State of that shot...

IT'S LIKE RAIIIIIIIAAAIIN

He's never convinced me as a deeper attacker. He's not built for strength and hold-up play, his decision-making is and always has been abysmal and now his technique seems to be disappearing too. Great finisher and movement, but not fit for Rafa's system as a number ten and I fear he won't cut it as a solitary striker. Shame as I really like him and was pretty exited about him a few years ago....

balls going out wtf

Surely it's Coloccini at defensive mid

You fucking sadist.

His goals are great. Absolutely smashes them in. First goal here too:

If Rafa stays he stays IMO So doubly shite if he leaves...

His goals are great. Absolutely smashes them in.

Our right back looked good. Great technique. Little red boots looked really good. Always having a go.

Rafamatic 3000

Great crest!

He brought in on himself, the fucking moron.

Great run, he actually looked fast. Composed as fuck

YEEESSSS§!!!!

Lanzini: "Why would you do that...?"

Get in! Lush goal

Krul.

o-i-e-i-oo-oo-oo I'm Blaahdy Joselu Forgot all about that video :lol: gotcha:

From oatcakefanzine: He was brilliant away at Swansea and Watford. Scored a beast of a header at Bournemouth too. He moves around looking for the ball and making runs. That's what takes him out wide and makes people think he's 'wandering.' He gets himself in the game by moving wide, dropping short and constantly making himself avaliable, completely the opposite of what Berahino does which is why he's so hapless. Gets assists too by moving around, away at Everton, West Brom and home to Norwich too. In our team (unless you're Crouch) then standing around in the middle of the pitch being constantly marked will render you as useless as Berahino. He'll score plenty at Newcastle if he's given a run meanwhile we'll be relegated persisting with our current options. Could he perhaps be used as a shadow striker behind Gayle/Perez? With those attributes he should play nicely alongside one of them.

De Jong up front should be interesting. Not like we have many options though tbh

Aye, and Ritchie in the number 10

"Attempted cross cum shot"

Darlow, Mbemba, Aarons, Murphy, Merino, Diame, Lascelles, Gamez on.

"Ritchies' just trying to help him up..." Yeeeahhh
