Bimpy474 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 The way people are talking the CB's in the Championship are doorman for the hardest nightclub from planet Bruce Lee. FFS, he'd be fine in the Championship, well when he's on the pitch and not suspended, or rolling around like a fairy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 I don't think it was intentional, but a definite straight red any day of the week. Nasty tackle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 I think he intended to leave a bit on Walker, but maybe not as bad as it turned out. Either way a rank challenge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 It feels like some are viewing the Championship as some sort of semi-pro carry-on league. It's not, obviously. Today's s*** won't pass and the ref thing wouldn't pass anywhere. I was very surprised the ref was so lenient, today. That's quite interesting, as the difference between the level of quality in the prem and the Championship is routinely described as a gulf or chasm It is a chasm, but it's the strikers with pace or clever movement who will tend to give championship defenders more trouble I would have thought, I'm not sure they'll have much problem with someone who's strong and decent in the air. Most championship defenders are okay in that department I'd have thought. Fair comment, speedster types with limited skill levels have done well the likes of Harewood. Just feel it would be mad to bin a physical type like Mitro without trying him.out there. In Rafa we trust, hopefully I don't think we should bin him at all, even though I've been critical of his finishing. I'm just not convinced yet that he's got enough goals in him despite some good attributes. Benitez likes to play with one striker, so that striker has to be a 20 goals a season man for me.

TRon Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 So what do you want to do then? Buy a striker with pace who can finish and let them both compete for the lone striker role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karjala Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Apart from one or two missed chances I think he's slowly improved over the season. He will be getting a lot more chances next year if he does stay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought watching the way Rafa uses subs they are pretty important in their own right. Also Rafa likes to rotate his strikers quite a lot from what I'v read. A player has to really earn his place in the side week in week out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mighty__mag Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Shearer wasn't exactly an angel. Always played the model pro, but would on numerous occasions ruff many a defender up. Mitrovic is a bit of a nob, but I'd rather have him up top over Cisse, and Perez has been a shadow of his first season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sho Time Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Dunno, from what I saw it looked like he only had eyes for the ball and was trying to plant his left foot to shield it, Walker just got there a tad quicker. The force at which he did it though would be reckless so would agree with the red, although I don't think it was a deliberate stamp. Totally agree with this. Watch his face and his eyes are always following the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
