Ste Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Needs a bit of time to get used to playing in the middle in the Premiership in fairness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 This is what he was brought here for. Some really good moments today and was harshly penalised a few times by Chris Foy too. Should only get better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Chris Foy was a right fucking knob at times today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Crooks Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 I'm just surprised people are surprised that Anita and Sissoko can play together in central midfield, no one was probably more surprised than our tactical genius manager "whaaa?" Shame it takes a primadonna prettyboy to go on strike for him to even consider it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 This is what he was brought here for. Some really good moments today and was harshly penalised a few times by Chris Foy too. Should only get better. Agree about Foy, thought he reffed well today but some of the ones he gave against Sissoko were so so soft. Moussa was imperious today, very impressive and hopefully an end to playing him as a no.10 or a right winger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bimpy474 Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Needs to be played in CM, breaking forward. Made for that role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

themanupstairs Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Needs to be played in CM, breaking forward. Made for that role. Bringing Cabaye on and taking Marveaux out freed him up in the second half. Marveaux was playing too central and they were stepping on each other's toes. Gouffran stayed out wide and gave Sissoko the space to run into. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHoob Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Chris Foy was a right f***ing knob at times today. Yeah he made some perfectly good tackles which were pulled back just because he was stronger. Thought he was brilliant today though, MotM behind Ben Arfa for me.

Yorkie Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Played in his correct position and played well, then? Really glad to hear it. The guy's quality so he'll be a huge asset if he's used properly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy's quality so he'll be a huge asset if he's used properly. Aye, thought he was very good. Gave away a fair amount of free kicks but mostly unfairly just because he crushed his opponent.

Cajun Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 The problem with this league is if you are bigger than another player all the opposition has to do is throw themselves on the floor when you are challenging each other and they will get a freekick. Not sure why some refs deem a player being more physically imposing a kind of cheating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Loved that stiff-arm of Sidwell(?) in the 58th minute. My only qualm was that he should've continued his run into the box when he dumped it off to HBA. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 6/10 'struggled to get involved' say Sky. 4th most touches of the ball for us, 6th out of everyone. Most passes out of anyone for us, 3rd most out of everyone. Classic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 I'm going to love watching him storm forward like a train - better movement and attacking gusto up top and those moves will pay off into goals. His decision making will most definitely improve as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Crooks Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 6/10 'struggled to get involved' say Sky. Haven't paid attention to what they say before or after a game since they posted a probable lineup with Sol Campell as a wingback. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy's quality so he'll be a huge asset if he's used properly. Aye, thought he was very good. Gave away a fair amount of free kicks but mostly unfairly just because he crushed his opponent. Oh man I swear like non of his so-called fouls were freekicks. Referee today would have given a foul for blowing on someone today. Powerful performance. Impressive that he was still bombing forward in injury time. Just waiting for the day he drives into space and unleashes a thunderbastard of a shot into the top corner. Feel like it's got to happen soon or later Oh and finally, amazing how much more comfortable he is in the position we were all desperate for him to play in. Non of this wide right/number 10 bollocks.
