He’s a true replacement for Dzeko in my eyes. He performs a lot of the same functions in our system.
His role seems to be about pressing and creating plays & space for his strike partner rather than going for goal himself. A selfless player who works hard for the team and contributes. I'd take him over Arnautovic any day.Bit of a strange one so far. We wrote off Arnautovic for the standard reasons you would write off any struggling striker - he didn't score enough goals and he missed too many easy chances, but applying this basic logic to Taremi so far is trickier. He has not scored enough goals for sure - zero non-penalty goals in 559 minutes of play - but you cannot say he has missed sitters because he hardly seems to have had any chances, or even shots at goal which is worrying in itself.
His workrate and intelligence with the ball are undoubted positives, but we do need to see more basic striker stuff from him.

Yeh totally. i Wonder what his strike to conversion rate is cos the eye-test for me says he isnt getting that many options and when he does looks to play someone else in, which is why he isnt getting goals. Maybe needs to be more selfish.I don't think there's anyone suggesting he is not the obvious next choice after Lautaro and Thuram, nor that there are not good things about his game. We have an attack which is broadly inefficient anyway so expecting your strikers to be able to do more than work selflessly for the team is perfectly reasonable. Hopefully this can come into his game soon.
I don't think he has had a single genuine scoring chance yet. I can hardly remember any shots on target. He works hard and has good positioning, but he feels like a midfielder in a forward's body.
From what i have seen from Taremi so far he gives me the impression he is more of a hard working SS than a prolific CF in our system. He has high work rate, he will fight for every ball, he will provide assists to the main forward. He will occasionaly score but he won't be the main guy to score goals in attack.
He had a few, including the one he shot straight at the GK from a close range. Can't remember the game. It was a home match and the chance was in the last minutes of the game.I don't think he has had a single genuine scoring chance yet. I can hardly remember any shots on target.
