh shirt to know he can dos more, is it our set up?
