Needless to say, he's far too good to be facing a side of our quality. It's always an absolute with those sorts of clubs though isn't it. My mate is a season ticket holder at Old Trafford and frequently tells me that many of their internationals are "f***ing s**t". And to think some of our fans have unrealistic expectations. I wish our players were as f***ing s**t as theirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was saying it about Rooney in his last few seasons at the club, had no time or respect for the unbelievable things he achieved there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edmontonowl Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 I understand what you're saying. Sometimes when I'm watching football at all professional levels, I remind myself how far I got in the game despite being qute good, and how far away I was.

Rogers Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 (edited) Great player. That’s what £30m will buy you. How much did DC pay for our club? Shows what a total total rip off some championship players are; McCormack, etc Edited January 28, 2019 by Rogers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All relative as SiJ said really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just came up against some very good players. I agree, but when you are playing a team who you know are better than you and you know have better individual players isn't it normally the idea to outwork em, give a kick here and there, make them rush and hope for mistakes? Apart from very early in the game there wasn't much of this, the second half we just let them play it across the back with very little if any pressing the ball until they decided to speed it up and attack us. I know they're a class above us and doing this might have played into their hands and ended in a heavier defeat but (long shot i know) it was also the only way we were going to get any kind of result, especially once they were in front sitting back and letting them have space and time just made the game much easier for them they didn't even have to get out of 1st gear, just coasted through the game and basically when they decided to up the tempo scored more or less at will. There's obviously a massive difference in class between the sides but I still think we made it easier for them than we could have done. Willian did look fantastic though. Anyway WTID.

Kopparberg Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 When the team sheets came out you knew he’d cause us the most damage. He’s worth about £70m+ in today’s market (even at about 30 years old) and a BRAZIL international. I remember that he almost went to Spurs before deciding on Chelsea. Top notch player.

Lord Snooty Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 £30m worth of top class International quality attacker. Taking on a born and bred Wednesday fan come through our academy. I thought Palmer did exceptionally well all things considered. There are more expensive full backs than he who will get torn apart by the Brazilian.

beloved_aunt Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 He is some player. But the thing I noticed most from watching all their players in the flesh is the quality of first touch. Any player, even the centre halves, can kill any ball knocked towards them stone dead and start moving forward with it in a mili-second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every team outside the PL would have set up very similar to us yesterday. I don’t agree with 1 up top but you’ve also got to keep in your mind, the fact we needed to stay in the game as long as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
