I don't think I have ever seen a sentence to sum up Adama Traore of Wolves better than...

He was utter dogshit tonight! As crap against £200 defenders as he is £20m ones. 

[Nicolo Barella]

Is it too early to put up an "expectations for this season" thread? I want to post it to see your opinions, mainly how many of you actually want this season to be the one we break into the Top 6.

That stat for us is heavily skewed by essentially what was a nice and easy season run in.

Arsenal are the most top heavy side in the league by a mile. They'll have some silly scores this year.

 

Naturally they'll beat us at home with a late goal. I think that applies if we have Messi and Ronaldo start for us.

Do you not rate him at all then? 

[The Bear]

I was hoping he'd be better, but he has no footballing brain, his crossing is erratic and he often beats himself trying to run too quick with the ball. 

 

There's a player in there somewhere but he needs to be hugging the touchline playing on the wing rather than up front or RWB which is the only two options he has for us.

A few of us said this. Was a bit surprised by the love in on him last Summer

Apart from the “beats himself by trying to run too quick with the ball” bit - you could be talking about Jeff Schlupp there

Just a tweet from a fan page, but found this bloody hilarious.

We said the same about Jeffrey Schlupp and are now 3 years in to the same problem with Demarai Gray.

Still one of the greatest clips I've ever seen. It's like a fcukin goal kick.

I laughed so hard I almost choked. Genuinely one of my favourite moments watching football. 

 

I do miss us having players like Jeff, Bamba, Schlupp and Knocky that for different reasons would just do some of the most mad, funny shit. 

 

The best we have now are Maguire and Morgan’s marauding runs. Wes' are the best because the ball just bobbles everywhere.

Is there another Jeff? Bruma?

Did that ball ever come back down to Earth? or is it lost on the moon

It must have reached Ceres by now, I'm sure some OPA beltalowda are starting a five a side team with it as we speak.

I would love to see clips of Schlupp’s funniest moments. I have at least 3 that I remember clearly. 

 

1. Running the ball out of play at Stoke away for a goal kick.

2. Playing West Ham at home the subs board with number 15 goes up and Schlupp starts walking off he gets to the centre circle and one of our players has to tell him it’s a West Ham sub. 

3. West Brom away in the great escape he’s got the ball with acres of space in front of him and he just stands still not knowing what to do. The whole way end starts gesturing waving their arms shouting at him to run down the wing.

When we achieved survival at the final whistle and he didn't have a clue

My personal favourite was Ranieri going mad and playing him as a number 10 for about 15 minutes in a home game, I think against Crystal Palace. 

 

Receives the ball, back to goal 35 yards out and just stands there. Never have I heard so many people shout “TURN” at the same time.

When we drew with Sunderland to stay up and the players all started celebrating and Jeff had no idea why 

[Dan]

There was a cracking thread on Jeff. It's a superb read.

 

God I loved him  you actually can't put a price on entertainment like it.

Just heard on Talk Sport that a fan made a fortune selling small sheets of Sandpaper to fans for mockery purposes in the cricket. Next time City play Deli Alli's Spurs I'll be there bright and early with boxes of tissues!
