[Albion] Jose Izquierdo

[Sheebo]

We missed the ball over the top to him on several occasions. Poor touch and control but blistering pace & unpredictable. A good buy imo, given today’s silly money for transfers.

This with Knobs on! Real threat in the first half. Would liked to have seen him stay with Solly replacing knocky, who looked spent. Don't think you can knock Hughton though, I thought putting on our Spaghetti western replacement for Knocky was a good move as he can defend and looks good going forward.

Agreed. We should have used him more in the half. Had the beating of the Stoke player marking him every time.
Think around the 60-65 minute mark he was shot, that's why C H pulled him off.

He runs so fast and turns players inside out on Fifa 18.

He is the man.

Stephens found him a number of times with a long pass but surprised we didnt use him more. He created havoc whenever he took them on out wide.

 

[Whitechapel]

And in his own words, Frustrating.

Maybe he thought we should be beating teams like Stoke not scraping for a draw? Or does someone in our PR team run his Twitter for him?

How do we know this for a fact? Step forward Victor Anichebe

Jose is frustrated that he has not been called up to the national team despite competition for the position being quite low.

Keep scoring and causing havoc and you'll be back soon enough Jose.

 

[Algernon]

Maybe he is upset that he doesn't have a song yet?

Izquierdo
Quiero respirar tu cuello Izquierdo
Deja que te diga cosas al oído
Para que te acuerdes si no estás conmigo
Izquierdo

Clever if so to throw in some obvious grammatical errors to try to disguise the fact it wasn't him.................

Oh I wasn't accusing the club/Izquierdo of doing that. Just any chance to show off that tweet is enough for me. It's comedy gold.

Fair enough. Maybe HB&B wrote it for him.

H did the strangest goal celebration.

 

[electronicmaji]

Funny thing is he's always retweeting posts on twitter about Colombian youth prospects on his twitter. It's probably definitely not handled by anyone else. That's very uncharacteristic for a players twitter feed - featuring and going on about other players at other clubs with no relation to their own.

The team he came from in Colombia just got relegated on Sunday too. May be why he was in a bad mood.

 

[electronicmaji]

Actually, now that I look at it.



This celebration is pretty similar.

 

[raymondo]

Watching his videos, Jose clearly is right foot dominant, but/and... he has skill, speed, balance, some strength to hold off defenders, and some trickery [ok, I did only notice one left footed cross]. I think the lad just needs his confidence up a notch, then he will deliver some great goals and assists. In Brugges he was used to being their stand-out attacker and clearly the defenders were not as strong in that league. He'll have a harder time in the Premier league, but he can still deliver.

There is an Argus article saying he was frustrated with how he'd played and that he'd wasted a couple of other good chances, that's why he didn't celebrate the goal. Good to see some honesty from a player, very refreshing.

I'm fairly certain in this case Anichebe meant to send that message to whoever runs his twitter account, but rather than sending a DM, he accidentally tweeted it. It does beg the question though, if you are logged into twitter why go to the effort of getting someone else to post instead of just doing it yourself? Or is that deemed to be below most footballers these days to be seen doing their own tweets?

Most footballers are illiterate.

It surprises me that w do not aim to put the ball over the full back into the space to the corner flag for him to chase after as no doubt he would leave most full backs and they would probably pull him down.

Interesting, wonder if that's accurate.

 

[Simster]

He's my second favourite Jose in the world, only beaten by this chap:

That said, if he scores the winner against the NigeIs, I'm prepared to modify that assessment.

 

[amexer]

I have never seen a winger given so much space as he was on Monday. Bet it never happens again and he is right if he feels he didnt make the most of it. Knockhaert had a crap game but if he had those chances think he would have done better
