toontownman Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Motivation, determination and concentration have always been the three pitfalls of Shola's game for me. I'd add passion, but its not something I think he lacks, its just he doesnt show it all the time, even when its there. My biggest pet hate with Shola, isnt just his often lazy approach but his big goofy grin that he displays regardless of the score, more often when we are losing!. I cant understand why someone hasnt taken him aside and slapped him around a little or alot and told him to knuckle down. He needs to get angry and at least look like he wants it. The man could be a beast but always looks like he is giving 70%. He has enough tools to succeed when his brain is engaged. The one catalyst we do have here is the fans and the fact he is one of them. I think we will always be able to get a little bit more out of him, where he would fail at other clubs. He is on a confidence high right now, but we need to keep him pushed up there by supporting him. I think old habits die hard and he will never be the player he could be, like Carroll though he might be enough to get us back where we want to be, if we get there the three pitfalls will have to be gone otherwise he will be. Shearer did that around 2003 I think If he gets the job and does it every week we could get somewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I hear as we speak Shola is strapped to a bed as a priest being funded by Boro tries to exorcise the spirit of Pele thats posessimg him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Smoggie mate hates Shola cos he always scores against them, even when he was shit. Now that he's the new Shearer (but better - black power!), he's even more worried.

He used to do this don't you remember and he used to have a go at the ref loads as well. Bobby told him he had to stop it and had to show off his big smile instead. Wor Bobby knows best.
