HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU 26,971 Posted Wednesday at 18:03 This is the moment Bannan saw the pass to Reach, the ball hadn't reached Borner yet, but Bannan could see the big picture He knew Leeds were stretched, he knew the run that Reach would make if he could get the ball quickly Not all midfield players have this vision, to some like Bannan, it comes easy, John Sheridan had this talent in abundance, and Bannan has it too It's like a second sight, knowing where colleagues are going to be at any given moment There's still an awful lot of work to be done when Bannan gets the ball, fortunately Reach has the quality to be in the right place and deliver the right pass, and Nuhiu has the quality to deliver the shot But it all started here, in the mind of Barry Bannan 5 8 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lawrie Madden 6,282 Posted Wednesday at 18:08 Don't be silly it was just a hopeful punt upfield that Casillas should have come out and cleared up. I know thats true because i saw a Leeds Fan say it on YouTube 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SallyCinnamon 12,080 Posted Wednesday at 18:11 He’s a special player. Deserves to be playing in the Premier League. In recent years smaller players have flourished on the biggest stages. Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, Aguero etc. But I can’t help but think if Bannan was a bit stronger and a couple of inches taller, he’d be unbelievable. Regardless he is still top class. And we are lucky to have him. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

McRightSide 6,084 Posted Wednesday at 18:16 Bannan and Lee have such incredible vision. Bannan’s is more noticeable because it’s usually more offensive, but the way Lee can always seem to find a teammate without looking (usually in a congested midfield) is mighty impressive 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TANGLED UP IN BLUE 366 Posted Wednesday at 19:16 Great vision, passes, runs and finish. As someone said in another thread Reach makes that run cos he is on his natural side and foot, if hes playing I think hes best on the left hand side and would create more for us. The Big man tho....that's how to close a game out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed his stats should be far better and some games just don't suit him. Playing Hutch next to him for so many years hasn't helped us or him either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bannan isn’t an attacking centre midfielder he is a deep lying playmaker have not seen a single wednesday match over the last 3 years. bannan is the player you build a team around instead of having him fit in to the team 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
