Let me take you on a journey. It's the new season and we're about 10 games in. Grosicki has done well and in the last 2 has scored a couple. Bummers rocks in his chair watching the highlights. "Goooood, gooood." He mutters to himself. "The plan is coming together nicely". Raising the laptop screen with a sense of sexual energy in the air, he loads up 606 and fingers the old threads to find the target. See. I was right all those months ago. He's good now. You shouldn't have passed comment like the way I didn't. Easing back into the chair and smiling, Bummers creams himself.
I was wondering why this thread wasn't making sense to me, as half the replies don't have the quotes attached due to an ignored poster. I really shouldn't have been surprised though.
Watching a different game to me , his final ball needs work but his touch most of the time is bang on , his pace and trickery alone is putting teams on the back foot (Elmo take note) .
That would all make sense, if I'd EVER said he was a good footballer. But other than that, good point well made.
You see, you really are missing out because they're all talking bollocks. I have never once said that said player is brilliant and if you weren't ignoring me you'd have known that. The fact that you wont read this reply isn't lost on me.
So what exactly is this plan you speak of and how I can be proven right? I've got no opinion on Grosicki as a footballer, because I haven't seen him play once in the flesh and only a handful of times on TV. I'd need to see him 20 times before I decided what his abilities are, and that was precisely the point I was making. If he turns out to be ****e or good, I have proven nothing.
I didn't think he was great last night, wasn't awful by any means, but not in the same class as Clucas, N'Diaye, Markovic, Niasse and Hernandez going forwards. As some others have mentioned, I don't think he's best suited on the left, he is too one dimensional on that side, cutting back in to get the ball across, like a certain Jock who we won't name, a couple of times he rinsed Barragan but failed to get the ball across as his left is obviously weaker. He's obviously not ****, and has something to offer us for sure, but as a left winger, I remain to be convinced and if Markovic is rested / dropped at any point i'd like to see him on the right wing where his excellent assist came from last night
I value all the comments on a players ability and how we played from those who have only listened to the game on the radio, watched MOTD or on a dodgy stream.
A few times he did get the ball across it was calling out for Abel to tap in! He'd have had a couple more if he'd not gone off? the way turbo gets into those positions is the real art! He's got a great touch! But not on the money with his end product!
Assuming (big assumptions) that we stay up and retain our best players and the injured ones get fit, then we'll actually have a squad with some depth. At the moment it's hard to see where THudd, Mason or Elmo would fit into the first XI.
If we stay up and Moses comes back from injury as strong as he was before it he'll be like a new £10m signing. He pretty much matched Robertson when we were in the Championship and is much better than elmo both defensively and going forward. Keep the squad and the manager we currently have and things could be very exciting. If only the Allams would **** off!
Far more valuable than comments from silly ****s who moan about the Allams but continue to pay them a fortune anyway.
So growshitski didn't find a man with every ball. So posters seriously believe every cross should be on. Aforwards head and agoal?? **** me. Ryan gigs probably beat his full back more times than any modern winger but Man U didn't win every game 10-0 FFS. How many corners did growshitski win after a desperate lunge by the rb? How many times did he drag the full team up the pitch and made their whole team shag their guts out getting back? It's a ****ing damn site easier running forward to support than slogging back. Wingers are more wasteful than a CM knocking it backwards and square, cos they're trying to play the killer ball, the killer cross or cutting in and having a shot Ye his shot didn't hit the target but **** me weve been gunshy for ****ing years about shooting. More power to him. I saw coutinho do that drag along the back four to try and curl that angled shot against us about five times without success. So he must be ****?? But then against Everton he does it and it works. So he's hero to pool who are willing to accept he can't do it every game. While we'll have silly ****s mentioning the four missed efforts rather than the goal.
It's definitely an added perk with Moses (hopefully) returning. I do wonder also what Marco could do with Keane too.
