Tiresias Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 I am excited about Almiron but a bit concerned everyone is expecting the world from him straight away. He's barely played for a month and is new to the league. He may take time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tribesman Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 It would be nice to have a specialist free kick taker in the team. We haven't had one since Robert. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Ryan Taylor? Cabaye? Emre? We've had Nobby again since Robert too although can't remember him scoring many freekicks on his return Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Can't really remember Ryan Taylor being very good at them. He came in with a big reputation for it but he never really seemed to threaten with them. Even the one he scored was an overhit cross. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Yeah Cabaye is the only specialist since Robert I'd say. Gayle, Shelvey and Atsu all scored one in the Championship season, not sure if there were any others. Don't think there was one last season*, or this (although Rondon did smack one against the bar against Wolves). *edit, Saivet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tribesman Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Scored 5 for us. I honestly only remember his free kick against Man United. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 I feel like we don't get a great deal of free-kicks in those areas these days tbh. Probably cos Rafa's fucking shit or something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tribesman Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 I still wouldn't call Cabaye a free kick specialist if he has only scored 5 goals from them maybe closer to 20 goals is a better reflection of such abilities. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ameritoon Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Cabaye took the piss that entire West Ham game. One of the best individual performances we've had over the last decade. Then he left, of courses Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_NUFC Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 We need to get Juninho Freekickandinho out of retirement and sign him, he was pretty crap at everything except taking insane freekicks in the French league, if I recall correctly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not calling you out, I’m genuinely curious. I can hardly remember what happened during the last match, let alone who scored when versus whom.

Cross-shot at the Mackems and one that squirmed in against Atromitos. He could only really score em against Given. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atsu was v Cardiff in the 2-0 Gayle's was v Reading, a sweet thunderbastard from about 30 yards Shelvey's I think was against either Brighton or Huddersfield I can't remember what's going in work on a day-to-day basis without getting my mind jogged but for some reason I can remember this shit no problem, I fucking hate my brain.

Yorkie Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Can only remember the Sunderland one but Emre was a cracking player on his day, like. Close control, pace, tenacity - would love someone like him in the set up now. Just couldn't play with Parker and couldn't stay fit. Plus he was, you know, a racist.
