Ugly Mackems 134 Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 I think Robert could have offered more. Seemed to amble around flattering to decieve - hitting the first man with his corners and totally untroubling the keeper at set pieces. Seemed to want one touch too many on a few of his more attacking moments. One decent cross admittedly - but too little too late. Jury will be firmly out on this fella till I see him a few more times.

Mark 0 Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 Fucking hell man, one match, in a totally different culture, he only met his team mates yesterday. Give the lad a few games before you judge him, I thought his setpeices were good, apart from 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Womblemaster 0 Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 thought he had an ok game, looks like a good buy for 5m. For 10m he looked a dodgy buy. Didnt sparkle enough to sense any ubber class in him. Hes got some skill, but looked lost........however i can rember G speeds early matches, he looks crap too, wandering about like a lost lamb. If this lad can keep his confidence, he could be good. Hope the boo boys done undermine us on this one!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chester mag 0 Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 Bloody hell and theres me thinkin he should have scored three in his first game with a team he has never played with and probably hardly trained with. May be next time ehh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, there is nothing I can think of that I'd employ you for. You'd probably spend the day moaning that your missus only put Penguins in your bait box and not Wagon Wheels. Sorry.

Give the lad a few games before you judge him, I thought his setpeices were good, apart from 1. 20819[/snapback] It is daft, but people are comparing him with Robert and with Roberts contributions in his first few games, thats understandable. With such a big price on his head (3 times Emre) and considerably more wages, he has a lot to live up to compered to his predecessor (who seems to be doing rather well at Portsmouth). But yes, he deserves time. Something which Kluivert didn't get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy 0 Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 He was far from magnificent today, but to be fair, he has only been in the country for two days. Players from La Liga generally need longer to settle than those from other countries; the hard-tackling, quick pace of the premiership is a far cry from the slow paced, technical style of football played in Spain... If and when he adapts, he'll be a better footballer for us than Robert ever was... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueStar 0 Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 Can't judge him on one performace - he looks like he can wing a corner in, which is something we've been lacking for decades. His freekicks were on target at least. I'm pretty optimistic he can do well for us, but we'll have to see. Fuckin hell I'm pissed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black&White 0 Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 It is unfair to judge him on one game but if I had to make an assment I would say he hid when he could and tried to do as little as possible, but he looked very nervous and I hope he does come good which he should do.

After one game you can tell all that? Right little soothsayers and no mistake eh. Seriously I think he is a good player but how you can judge someone like that already is slightly disconcerting. Hell if we are going on a game by game basis to determine things, this weekend Robert got an assist, Luque didn't. Therefore Robert reigns supreme. Just as nonsensical as your support of Luque.
