[Football] Troy Deeney Team of the week

[Han Solo]

I'm going to have to find other things to get really really angry about on Monday mornings.

Troy Deeney?

 

[Screaming J]

I was tempted to have an open mind on Deeney taking over but seeing his silly gushing about Crooks has shut that down. He can fukk off.

Well...he was hardly going to be quoted saying something along the lines of "Crooksy was well past his sell-by date. I think I can improve on that load of old $hyte" was he?

Kaoru Mitoma (Brighton): I'm putting him as a number 10 in a 4-3-3 as I thought he was a joke for Brighton at Everton. He was the best player on the pitch by a country mile.


A joke? Erm...


He's definitely a lot more concise than Garth. Just talking about the player, rather than 3 paragraphs on something unrelated to do with one of the Big Six. He's got a lot to learn.

I think there's a middle ground between the 2..... a tiny bit more detail on his performance would be nice.

He also called two other players 'monsters' and one player a 'beast'. Using such colloquialisms makes for boring reading IMO. When I read the thoughts of a professional, I like a bit more insight that cheap throwaway words that don't add much to the article.

Said when he got the gig that he’d pick players in their correct positions unlike Garth and then first week puts Mitoma in the number 10 position

Poor choice from from the BBC, as well as being an incredibly unlikeable individual, he offers nothing as a pundit as he didn’t in his month long stint as a manager or whatever it was.

Pretty poor choice in my opinion. No actual analysis at all of how a player performed at the weekend.
On the other hand I was really impressed with Joe Hart on MOTD at the weekend. In particular he had a good insight into goalkeeper decisions etc, not just the usual soundbites you get from lots of other pundits

And also played Salah out of position (in Mitoma's spot) so he could get Saka in as well.
He needed to choose between the two Ss, put Mitoma on the right and picked Welbeck to play alongside Havertz.

Just saw this prime Crook example on Twatter. Won’t miss it

I thought Hart was excellent on MOTD. An actual GK's point of view rather than "Yeah, he should have saved that" soundbite.

Did Troy Deeney's auto-correct let him down with his very odd Mitoma comment? He meant to write 'joy' not 'joke' shirley

Yeah Hart was really good in the Euro’s too. Comes across as a knowledgable and really nice guy without trying to be one of the lads like some of them do.

In total contrast to what I thought he was as a player when he came across as a complete knob.

Maybe. Joke is certainly an odd choice of word in this case

"Monster," "monster", "joke".

Great vocabulary.

 

[Iggle Piggle]

"Monster," "monster", "joke".

Great vocabulary.

Reading that, it's starting to become obvious how his FGR stint was so bad. He's definitely from the Harry Redknapp school of "Tell the lads to run about a bit"

 

[Bakero]

Nowadays, if you describe someone's performance as a joke, it's a good thing. It means "unbelievable/ridiculous".

Is Troy 'down with the kids' ?

I guess he must be

 

[Greg Bobkin]

I've never been a #DefundTheBBC type, but I think Troy Deeney might test my resolve. A 'joke' indeed...
