foxfanazer Posted 20 August 2014 Share Posted 20 August 2014 Just wish Schlupp's chance had fallen to him instead. Would've capped an excellent performance. Always liked King but I can understand some of the criticism that is directed at him. I can't see him keeping James or Drinkwater out of the team but he's gave Pearson something to think about imo.

65RosesFox Posted 20 August 2014 Share Posted 20 August 2014 He could be terrible for the rest of the season so saying whether or not somebody has made the step up after one game is daft. not as daft as people saying he can't cut it in the Premier League before he has played a game....

MattyFromLE Posted 20 August 2014 Share Posted 20 August 2014 First LCFC player to represent us in 3 different divisions! I think he's an excellent player. Those saying "he goes missing..." etc I think are looking at King for the wrong attributes. His game isn't to run around like a headless chicken diving into tackles and playing 50 yard passes. Essential interceptions, and forward runs is more his trade I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corky Posted 20 August 2014 Share Posted 20 August 2014 It's important not to go overboard though. He's had a great debut in the Premier League and looked comfortable, but it needs to be done on a consistent basis. He deserves a lot of support as he's been an important player in turning the club around and getting us here and it would be fantastic for him to have a big season. He looks as though he's worked on his game over the summer and good on him for that, just hope it's a regular thing for him to be showered with praise.

Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot Posted 20 August 2014 Share Posted 20 August 2014 I've always liked Andy King but the current appraisal of him seems very unbalanced. He has been rightfully criticised in the past because he has had stretches where he has been a passenger in the team, that's hard to argue with for any fan who's been going down a while, he's been here a long time and had a lot of bad spells. He's also had some incredible runs of form. Just like the people who write him off because of a bad game or two, hailing him as the second coming because of a good one is just as stupid. Let's just get behind him and hope he can keep performing like he did against Everton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onions Posted 20 August 2014 Author Share Posted 20 August 2014 Videos gone I see, I'll see what the inevitable copyright is and remove that clip and try again later, but I agree with the above he does look confident in the ball and although it's inly a game in, for someone who you would expect to see behind James and Drinkwater he stepped up.

Fox Ulike Posted 20 August 2014 Share Posted 20 August 2014 Well yeah praise him for the performance but people have to get carried away don't they and some of those comments are cringe worthy OTT. I, for instance, would certainly stop short of comparing him to Frank Lampard and claiming anyone who has the nerve to suggest he isn't going to be good enough for this level is clearly wrong. There have been plenty of players who have looked good for a handful of games at this level who are in fact, completely shit, so keep the praise realistic. But yes hopefully he can carry on like that and actually warrant praise on the above scale! The praise he’s receiving is only in proportion to the criticism he received before the season started, ie “He’s just not good enough for the Premiership”. You were wrong. The End.

You were wrong. The End. Don't see how, I've never said a bad word about him. So good one. Although he could well turn out to be not good enough for this level so wind your neck in.

Manwell Pablo Posted 20 August 2014 Share Posted 20 August 2014 I don't think anyone's said that he's as good as Frank Lampard, or even that he will ever hit those heights. All people have done is say that his style of play is quite similar, in the same way that people said last season that Drinkwater's style of play is similar to Paul Scholes'. There's a big difference between comparing the style of two players and comparing their respective ability. Nah, think your speaking for yourself there, think a few people are actually compairing him directly to Frank Lampard, it's typical Foxestalk to be honest if the pendulum isn't swinging one way (Andy King's terrible) It's swinging the other (Andy King's an amazing Premeir League midfielder, after one good game) no chance of getting a balanced view off all but a small minority of posters.

Col city fan Posted 20 August 2014 Share Posted 20 August 2014 I've always liked Andy King but the current appraisal of him seems very unbalanced.

Let's just get behind him and hope he can keep performing like he did against Everton. Absolutely spot on. King (and Morgan) basically saved us from losing on Saturday. But the Prem is a marathon, not a sprint. One thing that the Everton game confirmed to me, being there and watching it live, was just how quick the Premiership is going to be. It's consistency of performances that will either save us, or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norfolkfox222 Posted 20 August 2014 Share Posted 20 August 2014 Ive thought for a while King will be a big positive in the Premier league! So far so good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted 20 August 2014 Share Posted 20 August 2014 This performance alone does not mean he's cut out for the Premier League, just like a relatively poor one from Knockaert doesnt mean he cant hack it in the Prem. As Col said - he saved us from defeat at Everton - let's take the positives from his game at Everton, move on, and get behind him and the rest of the team.

Mjeb Posted 20 August 2014 Share Posted 20 August 2014 I think kingl is a great player but did he duck down , when the first goal went in , and I saw him in a couple of tackles , not go in as hard has he could of , and lost out one in the box for the second goal !! Great player though Let's do the Chelsea and at 9/1 it's a good bet , I think they will probably loose though. Up the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScouseFox Posted 20 August 2014 Share Posted 20 August 2014 all in all i don't really see what's wrong with praising an academy product after a very good display in the premier league. maybe we just shouldn't comment until one of our lads win the ballon d'or or something.
