Spoony 4,579 Report post Posted July 29 Pretty sure all the WHU fans warned us that NRC was shite. The only thing I really recall about him was a video of him being interviewed whilst having a very precise haircut. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KMitch 1,029 Report post Posted July 30 4 hours ago, Zatman said: Reo-Coker is one of the worst passers to play centre midfield for us, probably even worse than Jedinak NRC was the original bench-riding superstar... The longer he sat in the dugout, the better he got in some fans minds... For anyone to have a good memory of NRC at this point shows just how true this statement is... He was god awful. Would bust a gut to get the ball, just to completely wiff an 8' sideways pass to a teammate, and gift it to the opposition... He was MON's equivalent to Smith's O'Hare, Lambert's Helenius, and Bruce's Hogan. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was thinking, and although VAR is by no means perfect, I think it will help level out the top 4 bumming bias. If Niklas Helenius (or was it Libor Kozak) gets his pants pulled down again then it would likely be a penalty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wezbid 1,550 Report post Posted July 30 The Helenius pants incident makes me wonder if Vertonghen was tentatively trying to come out to the world. Good for him. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
