He would have made a very good Ronaldo-light CF today given he was over 6ft, very direct, two footed and so strong. He lacked the genuine pace and dribbling to be an effective wide player/winger today. Robert likewise who could have played a CF role without being a CF in today’s game. Ginola could never ever have did what ASM did to Everton in that second half, nor Robert. HBA could have, but strength wise on the ball, ASM, you can only stop him in full flight or even at a slower pace, by kicking and fouling him. Unplayable really when he’s in that groove… I've seen Ginola tear the arse of teams more than ASM did Everton in the 2nd half. Boro and Stoke in 95 - his performance against Boro is still the most virtuoso display I've ever seen - It was a much more physical sport then, tackles were allowed - but its also just my personal preference for his style over ASM and HBA's. Was much more controlled and deliberate for me. Cryuff over Giggs sort of thing. Ginola was in the European team of the year when we signed him, had tore the arse of Barcelona for PSG, was the best player in this country initially, was third in PFA player of the year for us and won it with Spurs.

One of the few (maybe the only) times that season pardcunt played with Cabaye-Anita-Sissoko in the middle and HBA-Cisse-Remy in front, which was the lineup I was craving. We play good, win the game and next game we are back with Sissoko on the wing and HBA on the bench... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pardew man ... for his mismanagement of the talent we had at that time, he will always be the worst for me. The guy was despicable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 (edited) I've been critical of him In a couple of games earlier on, but it's been justified imo. Would I have dropped him? Never ever in a million years. Great to hopefully see him being back to his best, and maybe even on yet another level. Go on son! Going forward.. Even if he isn't at his best or doesn't succeed with much then other players will still get more space because of him.
