Kaz

[Monkey Man]

KLL did everything except score. He did everything we know he can do but the difference was that he managed it for 90+5 minutes ... he can still skin full-backs late in the game. Normally we see that only in his "impact sub" role.

But I also thought we saw a much more intelligent Kaz today, not the one-man-band cameo we sometimes see. It wasn't just the crosses - his generally passing play, and tackling, and work rate, was light years ahead of what we've seen before.

Definite MoM for me.

One strange thing today was we had a lot of corners however we had a vertically challenged team given all their back four were Shrek sized.

So why take so long to decide that our tallest player Ince could go up for corners ?

I'm guessing it's because Ince is much faster than Greer and Upson - in case we get hit on the break?

 

[Cold Gettin Dumb]

Him and Ward were outstanding on the left hand side. Bolton had no answers.

This.
I thought they worked really well off each other. Can't wait to see how they develop from here.

 

[fat old seagull]

He was good, far from incredible though. And nearly gave them a goal. I think I could have dominated their midfield today.

Well I guess it's good that we have that area well covered then

 

[Buzzer]

Great performance and I noticed the ref was extremely reluctant to give him anything too. MoM for me too.

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Love the bloke ,about time he got a decent chance..

I must admit I was wondering that one myself, It was only when I saw Oscar waving his arms at one of our corners that Ince finally went up for one and Ward stayed back.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

My MoM, though poor delivery in the first half. The effort that hit the bar seemed to inspire him on to even greater efforts in the second, and he was just unplayable. I think it was his best performance for us. Even showed Lopez how to take a decent corner and free-kick.

Kaz imense and was brilliant to have 2 attacking wingers to stretch the game especially at home. I know there were not loads of options but seems Oscar really wants to go and win games. When kaz is in space and in the right frame of mind he is brilliant to watch.

 

[dougdeep]

Back to his best. Nobody can change direction like he can.

 

[Luke93]

Kaz had a mixed first half and Ince was consistent throughout. And the fact he's so young filling in for Bridcutt and Andrews made his performance more impressive. Therefore probably just edged it for MOM.

 

[shaolinpunk]

Ince edged it for me, but both put in superb performances. Had it not been for his final ball in the first half (which seemed to be straight out for a goal kick most of the time) he'd have taken the MoM

 

[grummitts gloves]

Kaz and Wardy on the left, Calde and Buckley on the right. About time! Bloody loved it. KLL was quality today. Oscar seems to have told him to cut inside more and attack from a central position when needed as well. This is the most consistent KLL has been since the heady days of League 1. Long may it continue.

 

[jackcgull]

Kaz was easily mom. Pleased for nice but kaz was unplayable and some touches were sublime

 

[HawkTheSeagull]

Kaz was my MoM, Ince played well - as did Ward - but Kaz had his best game for a LONG time today.

[catfish]

If only Kaz could play like that every time.

 

[Beach Hut]

He really was on planet football today, one move in the 2nd half took two players out and their defender bottle a challenge on him as he was already on a yellow.

 

[DumLum]

Definite MoM for me today. Oscar seems to be getting the best out of him. Never stopped running and constantly caused them problems.

Well done for starting this thread. You have been one of LuaLua's main critics over the last couple of seasons. Oscar has not improved him, he has always been this good. The big difference between poyet and Oscar is Oscar plays him from the start rather than sit him in the stands.

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

I thought Kaz mom and Ince a close second. Both were great though and I agree that it's lovely to see KLL start a few matches. That shot that hit the bar....such a pity it didn't hit the net, it would surely have burst it!
