The greatest kind of what?? He isn't even a fantastic finisher, he gets the goals from getting in the right position so often, he certainly isn't clinical. He will score goals but has many limitations which is why he will never play for a top club.

Think Lambert needs to explain this to the players again on Monday, that he meant they had freedom, not to give freedom to the other side.

Think that testimonials have changed with the income players have. Think they still have a place to give appreciation for excellent service but only if the money is given to a charity. I'm sure if Petrov decided to call it a day, a testimonial with all money going to a leukemia charity would attract a huge crowd.

I agree that Weimann should be given time, but there's no need to mae up imaginary loan spells to prove a point!

I've seen Foday play a lot of schools football and he is the best player i have ever seen at that age, by a long long way. However, he was also twice the size of nearly every kid he was playing.

Seven defensive players. Now who can correctly guess where they will play. A CB at RB, our RB at LB, our LB in midfield and i'm guessing one of our attackers on the wing.

Always given his all? The games when he has bothered stand out a mile, the rest he lumbered around and cried like a baby at the slightest bit of contact. He's also had plenty of opportunities up front and proved equally inept under each manager.

And deny thousands of fans the chance of being a the game?

I've always enjoyed the pitch invasion photo, with the grown adult in the full kit carrying a Lidl bag!

So as goodwill messages come from throughout the football world, all the English football followers looking for news, even teams like R.Madrid making gestures, yet all Michael can think of on twitter:

There is no way he is a second striker, he doesn't make runs beyond the other attacker, he has very little urge to even score goals. He is a lightweight midfielder who plays the advanced role because of his aversion to hard work.

He only played for a short while and no game til a week Tuesday, makes sense. Another goal or two and he will be full of confidence for Bolton.

Or maybe the bizarre concept of playing two up front at home against one of the poorest sides in the league!

If only he could be a proper midfielder, with the quality he has he could be amazing. However, i think we will always notice the games where he makes a few challenges as they will stand out as the exception . Playing either him or N'Zog in a 442 would be suicidal.

Hope he plays well and impresses another manager enough to let them think they might make a star out of him. Then we can buy a player to fit into the team, not one we have to fit a team about.

Not saying he's not doing ok, just some of the comments in here and you'd think we've got a world class player on our hands! He's decent, but with a lot of flaws.

Agree about Keane. If your playing as the withdrawn striker, you need to pose a goal threat yourself.To need to get past the attacker at times and drive into the box. Ireland looks pretty at times and links things together, but if you're an opposing defender you don't fear him getting the ball. If he could play a proper central midfield role with his talent, he could be a great player, but due to his lack of application/discipline this won't happen.

The fact that he was totally isolated up front, with Ireland and N'Zogbia farting around amount themselves too much, the fact that he had two big centre backs right behind him yet we still played high balls, the fact that when Fulham had the ball he was expected to drop behind the ball deep into his own half, has nothing to do with his performance. Bent has received a lot of critisism this year as well. Any striker playing the lone role in our team at the moment is going to suffer. The team is currently set to flatter Ireland, a midfielder who is too half arsed and indisciplined to fit in a two man midfield, and N'Zogbia, a winger who is too lazy and positionally unaware to play in a 442 with out leaving a huge gap behind him. So many times Gabby is the only man in the box, making him so easy to mark. So many times he received the ball and our so called attacking players were miles behind him. Gabby didn't play particularly well yesterday, but i couldn't see many players coming out with credit from the role.

Saw those comments earlier and thought what a jumped up little____. One min raving about Villa, next minute throwing a fit. However, he's a young kid and all young lads make rash statements and think they know best. Hopefully he will receive the support from his family and coaches to develop his talent and mature. Think it shows that twitter can be a very bad idea. Young kids don't need to do their growing up in front of the world!

He limped off in the last game with an ankle injury and was a doubt for tonight.

That's what I was thinking too. They seem to have been in administration for ages and there always seems to be some supposed takeover that never happens. AFC Portsmouth to appear in the bottom leagues soon? Their ground will fit right in!

Because Collins had gone up for the set piece, leaving Dunne and Warnock back. If he'd stayed in his left back position he'd have been leaving a huge gap in the middle. For all his mistakes recently, the goal wasn't his fault.

Just as he was being linked with Collins!

Looks like his confidence is shot.

From Twitter Carlos was never in doubt
