loki679 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Good quote, i really think a lot of players we've had were not bad, they were just coached and managed by clueless twats. This has been suggested previously on here and when you consider the environment involved the likes of Pardew, Carver and his pie eating friends then it would only be a fool who would disagree with Rafa. It was so common we even came up with our own verb for it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
matta Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Tought he was really good vs Brighton. Will be pushing for a place in the first 11 if he stays, based on last game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 The environment was not right for them in that they were in the Premier League and now they're in the Championship And he's good enough for the championship as a squad player at the very least, which is all that matters until next Summer. The coaching argument definitely holds a lot of weight though. If you go back to the early pages of this thread, people liked him as a player; during his first few months he was decent and provided good movement and a bit of a goal threat. That was all coached out of him gradually in the proceeding years (he's not the only one either) but there's nothing to say Benitez and his team can't get something out of him again. He's been okay so far this season and I'd rather have him in the squad than not right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Still not sure what anyone thinks he gives us besides a lot of running about. Anyone can do that, and I'd rather it was someone with talent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 He's always had a decent long distance shot on him, scored a great goal against Leeds a few years ago. Just not good enough to be in a position to shoot very often. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miercoles Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 He is going to get himself a nice little stack of goals from midfield this season. I thought he was canny when he first arrived and I think we'll see more if that now that he's not being played in the holding role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
