Fingers crossed Glenn can be that player for us this season. sadly our last 2 starting Irish midfielders were Kinsella and Ireland 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phumfeinz Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 I still hold this guy responsible for the beginning of our downfall when he scored that equaliser. Lerner lost interest from that point onwards and that was that. He can make it up for us now by helping us get promoted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we finished above all of them last season and want to finish far above them this season as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummybloke Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Looks to be the nasty bastard we need in midfield to protect lansbury and hourihane and be the link from defence. Played 1 crap pass straight to one of their players but apart from that got stuck in fought well passed well and a couple crunching tackles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup - important thing is that he never went missing, always offered a short option to players in our half too. Basic things really but things we needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 So is he an actual leprechaun? SO far he at least looks to have granted my wish of having a more mobile and gifted CM instead of Jedi and that I didn't have to watch Richards in CB in a Villa shirt. And that happened too. Now for my final wish I wan't us to get promoted. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed this but what I also noticed was his reaction to drop straight after and support the defence. He did it a few times. You can tel he is the kind of midfielder a back 4 loves to have him front of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted July 23, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted July 23, 2017 From what little I saw today he regularly dropped into fullback as well when the usual full back had gone forward (usually Amavi). Good cover. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
