Very much a central strike from what I've seen at other clubs. I think he was bought for his versatility. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We'll no doubt have to play the reserves again in that one, which will make it a much trickier game. Seems very unfair that they haven't put it back a day to give us 3 days, no reason why they couldn't. It probably will still be moved. Feb fixtures still have to be arranged for TV I think.

Popular Post UpTheLeagueFox 10,493 Posted 17 January Popular Post Report Share Posted 17 January Leicester are only four points off where they were after 18 games of last season - third instead of second, two points off top instead of 10 behind - AND we've had the big injury crisis and UEL distractions. That's actually pretty impressive, especially considering we looked mentally shot by July. We're doing alright you know 29 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aside from the home blemishes of Villa Fulham West Ham I couldn’t have asked for a better season so far results wise. I still think we’re better than what we’ve shown so far this season too. Wait til our injuries are sorted and Brendan gets us firing on all cylinders properly, we’ll put some teams to the sword. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We do have ways round that though , the most likely of which seems to get more likely every game. A bit of extra coaching and a defined job as a scorer might be a bit of a challenge but HB is a trier and worker and I think he'd handle it well . He seemed under rated to me. I don't suppose he'll keep his current rate up but he could slip a bit and still run up 20 goals this season. And he does n't take penalties. He should certainly be practicing them along with who ever else is good in training but I'm sure thats being done already with this year's cup rules. I presume replays will be out even in the semis. Our defence is over strong (if there is such a thing) and with Pereira nearly back, and in JJ, and Castagne ,reliable and versatile ,plus hopefully. Under we've got wingers and probably cover. Luke Thomas also seems to be developing like Justin and is already almost regular first team quality. I think JV needs another effective presser helping out as well. No one else seems to work as hard at it as JV, certainly not Iheanacho when I've seen him; token challenges. When their back men have the ball what else can our striker (s) do ? JV is very good at it and conserves his energy very skilfully but its really a two man job. Thankless most of the time but it needs doing. The thing that worries me about buying in a striker is that buying a really good striker (the only kind worth buying ) is expensive and risky as even if you're lucky it usually takes a game or two to integrate them into a team, Teams often lose more than they gain for a while and with only half a season left even a hiccup for a couple of games might be too much. However BR is doing pretty well and however he tackles a problem he must be aware of will probably be good. The Leicester job was seen as full of potential when he joined us and surely he's already strengthened our prospects significantly.. One poster on here who seems to know his stuff reckoned we could go into the last 4-5 games well clear on points. I think I must have misread it but I hope not ,we've got a tricky run in.

Pretty obviously Pogba could only try one thing when his best chance came along and he did it well and ferociously. Chapman pointed this out politely. Should have kept it low said Shearer. Quite how even Messi could have kept that ball low defied analysis. I admired Shearer as a goal scorer but how three years of diving for free kicks at the end of his career followed fairly quickly by a spell trying to save Newcastle from relegation ( 5 points from a possible 24 was it ?) makes you wonder at how qualified he is for analysis. His f/c for L'pool Man U was 3-2. Murphy gave the game away. Funnily enough his scepticism about VAR would now find supporters . Unfortunately Lineker and others meant Shearer had turned a full 180 degrees gradually over the following 4 or 5 programs. I'd still like him teaching some of our guys heading though, he was good. If I sound a little harsh I read what the BBC pay him for MOTD and what Hansen 's return taxis London /lLiverpool cost. That's my license fee they're spending.

The club don't get the plaudits they should, even better the fact it puts to bed our title win being a freak. The club have rebuilt a different squad and are there again, in the end you just have to say the people running the club are nothing short of brilliant. 12 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RowlattsFox 2,532 Posted 18 January Report Share Posted 18 January I'm not expecting us to keep up with Liverpool, Man City and probably Man Utd enough to be involved in a title race. Hopefully we can keep in touch for as long as possible and see what happens. Focus needs to be on qualifying for Europe again. Whichever one it is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They have just got on with it and each and every one of them has stepped up. No complaining about the situation at all. We are doing brilliantly! They are a year older and a year more experienced and they trust in Brendan and his team. There is a confidence and belief now that they didn't have before. Wins against Arsenal, Man City and Spurs and a draw with Man Utd can't be ignored either. Add Chelsea to that tomorrow and that is blooming brilliant! 😉😁 Edited 18 January by Hales Quote Link to post Share on other sites
