You don't buy two players to play in the same position if you rate the guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Although he will never really get too much credit for it as black players tend to be described as pacey, strong, beasts, physical etc but he is a very intelligent footballer in terms of the positions he takes up and the runs he makes. Which is surprising if you ever hear him talk as he definitely is a simple man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't bank on one guy staying fit and in form all year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I listened to Adomah and Davis being interviewed after the Barnsley game, and I have to say that compared to Davis, Adomah sounded like Cicero.

lapal_fan Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 I love Albert because he reminds me of how my dad used to get me to play (not awful, but very average who could kick the ball further than anyone else ) - Be at the back post when the ball gets crossed from the other side - If you have the ball, hit the by line and get it in - Follow up anything - Stay in line with the ball It's like he's been trained by my dad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't look that technical, yet every player when doing the video q+a's last season all said he was the most skilful and technical player.
