Sums it up nicely. I went for Lamptey if you interpret the question as “who from this list of players will prove the best VFM signing during their time at the club?”
Yep, it’s a sign of how well we’ve adapted to the PL that no player (or team) has been allowed to tear us to shreds in quite the same way those two did in our first season. It was almost cruel how unrelenting they both were in the latter stages of those games, just continually driving at our...
His distribution was actually as good as I can recall seeing from him yesterday, no hurried panic passing, all very composed and accurate in some pretty tight areas. If you were watching them for the first time you wouldn’t have been able to pick between Dunk & Duffy on that front.
Still can’t quite get my head round Cucurella being that young. Not only does he look a few years older, he plays like someone with 300+ games at the highest level under his belt. Such a brilliant coup for the club.
Agreed - would’ve been very uncharacteristic of our approach play under Potter to whip in a looping cross from that sort of position. It’s just not something our players generally do, especially in a post-Murray era.
I enjoy the novelty of being able to drink from your seat when watching football abroad in places like Germany, it's great, but I'd quite like to keep it just that, a novelty. Not sure it's gonna particularly add to the Amex experience, really, and as already mentioned the potential downsides...
Veltman not even making the Dutch squad these days? Feels a bit harsh given he's barely put a foot wrong for us, regularly playing against tougher opposition than he did in Eredivisie. But I'm guessing there are others with youth a little more on their side getting in ahead of him.
Is Sarmiento definitely in the Ecuador squad? Can't see anything confirming it, just one piece suggesting he's on standby and a few saying he would accept a call up.
Impressive rise if he is though - could make his senior international debut before his senior league debut!
EDIT: Ah, found it...
I think the Habib Beye chant is one of those you simply don't touch, as the name is too perfect. :lolol:
Agree with others though, I'd love the Cure one to take off but I think "Maupay in the 95th" has the best chance by far. Next home game, make it happen.
He didn't exactly cover himself in glory for their first goal (getting the wrong side of Ayew and allowing the cross) - so I can see where Chappers may have gotten that impression from.
I rate him generally though, glad he's available again as he definitely has his uses in certain games.
Well that's a decent chant - can't say I've heard it once in middle of the north! Maybe one of those that gets sung occasionally at away games but never at home games by virtue of being more than 3 words long?
You must appreciate the irony when comparing to the frustrations of last season though? All of the things we were criticised for last season, ie. not clinical enough, failing to see games out, conceding sloppy late goals, failing to beat the lesser sides. We've scored 2 goals in 4 of our 6 games...
