Popular Post RockieOwl Posted January 11, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 11, 2020 A lot of others will get the plaudits, mainly defenders, and rightly so. In fact noone had a bad game. Even murphy before his goal was playing well. But special mention to Lee. He has not played for ages but still shows that he offers something completely different. Finds pockets of space, great with the ball and still has those wing mirrors which stuart gray said about him. Whether he still has the legs to continuously play and whether this will be his last season or not it's good to see he is still very part of the team 13 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fudge27 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Definitely worth another year for me as a body on not a huge amount, but great attitude and works his nads off. Very useful to have around the place 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Hunt Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Very close to MOM today Been written off by a lot of folk on here but he is pure class , kept mugging them all over the park 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcx666 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 I said the other week that Lee needs to start because Hutch and Bannan has never worked, and was reliably informed by the experienced managers on here that his legs have gone 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Tom Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Different gravy this lad, so underrated and understated it's untrue - he just makes us tick, even at 70% capacity compared with three years ago. Must be one of the quietest yet most influential team players in our history, can't think of many who made such a difference yet hid it so well.

prowl Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 He looked very good today. Tidy, composed, reads the game well. If we don't offer him another contract we will regret it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camffiti Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Lee, Bannan & Another in a midfield 3, has been the basis of our better performances, for a few years now 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Farrell Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Chuffed to bits for him and his family. He was massive today. They all read on here, and it's been a tough season for them so far. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmonbones Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 I was going to start this as a thread in it's own right, but this one is close enough to post this into instead. Watched this (as best I could with the bad streams) and then watched some highlights again after. In all honesty I think the difference was three in midfield - but the technical three. Bannan was the week link although he did not have a bad game. Luongo and Lee were where this game was pivotal for us. They did not allow Leeds to play their normal game and to be honest, they did a far better job than Arsenal did of nullifing Leeds. Push Lee and Luongo against any side in this division and they will stop them playing from the back, they will also cause them issues in their own right. Add to this the fact that Bannan then gets to play what is his natural position of a regista that many on here seem to want to stop him being, and then you have a midfield triangle on a par with anything in this division, if not better. Hutchinson and Pelupessy may well be made redundant from the starting line up if Monk takes these three as his first choice starting midfielders, which I believe he should. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee A Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Still got the quality, just a yard short of where he used to be, which is understandable. Real shame he's missed so much football in recent seasons, probably the best footballer we've had since the PL days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beswetherick Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Massive boost for us that he’s played two full matches consecutively, let’s hope he can stay fit until the end of the season. He’s a wonderful player to watch. 18 minutes ago, Salmonbones said: I was going to start this as a thread in it's own right, but this one is close enough to post this into instead.

Excellent post, agree 100%. Thought Luongo was very good today too — the three CMs knew their roles (and each other’s) and complimented each other well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bouncing Owl Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 I thought Borner was man of the match today but Lee came a close second. Very intelligent and he knows what to do at every given moment. Just gets a nick on ball defensively, keeps possession in tight areas, links play and gives us legs all over the pitch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen us age a lot of players at Hillsborough and he just went so fast it was untrue. If Lee's legs have gone, then my god, I would like to be a half a yard behind him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
