The College Dropout Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Anita, Saylor & Obertan taking up valuable wage space. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 The obsession with Obertan on this forum man He was nothing like Obertan for goodness sake! Obertan is scared of his own shadow and is so crippled by fear when he plays that he doesn't even dare to run at people or even attempt to dribble the ball. It's a crazy comparison. This guy had greater urgency and impetus than pretty much everyone else on the team yesterday, and it was his first prem game images! Not to mention his debut for a new club. That in itself should let you know he was the least of our problems. He'll be just fine. Showed he had some guts yesterday at least, when no one else bothered to turn up.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 He did remind me of Obertan, not saying he'll be as bad long term but that was what came to mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 A wide pace merchant who doesn't score and doesn't really assist. Going to result in comparisons to the big O. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incognito Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 All these 5.5 year deals lol. When will we learn? The 5.5 year deals potentially benefit us as well. But then I'm guessing you knew that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elliottman Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 The lad had absolutely zero support when he carried the ball forward, dummet supported him once and ended up falling on his stupid face. Perez, wini and shelvey never provided an option in advanced areas either. kid was probably wondering what the fuck he'd joined. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hakka Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 The Obertan comparisons are very harsh. His close control under pressure and carrying of the ball was very good. He didn't end up with much support when he had it down the left and lack of decent end product when on the right. He's barely played in ages so he will need time to gel and find his form, which I imagine won't be long. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anon Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Think everyone is forgetting Obertan's consistent kicking the ball against full backs shins then fouling him to get the ball back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varadi Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Had a quiet game but them none of our lot played well. Think Coleman is one of the fastest right backs in the league which neutralised his pace, should do better against whichever centre half Pulis has playing full back tomorrow.
