Lazarus Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Its weird though that being supremely gifted at something doesnt automatically translate into being world class. On a slightly related note, when i was at high school, we had a player who was so good he used to tackle his own teammates as he would frustrated at how crap the rest of us were. We werent, its just he was operating on a level way beyond the rest of us. Everyone, and i mean EVERYONE thought he would go on to be a pro in the higher levels of the game but of course he didnt. Did he love tabs? Few lads at my school, two in particular were operating at a level way beyond their age, but they couldn't resist a Lambert & Butler and a shot on the bucket set hidden behind the oak tree at the bottom of the school grounds He met a lass in high school, got a job when he left and settled down. Never played again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitely Content Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Still one of the most entertaining players playing the game. Saint-Maximin is brilliant but he's not quite on Hatem's level for me. Anyone who claims to enjoy or love football has to simply admire him. This. I was always a bit mystified with a section of the fan base, mostly online mind, that seemed to want to do down his ability. Just enjoy what you’re watching, he’s a one in a million type of footballer. It's happening (albeit online) with ASM lately too. After that Brighton game he was criticised insanely harshly given what he's done for us. It's almost as if certain people lurk in the shadows awaiting an excuse to complain.

TBG Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Yeah but where's his defending highlight reel? Far too forward for my liking. Even 915 miles away he's left Dummet exposed. Get rid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinitely Content Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Good goal, his ability to change direction is superb. His game is such a blend between power/pace contrasted with subtle, artful movements. The master. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEEJ Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 An absolute HBA classic tbf That's ludicrous. He's pretty much flip-flapped the defender on the edge of the box then rifled it into the bottom corner. What a bloke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallsendmag Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Such a talent! He could have had an incredible career here if only he'd been managed properly. I don't doubt he would have been hard to handle, but the best players usually are. Just unlucky for him that the 2 managers he had in England were Alan Pardew and Steve Bruce. We're already seeing the negative impact Bruce is having on ASM, the nearest type of player we currently have to HBA. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
