Lads, someone posted that he has always been immense and I said there was a time he wasn't.  That's all.   I'm not blaming him for it or anyone or anything. 

 

If I could be arsed to pick out his many howlers from the early pages on here I would and I would find them, you all know they are there. 

 

Its actually a positive for Sam to be honest as he obviously saw the potential in the lad.

Starting to take him for granted a bit now, to be honest. A consistently good performer which is a breath of fresh air when you compare him to some of the left backs we've fielded in recent times.

go ahead, even his mistakes came in games when he defended very well. i honestly cant remember a game when i've thought he got a run around off the opposition.

The thread jumps from August 07 to March 2010.  Anyway, never mind, I vividly remember him trying his 180 spins and getting brushed off the ball far too much. Bad passes and aimless long balls.

He definitely had bad passes, because I remember thinking that that was the only thing he really needed to sort out.

 

 

When it comes down to it though, the debate is pointless. Here and now we all can see how good he is.

The other José Enrique thread was named Joke Enrique for a long time, as there were quite a few people on here who thought his passing was dreadful. And statistics proved them right. But he was also among the players who attempted most passes, meaning he actually made himself available (you can't pass if you never receive the ball) -- or that the others didn't. And of course his passing would be shit if there was no one to pass to.

Aye, I'm never worried when the opposition's got the ball on their right hand side.

Not sure if that's what you meant though :lol:

I've been a fan of his ever since he joined. However I thought he was pretty against Manure but excellent against Villa, the link up play with Jonas is a huge part of our game, lets hiope both of them stay healthy.

Shouldn't really let his looks interfere with performance

The notion that Enrique being poor was a myth propogated by some journalist anxious to wave his prce tag in our faces: NUFC defender ergo flop.  Louise Taylor and some clown at ESPN soccernet (Norman Hubbard?) wrote him off as a bust the minute he was signed.  This lie held for a long time among fans who didn't see him very often-- maybe the reason (or one of the reasons) he's still with us.

 

Of course, Louise came around and is telling anyone who will listen that he's not as bad as they might remember.  But that's about as convincing as reading Ronaldo praise the improvement in Carroll's game.

I agree - I certainly dont think he was poor in his 1st year, he was more than decent actually - pretty class compared the left backs we had previously BUT his game has improved even further and his bloody brilliant now

 

It was a joke when Fat Sam would not play the lad even though he was our best left back by a country mile

The best thing to come out of Sam Allardyce's reign at NUFC....

 

Aye, the one thing we must thank him for. Then again, he basically gave up on him the stupid c***.

 

Calm down lads, Bi Sam also gave us the legend of Alan Smith
