Not that I can really remember the details, but he’s like a ballet dancer and matador combined, almost never gives the ball away or makes a mistake. Iniesta is probably my favourite ever player though, the combination of movement with the ball and passing and finishing is very, very rare. It was the acceleration too. He'd just draw players in then leave them for dead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was given a copy of Mein Kampf as a Christmas present by the “lads” - top banter.. Think that was the same year that either Pistone or Domi was given a sheeps heart, to suggest the player had no heart for the rough and tumble of the premier league.. There was more too, can’t remember right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Jinx Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 There’s a mirror article which couldn’t be arsed to link but was Pistone who got the sheeps heart, Ketsbaia got a hairbrush and Duncan Ferguson got a prison shirt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gjohnson Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 If we want to talk about under-rated then Robert Lee has got to be up there. One of the best in our best teams in living memory, but never gets mentioned at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingxlnc Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Roy Keane often says that the likes of Rob Lee and David Batty were 'proper' midfielders who were amongst the toughest competitors he ever faced in the PL. He also said that about Tim Sherwood. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a brilliant right foot, but he's not a good defender. stats like this are nonsense though. he's played pretty much every game this season, in a team that has a ton of possession, where a lot of the play goes down his side. not to mention he's on set pieces. so naturally he's going to have a lot of touches that end up as "lost possession".

AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 I mean, it's losing possession if you make a cross and a defender clears it, I guess? It's not a very meaningful stat unless it's combined with information on how possession was lost. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
