Keener window-cleaner Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 I also like the passion he shows, the way he argued with Mina for example, or how he doesn't accept when he gets manhandled and not getting a free kick and lets the ref know that, or when he lashed out at someone fouling Trezeguet. Mings had to calm him down a couple of times. He looks like the hulk and as he could eat someone alive. I sure wouldn't want to upset him. Think he will cause quite a lot of problems for defences during the season, making space for the others to score and get one or two himself.

Kinda shows how important getting to know each other on the pitch is, and hopefully how much more is to come once the players get to know each other. Wesley and jota were immense. do you know where can I see that interview? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And regarding the language he seems to speak English without any problems at all, sometimes you see interviews with players and you get the impression they don't understand the question, talking about something else than the question asked or repeating obvious things. Wesley understood and replied directly and gave calm answers. Strange why anyone would say anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From his smiles looked like he just wants to get his passion out.. can tell he was jubilant after that match but kept his media training in check..just about.

M_Afro Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 The more I see this guy play and talk and also research his life story the more impressive he becomes. Before anybody accuses this guy of being lazy ever again they should look at what he has achieved, the lengths he has been prepared to go in order to achieve it and the many obstacles that have littered his way. Lazy people do not have life stories like his at any age let alone 22. It is those labelling him as lazy that are in fact the lazy ones. You have gotta love a bit of irony!

Villan4Life Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 (edited) Very good player indeed! Massive potential he impressed me the first time i saw him play! Not sure why anyone has been questioning him and writing him off the last few weeks on here? Why?? It's obvious he's a very good player and can only improve further...

KenjiOgiwara Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Quote Wesley saw himself as an attacking midfielder, but the Slovakian club looked at his power and pace and had other ideas. “He didn’t want to play like a No 9. He wanted to play in the middle. But all his talent that he had was really to be a striker,” Rybnicek says. Well that explains why he looks like a playmaker at times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Pangloss Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Had nothing to work with at all, pathetic display from both wingers. Seems key to me that he gets regular service. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 He didn't exactly impose himself, but what service did he have? We lost the midfield battle so comprehensively that he had little to work with. I feel we need to get someone closer to him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We lost the midfield battle so comprehensively that he had little to work with. I feel we need to get someone closer to him. This is precisely the issue. We didn't retain the ball in the final third well at all, so no opportunities for him to receive the ball in behind. There was absolutely zero quality going into the box from wide positions either, with both wingers putting a pathetic attacking display in and the fullbacks not looking particularly capable of delivering either (no surprises with Taylor). He could have put himself about more but he was really set up to fail by the performances of those around him. This for me is a growing concern, it's not Wesley, it's the midfield not delivering. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with that, but counterpoint, Davis came on when we had 10 men, and got very little service, but Davis still managed to impact the match. Wesley was barely moving up top. If the ball was not coming directly to him, Wesley was not putting in the effort. Guilbert played him a pass into space, and Wesley didn't even attempt to run for it. Wesley has 7 touches in the first 45 minutes with 1 completed pass. HORRENDOUS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
