Optimistic Nut Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Are people forgetting that he has the turning circle of a supertanker and the speed off the mark of Lisa Riley in cement? It'll take some fantastic coaching to disguise his basic weaknesses. He's got the physique, the right attitude but he's a fraction too slow to see what's happening too often and he's then too slow to make up for this. He recognised himself that he got caught napping for the Abraham chance and if Abraham had kicked the bloody ball we'd all be talking about what a soft goal we'd conceded. but he didn't blast it and Jamaal made the right tackle, so get the f out of here trying to find a way to criticize him after such a great performance. Weirdly miserable. Or just being realistic. Swansea didn't test us defensively. Merino was head and shoulders the best player on the pitch. If you want to be realistic only Man U and Man City who are 1st and 2nd have conceded less goals (2) in the league. We have conceded 3 so you can look at these facts and they say he has been part of a very good defence so far. 2 of those goals down to 10 men too while not looking like conceding up to that point. The other just a clever bit of football (despite the stick Merino got) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought agents and the manager to a lesser degree is supposed to be the buffer there? Mike must be terrified of calling Rafa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 If the season ended now Ashley pays £11m in bonuses? We're spending nowt next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElDiablo Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Putting aside his ability, which is not as bad as sometimes made out IMO, it's a pleasure to have someone with such good character representing the club as captain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

1964 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Might have been covered somewhere else, can't be arsed to look but listening to that dullard Redknapp trying to pronounce his name at the weekend is a sad reflection on sports broadcasting.

Elma Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Ritchie already celebrating? Good spot. On a related note, anyone see Clark prematurely celebrating Joselu's header in the first half?

Peder75 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 The hell is he negotiating the bonus for his squad for? such a weird f***ing club that the captain has to do this. That's quite usual in a lot of countries and sports around Europe. When it comes to player bonuses and player related stuff it is usually done by a player council (2-3 players) that represent the squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 The point I'm making is the press are saying he and Ashley hashed it out between themselves. Not like Lascelles told Charnely who then phoned Mike, and got it approved Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
