You can only perform against the team put in front of you and Vinnie did a job today. I hope it starts giving Jose and Joao some headaches in regards to the third attacking spot alongside Sonny and Kane.

Helosh helosh voo is dere please?
Totally a different option and a different style of player than HK.
He can only do what he has been doing in the games he's played in which is score goals.
defiantly worth keeping.
Vini is a yid!!

Exactly, he made 2 very good runs that Kane could've passed with his left foot but decided to play it backwards instead. He's also faster than normal for a lad of his size. I like him, I don't know why José doesn't play him more in the EPL side when we're looking for a goal.
I don’t think you know much about football if you think the two players you are comparing play in the same position.
Stevie B is not a CF. He’s being asked to spend more time defending than attacking.
It’s so clear to see when you watch a game??
Vinny is a striker and a target man. Hes not gonna be playing wide. Either is kane.!! Square pegs in round holes and all that
These are good points. And the good form of Kane and Son have not helped matters for him, I guess.
My own view is Vinny could play with Kane or Son as they do different things. He could be a target man with Kane as a deeper '10' and using his passing range. I would like to see this at a few points but Mourinho is pretty cautious so I doubt you will see two out and out strikers much.
Bit of a funny one as I think he was mainly bought in to give Kane a rest in the cups, and to come in if the worst happened and he picked up an injury. Don't think theres much chance of him working himself into the starting 11 in the league unless we get an injury to somebody.
You can only beat whats in front of you and think he's not let anyone down when he has played. Equally not set the world on fire.

Think he needs time to settle before we really judge
Again, based on what?
He's played against poor opposition and for the most part, delivered.
He wasn't the best yesterday.
But before yesterday, he had started 1 game in a month and a half which was against a team in the 7th tier of English football.
Again, he's suffering the exact same thing Llorente suffered from (And every single striker we sign going forward whilst Kane is here will suffer from). Lack of minutes to keep match sharpness up because managers are frightened of taking Kane off when things aren't working or going all out when needing something different and putting a striker on to play alongside him.
What HAS he done that's impressed me since he's been here? He's shown intelligence. His hold up play has been good. He works hard and for the most part when he's started, he tends to have a hand in goals.
But I am not going to isolate one game from his that was poor as an excuse as to why he "isn't good enough" because that's a stupid angle. And you know it. I could also name about 5 games of Gareth Bale this season to prove why he is a waste of the wages we are paying him - but I am not going too because he isn't match fit and won't be by getting games here and there.
Or should I not support our back up striker?
How any striker, who has 6 goals and 3 assists in 500 odd minutes can be criticised because he was subpar against a Championship side whilst surrounded by our B team is beyond me. Especially when Gareth Bales performance (against the same bang average side) is getting praised and calls of "Bale being back" - lol
Been banging this drum for years but this is more proof we dont need a back up centre forward. What we need is another Son type that can play up front or in the 3 with Kane and Son. Any back up to Kane is such a drop in quality he wont ever get a proper chance against decent opposition.
When wanks and Pamela have more game time then you do you must really question your sanity
