Guest Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Aye he had the odd good game. I can’t remember him ever having an inflated opinion of himself or seeing reports of him being angry at not being picked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NG32 Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Not so much players but seeing players in wheelie bins and paddling pools for ice baths. We saw too much of that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Shola, Colback, Smith, Butt, S Taylor. They all spring to mind straight away Obertan seemed to play way more than he should have. May have only been 10 games, TBH. But in my mind, I remember him regularly playing, often keeping HBA out the team and 10 games is probably too many.

Broonytoon Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Sir Alex didn't usually cast off anyone that was still any good so yes Butt I personally didn't like Goldfish Boy although he is now quite a good pundit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truly up there with the worst CMs I've seen for us; just way, way off the pace. Can remember him getting absolutely done by Peter Halmosi at home to Hull (infamous post-KK game) and giving away a penalty, right in front of me. He was so finished. Stick the likes of a very past-it Smith, or a very past-it Geremi, or a never-PL-quality Guthrie in alongside him and, wow, it's a wonder we didn't finish rock-bottom. Horrifying stuff.

Guest Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 He was shit during that first season too. So much so that Souness saw the need to replace him with Amdy fucking Faye. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collage Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Obertan had probably the worst end product I’ve ever seen and he knew it himself. So that when he had sprinted 30 meters (and he was fast) with the ball he basically stopped playing because he knew that was all he could offer. Not a footballer.

Cronky Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Nicky Butt's body language had a way of telegraphing what he was going to do next. So he ended up making the pass that would have worked half a second before, but which was no longer on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
