skinnymate1690 782 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 First 25 mins were decent , we fell off after that. Silva was a positive i think, however i think i think he will be best in a 10 rather than our main striker. Matondo took his goal well and thought ridvan was decent. Tav looked really off it tonight , dunno if he has a knock or something . Set pieces were rough as well. Albion 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen a talent as good as Laudrup play for us (though i've said a few times i wish i'd seen Cooper play). Gazza was a maverick, and brilliant, but Laudrup was so consistent. At his peak he apparently wouldn’t get a game ahead of Jonny Hayes and Niall McGinn though.

Laudrupsleftfoot 12,242 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Won’t read too much into these bounce games. The way I see Clement’s start is he’s rightly simplified Beale’s over complicated nonsense, and gone more direct both in terms of getting the ball up the park in fewer passes and playing more long balls. That only gets you so far though. Needs to get more out of a few and/or bring in three or four clear upgrades. BlueAvenger 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

From that you've made your mind up we can get better than a guy Wolves were happy to spunk 35 million on? seeing as your quoting him as a £35 million player don't you think a £35 million player should have easily done far better tonight surely he would have been a stand out not only in our team but on the pitch as a whole BlueJacketRFC 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was an absolute privilege to watch a player of his calibre play for us, and amazing that we signed him. Would be an 80m plus player today. He scored a similar but even better goal against Aberdeen. Probably the only player in my lifetime who would have got a game for any team on the planet at the time they played for us.

He was initially deployed as out centre forward. He had fuck all service so started coming deep to receive the ball. He had some very nice bits of play when he did. You could have Ronaldo standing up front on his own and the outcome would have been more or less the same.

Absolutely dreadful relying on some of these diddies when we’re in a genuine title race. Think this is our lowest goals per game going back to the 17/18 season. Butland’s been great and the starting back 4 is actually pretty decent with some good cdm options. But the front 4 as a group are as poor as we’ve had for years.

Im sure Ronaldo has done that at some point, but its not something you see every day.. 35 million or not. Remember also, that FCK got out of a group containing Bayern, Man utd and Galatasaray.

Far far more chance of scoring from them! 34.9% of inswinging crosses from corners led to a shot in that passage of play, compared to a very healthy 44.4% of outswingers.

bluenoz 32,494 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Silva was the best player by a mile. He's not a striker, that's clear to see, but he is skilful. Would love to see him with Danilo in April or hopefully next season. Whoever is giving out the MOTM is a joke. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
