Facundo Ferreyra Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 I could be talking complete shite here but this lad could seriously turn out to be the best centre back that has ever played for this club. He's an absolute fucking rock Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heron Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 7 hours ago, greydos said: I know this is ambitious and would likely cost loads of money, but could you make a small flag of all the players and staff the size of the ones with 2 poles (they look about 3m by 2m on the tv, it been to a game since Wolves last year), and give them out to the full gallowgate stand to recreate one of the dressing room photos? We could do, but we actually have a dressing room image already too which we've used. Could be a shout though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginola Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Crazy to say, but he's probably close to top 3 CBs in the league already? VVD, Dias, Saliba, Romero up there too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 He really does remind me of Ivan Drago. More than Haaland, even. Just looks like he was built in a lab/is a real life Terminator. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Spaceman Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Really like this bloke. He's everything we wanted him to be and more - reads the game well, composed on the ball, good passer and already looks like he has the physical attributes to go far. All that at the age of 22!

I know it upset many at the time, but that was one of the few sales where I'd have been like Ashley - bundling him into the helicopter and taking Dalglish's stupid offer. Carroll always looked like a 'purple patch' player to me. Difference is I would have reinvested it. Oh, and Botman is a bargain at 35m - what a player.

Smal Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 From centre backs, only Ake ahead of Botman on xThreat from passes (basically how dangerous their passes are), and Man City players are always at an advantage from how much possession they have. Amazing. Trippier Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would expect it just means performing actions that reduce your team's xg e.g. receiving the ball with your back to goal, being blocked and playing a pass back to deeper midfield to retain possession. Rather than actively increasing your opposition's chance of a goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
