[Albion] Locadia Today

[tigertim68]

The man's a GOAL machine!

Tho looked horribly from the North like he was going to skew today's effort round the post - if he'd been a yard further out he would have done. A few sharp intakes of breathe around me when it went in. Fair play to the boy tho for being in the right place at the right time.

Don’t be silly , it went in the back of the net

We look so much more dangerous with the pace of March, Locadia and Andone who also worried the hell out of Everton. All that being said Davy Propper was my motm

We've been crying out for pace and missed Jose (or so i thought- he's had a mare this year). With speedy players everyone looks so much happier. Finally people seem to be playing where they can do their best.

Out of interest is there a song for Locadia yet??

Jurgen scores, we're on the pitch...

What an odd thing to say. Every goal ever scored wouldn't have been scored if the scorer had made the same shot from somewhere else.

Not an odd thing to say at all. It wasn't a well struck shot. Luckily the post&net came in time to stop the ball's natural trajectory

I don’t know why we buy players from the Eredivsie, they’re always crap.

His tracking back and defending has been great last couple games too, I didnt realise how good he is defensively.

 

[sussex_guy2k2]

I'm so pleased for the guy. He's actually being given a chance in winnable games and he's looking like a good player.

I said until he had a run of games in a position that suited him it was unfair to judge him, of course unlike the JCL's who criticise for the sake of it instead of getting behind the team and the players

Agreed. I was saying this after Arsenal. He really helped Bernardo, who was targeted by Arsenal.

Yep, it's still odd second time around. If he was a yard further back, he'd have aimed differently.

And what made me laugh was one of the commentators for the Arsenal game made a comment or rather a saying on Jurgen's position, saying he was like a peg in a something? basically saying the position didn't suit him. Shows how often they watch us.

 

[Triggaaar]

He played well again. Two games means nothing in the grand scheme of things

Yet some were ready to write him off after about 30 minutes.

And I disagree that it means nothing. Sure he might not be able to regularly repeat the level he's at now, but it shows he is capable of putting in the hard work defensively, shows he's got good vision, and shows he can take chances. He's shown he is capable of making it at this level, which we were unsure about.

 

[Triggaaar]

Good thread, has transpired exactly as the OP affirmed.

Liar.

 

[flint]

He is fast becoming the player we thought he was.
Strong, good physical presence and worked hard and well for the team
Quick reaction for goal

Square peg in a round hole according to Alan Smith

After his first game for us last season I said that he would become a favourite and sort after by other clubs after watching his last couple of games I believe that he is too good for us with his thinking as non of our players are up to his level of football brain. If his natural ability reaches his thinking level he will be some player.

Sorry, not getting into a game of post tennis with you else I'll be here til 3 in morning. Just watch the highlights

 

[Kazenga <3]

Liar.

Nope. Prescient.

Nope. Prescient.

You said you wouldn't be reading replies to this thread
