[Football] Troy Deeney Team of the week

[DavidinSouthampton]

Is someone helping him with his writing, or actually telling him it need# to Bea bit more readable?

 

[Greenbag50]

I gave it to Sanchez because he’s had stick.
No writing help there….. straight from the hip.

 

[Flounce]

In truth he has picked our two standout performers and yes both will be on the radar of bigger clubs and probably gone next summer if they keep it up. Quite refreshing to see two players in his team who were involved in a 0-0 draw. Crooks would NEVER have gone down that route. I suggest that he did watch our game.

Edit - I see he was actually at our game.

Four Albion and Ex Albion players in his 11

He was. Just. He came to the shop about 2.30 and asked the way to the Media entrance?
So he wouldn't have had time for much pre match prep.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Other than the fact that anyone decent for us will be sold. We're four games in, FFS.

The first and last column of his I'll be reading after that comment. Utter twat.

4 Brighton/ex-Brighton players in the lineup this week.

 

[FatSuperman]

Insane that he doesn't have any Forest players in there. I don't think you'll ever please everybody in this, but this sort of feature surely needs to be edited / completed by someone who can actually write. If I was a sports journalist I think I'd be annoyed that all these gigs go to ex-players, who haven't got an ounce of training in the job they are now doing.

 

[JOLovegrove]

Not having a Forest defender, as Deeney would say himself, is a "joke."

 

[Wozza]

Such a nice guy...

Reformed figure, salt of the earth, etc.

“Aaron Wan-Bissaka (West Ham) and Pervis Estupinan (Brighton): Both full-backs were solid and kept clean sheets. The pair were also probably one of the best attacking threats for their team.”

I know TD said some of his selections were going to be a bit left field, but not sure Estupinian was our best attacking threat this week?

Abysmal journalism, genuinely awful from the BBC. Why are they now pairing players together to comment on them?

Troy's excelled himself this week by grouping 3 players together and giving them 2 sentences combined without mentioning anything specific.

Absolutely useless and isn't even trying. He's making Garth Crooks look like Hugh McIlvanney.

Jarrad Branthwaite (Everton), Lisandro Martinez (Manchester United) and Riccardo Calafiori (Arsenal): They've all been solid, just proper defenders and what I'm finding is these guys are stepping up more and more. I know a couple of them scored but they're starting to mature into proper centre-halves.

Always the entertainer.

Sanchez is my favourite PL player

Awful awful awful awful pundit.

I hate the attitude in football that ex players are best to comment on football, no matter their level of writing ability or footballing knowledge. There are hundreds of better alternatives who can write eloquently and knowledgeably on football, but they're not given the time of day because they didn't play professional football in the past.

Absolutely.

The number of ex-pros that BBC Sport employ that offer nothing other than banal truisms has clearly increased to the detriment of the corporation.

A career as a professional footballer doesn't automatically qualify you to write about it professionally. It demeans the craft of sports journalism.

And there's at least a dozen posters on NSC who'd provide more illuminating analysis of football than Deeney.

Half a dozen.

Cheers mate. Fame at last.
