Nobody Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 I always enjoy watching the opposition right winger try and get the ball off him when he's trapped in the corner with nowhere to go which inevitably ends in Enrique skipping away with the ball in the opposite direction down the touchline. Aye , it used to be risky when he wasn't used to the pace of english football, but he seems to act faster now and it really show. Inevitable that he comes away with the ball, usually playing a good cross or keeping possession. Seems to combine well with anyone who can pass too. And Jonas as well, tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Cracking player. He's just about the only one - along with Taylor and probably Barton if he gets his act together - who i can genuinely look at when he's playing and think; "f***ing hell - he really is a class above this league". Don't you think that with Harper? Not in the slightest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 His crossing is more hit than it is miss nowadays imo; and that's not just cos we've dropped down a division. The bend and whip in the ball he gets is superb; there was a couple last night that led to nothing - if only for the simple fact we had no one in the box. Infact, the delivery into the box was really good all the way through the second half last night - we should have won by a lot more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 We are lucky that he wanted to stay, he is not going to here all pissed off unlike maybe Jonas and Colo might be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 If we keep him, Taylor and Coloccini together we'll concede very few in this league If we have Smith playing like he did last night also, I agree. I think the lack of Nicky Butt also is a factor in our new found defensive capability. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The Libertine Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 a full season in this league could be the making of him. if he keeps progressing as he is he'll be a killer next year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 We are lucky that he wanted to stay, he is not going to here all pissed off unlike maybe Jonas and Colo might be. I don't like the fact that people on this board seem incapable of giving praise to one player without being vindictive about another. Coloccini and Jonas would both walk into a championship best Xl and showed against Palace how important they are to us. The Jury is still out on Jonas' attitude but Coloccini has demonstrated a willingness to adapt and work hard recently. I'm very, very glad that both are still here.

Ronaldo Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 I don't see how, his concentration isn't bad and he rarely makes position errors. His lack of strength and pace is a problem but he appears to be adapting well and has definetly taken a more cynical approach in his first few championship games. Of course people like you will never give him a chance, you'll have a go at him constantly at the game then argue that every goal we concede is his fault, it's pathetic. Stop listening to Lawrenson and actually watch him, if of course you agree that it's possible to defend well without last ditch tackles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakka Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 It's hard to tell if Enrique has really moved up that much or whether the lower standards of the Championship is making him look better, but I think he is always getting better and I'd love him to stay. I think he is a key player for us and he has hit a few decent crosses when getting forward of late, so if he can keep improving this and perhaps add a few goals I'd be over the moon. He has got better positionally and defensively over time, perhaps not as fast as we'd like but he hasn't been here long and he is only 23 years old. He needs our support right now to keep his confidence high. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

J7 Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 He was getting better and better throughout last season, so its not just the drop in quality that makes him look good. Didn't think last night was his best game with a few sloppy passes, but in defending he couldnt be faulted. He just needs to concentrate and keep improving at the same rate and he will become a top top player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leazes1986 Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Find it hard to believe that we've managed to keep a player of his ability in this league. He's absolute streets ahead of most players in this league. If we manage to go up first time and hold onto him we would have done great, because we will not find a better left back than him to sign for us even if we go straight back up. He has a lot of potential. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest antz1uk Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 does this not just go to show the standard of football in the primera league is just average and on a par with the championship? the 4 spanish players we have (including xisco) were outstanding in their league over there, no matter what we say they were all fans favourites in their respective teams, even bloody luque was!

Guest Phil K Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Coloccini is an accident waiting to happen, even in this league. He's making the same mistakes, but getting away with them in the Chumpionship. That goes for the rest of the team too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always though Enrique's strength has been one of his strongest points of his game, he lacks acceleration not pace. I think his decision making has improved a lot, he seems to be making the right passes at the right time, he knows when he pass short and when he needs to go long.
