James Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 I don't think there was any intention. He had the ball, he lost control of it for a split second so he instinctively went to get it back. It is a part of his game that shouldn't be curbed as it is the same drive that is making him win matches for us at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Henry Winter is having a whinge about it on Twitter too. Something about a leopard not being able to change it's spots. Typical bullshit from Winter. Typical bullshit? Winter is one of the best journalists out there. He also has a massive soft spot for us too. I do agree that his comments are wrong on this occasion though. He tweets a load of crap about us a lot. Caulkin is a much better journalist, in both writing style and when he is writing about us or Sunderland. No he doesn't. He tweets a lot of stuff about Ashley and Llambias destroying this club, in which he's right. He's got nothing but praise for us as a group of supporters and the history of our club.

toontownman Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Truely think an England call up is on the cards, provided he keeps fit and doesnt do anything stupid. Absolutely immense today from start to finish, he was still busting a gut in the 93rd. Loved the ovation he got from all parts of the ground when taking set pieces. Few would have seen this coming a couple of years ago, even if some of us knew he had the talent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinny Green Balls Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Anybody who still wants him sold should be conventionally impaled via the rectum, or if we are feeling a bit more merciful, crucified with two bent nails through the scrotum. Brilliant player on his day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Crackers how people still want him in the centre. I know. He is absolutely tailor-made for his current role. I'd be incredibly surprised if he 'doesn't like' it either. It's not his 'favourite position' but he's essentially playing two different roles, and that's a credit to his stamina and energy - which are both just as brilliant as his technique. He drifts central when we're attacking (even floating towards the left at times), but he's always chasing back to the wing when we have to defend. He's playing superbly at the moment. His best run of form without a shadow of a doubt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ_NUFC Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 When will he get called up for England? I was thinking that today when he helped Simpson out on the right byline by playing the pass with the outside of his right boot. In a way it's good he's not been noticed by the England camp, but it'll also do his confidence a world of good if he gets called up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I'd say he is close if not back to the form he was on when he was at his best for Man City. Playing a much different role now and a more rounded player. Evident from the commentators today the press is backing off a little. (until he does something stupid again!)

AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 He's miles better than Gareth Barry and probably as good as Carrick at the moment. He deserves a chance IMO, though I won't be gutted if he's free to concentrate on us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
