  1. I know the opposition was what it was, but you could feel his presence whenever the ball got near to put box and I found it very reassuring. Long may it continue because in many aspects he feels like the most natural Mings replacement.
  2. Disappointed he didn't go for a panenka. Get him off penalties
  3. While I am fine with us playing a high line, there are moments in games where we should be willing and able to play with a lower block. At the end of the game on Saturday we were just asking for humiliation by persisting with it. Another example which comes to mind was Emery's second game in charge, against Man U in the league cup. We were leading midway through the second half, they had already missed a few very good chances by exposing our high line, we persisted with it and lost 4-2. Ideally, we should be able to read the situation and deduce whether we are more likely to benefit or to pay the price for any given chosen tactical approach.

    I'd have Ashley Young ahead of him every day of the week
  5. At this stage it's embarrassing for all parties involved whenever he features. Move him on, for everyone's sake... Please...
  6. I think the Chukuwemekas played a few minutes together in a cup game
  7. Dougie Dougie Dougie Dougie Dougie Douglas Luiz He takes the piss, he takes the piss. I'm sure somebody will come up with something much better, but I'm not quite sober so I am reasonably satisfied with this
  8. I would argue that we have needed him as he played a role in important wins against Brentford, United, Newcastle and now Fulham. Given how short out squad is, not having him may have forced us to shift the lineup and there is no guarantee we would have won the matches. He was by no means a protagonist in most of these games, but a backup CDM rarely is
  9. Oh come on, isn't he already earning enough?
  10. Most people did. It was a bad mistake, a massive lapse of concentration, but his performances against Brentford and United have been very good, and yesterday he put in another top display. I'm very happy with him in the squad, comes in, does a job and provides physical presence which isn't abundant in our squad.
  11. He's got very good technical and physical attributes but needs to improve his decision making and most of all he needs to learn how to get involved into the game. So often you simply forget he's on the pitch.
  12. I was impressed by him last season. This season I am genuinely asking myself - is he an upgrade on Hause?
  13. One of the frustrating parts is the timing of the mistakes. You should never concede just after scoring and just before half time. While the mistake for their first was more obvious and in many ways worse, the choice to dribble in midfield with 30 seconds before the whistle is even more baffling to me. There was absolutely nothing to be gained and everything to lose from that. Hope this is part of the learning curve for him because on every other occasion he's been outstanding for us.
  14. Although this isn't false, it must be said that Bouba had at least two chances to either clear the ball or pass it to the left. He still gets the largest part of the blame for that.
  15. The word that comes to mind is unprofessional. It's "only Leicester" so we relax and **** around with ball. Just like we did against Stevenage. And what frustrates me the most is the stupidity, with 30 seconds left on the clock, to try to dribble past players in midfield. Kamara has been brilliant up to today, but this has to be one of the worst individual performances we've seen in a while.
  16. Really hope he improves because his defending has been very dodgy...
  17. He either smashes it in the top bin or completely fluffs his lines, no middle ground
  18. The vision to play that ball, with that accuracy to Kamara, setting up the counter was glorious. Most players would have either hoofed it blindly or passed it short. Quality
  19. While he may be no world beater, based on what I've seen he's definitely good enough to be involved a lot more than he has been, especially considering the utter tripe our midfield has been delivering until not so long ago. I genuinely believe that in several games we would've been much better off bringing him on rather than pretending he doesn't exist.
  20. He can look world class at times, and at other times like he hardly is a professional football player. Shame it's not a 50/50 ratio, but rather a 20/80 (am I being generous?). And at that point it just isn't worth it. People saying Traore is better - he isn't. But at the same time, he also isn't as bad, if that makes any sense. Not sure weather, on average, who I'd pick.
  21. Brad Guzan on a bad day was better than this guy
  22. To be fair, in terms of the position Dendoncker plays, we do have clear starters. Other positions are more problematic as Gerrard decided that wingers are an obsolete concept. Give Unai a couple of transfer windows and I'm sure we'll look a lot better and a lot more stable and settled.
  23. That's where he played for good parts of the 2 half
  24. It didn't work under Smith's falling reign and Gerrard's inept reign. We now have a top manager. That's not saying that they WILL work, but their failure in the past doesn't prove that Unai cannot find the right formula to fit them both.
  25. We did enough to win it, regardless how poor we were in the first time. Cash should no longer be allowed to cross. Ever. I don't even have the strength to comment on Bailey.
