jpk3lly Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 I really do wonder whether this year with a full preseason under Jos and a much greater emphasis on fitness of players, we will see far less of players sat on the physio table. It really could be that some of these players like Matias and Abdi that came with so much promise actually do finally earn their wage 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matias will be fit as a fiddle this year, play brilliantly, score loads and then leave on a free at the end of the season. Or he’ll get injured come back for last 3/4 months have a blinder won another 3/4 year contract and be injured again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick the Owl Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Can't help but think of THAT goal against Leeds every time I see his name, superb. Hopefully more of the same to follow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, currently he is coming across as waste of wage but he has shown moments of true quality when he has played. Just need him to maintain fitness.

beloved_aunt Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 (edited) My view on Matias *warning this doesn’t go along with the boooooring majority view that he’s an idle waster* ... 1. He wants to play and doesn’t want to be injured 2. He was an astute signing at the time, Ronaldo was the only Portuguese player to have scored mores in a European top division the season before we got him for less than £3m 3. His real problem was that CC abandoned his plans to play 4-2-3-1 sometime around September of his first season and then stubbornly stuck to 4-4-2 which doesn’t suit Matias who is a natural wife forward. In his first couple of seasons this was more often the reason he didn’t play than injury. 4. He is one of the most skilful players at the club. See Leeds away. 5. A front three of: Matias - Joao - Forestieri has the potential to scare the living daylights out of most Championship defences. Anyway off to find me tin hat ...

If he proves the above in training, then surely he'll get game time. Either way, nothing to lose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pazowl55 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Think if we can get Jos to do to Matias whatever it is he has done with Nuhiu then we are in for a shock to how good he could potentially be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An answer we’ll probably never get Was fit for a good part of last season and not selected by you know who. Should really have been brought back in gradually. Then expected to play full games due to injury crisis and guess what gets an injured again. I rate him and keen to see if he can stay fit with the proper training and conditioning that now seems to be the order of the day. This guy something we lack....pace coupled with real skill.

He’s been shocking most of the time. One good goal, a few missed chances, stupid red card and a collection of neshed tackles. A classic example of a player who gets better by the simple act of not playing. He’s like a Portuguese Heffernan. If he does come good it’ll be a r8 turn up.

Sergeant Tibbs Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 12 hours ago, Hawkowl said: His first few games for us I thought he looked the real deal and was tremendously unlucky not to score more goals. FFS. A couple of goals he scored in his first season were lucky. The wonder goal (great skill to get in position and turn the defender inside out) came of his shin. Then a deflection v Boro. Let's have rid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
