goodytheowl Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 (edited) He didn't want to make one unfortunately...... Serious point though, why did Carlos out him for that and then try and defend him afterwards? Strange one for me, either protect him or shame him, but both? Was it planned to fire him up to prove himself more next year or more likely maybe he said it originally in a pique of frustration then just backtracked. anyway him and Abdi gonna have more of an impact with full pre season together with squad. onwards and upwards.

ViolaOwls Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Abdi would be great under a new coach. CC will never break his golden boy midfield of bazza and lee. i'd sell bazza tomorrow, poor season as a whole. We have been found out with his and our style of play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AwokenGiant Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 People trying to make something out of nothing. Rhodes was honest in the moment and I admire him for that, he put the team first and not himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lombardo Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 I think that if Rhodes was down to take one he would have replaced Hunt, Lee or Bannan...they all scored It takes a lot of b@lls to take the first one and I guess Hutch was first to volunteer as he is that type of bloke. Fessi was the banker and so was last to guarentee a goal.....or so we hoped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semedo's ferret Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 (edited) Fessi takes a poor pen. Knew he'd miss it. Hutch has big balls so knew he'd be first. JR didn't fancy it. It happens. Surprised CC was quick to say JR didn't want to take one when all he needed to say was that they'd practised pens and the best five took them. End of.

We have been found out with his and our style of play Good player is Bazza but only got a left foot, he never uses his right, sometimes he does nearly a full circle to bring the ball onto his left foot so he can play the ball when he could just as easy hit it with his right foot. Abdi has not had a real chance, with a full pre season and then some games behind him he might just come good. Watford fans rated him more than Fessi.

I agree that it does take a lot of balls to step up and take the first penalty in front of the kop in massively important shoot out. That's what he is paid £50k per week for though!!!!! I don't blame him for missing a pen at Leeds, I don't blame Hutchinson or FF for missing there but find it baffling that one of the best strikers outside the Premier league last few years and a regular penalty taker didn't want to take one. Abdicated responsibility in my verdict. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owl in Manc Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 A young fan asked Rhodes for an autograph, Rhodes apologised saying "Sorry lad, I cant sign that, I'm scared of pens!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow bazza has a good game and hes a world beater again! Abdi hasn't been given a chance/ tactics haven't suited his style of play. Bazza is a CC's little pet undroppable. Yet hes been shocking for most of this season. And yes ive watched him all season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting on Tuesday night when Jaap Stam said he knew Kermogant would score his pen as he was the only one who did in training! Although that may have been Al Habsi, he's saved a pen against us for Wigan and is a top shot stopper. Still an interesting admission from Stam.

Almat Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 I think CC saying this to the press is a massive hint that we've seen the last of him here. Things like this should most definitely be kept in-house. The situation is made all the worse due to Rhodes' dad being a prominent figure in the backroom staff, arguably the most passionate of the lot of them.

He's better qualified than just about anyone else in the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spookone Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Carlos was asked the question but I don't think he should have told the reporter the reason as its only going to out more fan pressure on Rhodes and I still think he could prove to be the best striker we have.
