We've slowly been peppered with South Americans and I love it. On the strength of this season he should be cheap. Potential is there but application wise he's gone backwards. Possibly the only way we could sign him permanently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add in Shelvey/Ki to this team, keep Rondon and swap Perez for someone decent and we have our strongest XI in a long time I doubt it. He’s going to want a club that’s consistently investing. Not going windows with no intention of spending money. There’s only so long he can work wonders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 13872 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Perez was good today, I thought. It’s clear that the front three were working together during the camp and some of the movement and touches between them was excellent. All of this is is tempered by the fact that Huddersfield are beyond shite Burnley will be a decent challenge against a well organised, hard working side.

It's on the record that Ashley is shit, Rafa is not afraid to call him out as well. It's dysfunctional but it can still work. They'd be mad not to do eveything they can to hang on to him including freeing up more funds for transfers, the problem is we already know they're mad.

zerosum 234 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Longstaff another good game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noelie 103 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Elated with the win and 3 points, not too enthused with the slipshod performance against 10 men. I think Rafa has lost some marbles, Joselulu, Kenedy, Perez, and wantaway Hayden, are these our best performers? I don't think so. Almiron looked like he could be a massive improvement to our team. Longstaff continues to put in a good shift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotsa Spanish speaking people in the USA. Spanish TV channels, Spanish shops, no need to speak English. English is not the official language in the USA, although it is in California yet they cater to the Hispanic population especially at the DMV.

acrossthepond 877 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 To be honest I'm a little disappointed. (As, I think, were most of the people in the ground.) We got the job done and it was a great attacking performance, but they were truly there for the taking and we should've hammered them. They could've lost 6-0 today and had no complaints. Heart went in mouth when Almiron got chopped down, I had flashbacks to Ben Arfa for a moment. Thankfully he was all right and dominated the game start to finish. A brilliant full debut from what looks like a brilliant player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wykikitoon 20155 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 I think Perez has been good for the past few games tbh. He's grafted well and going well Rondon, however today those three were moving well and good. Longstaff is superb. Just so calm and an old head on him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 35093 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 I reckon J69’s notion that this squad / result is likely to make Rafa stay is about as well founded as his faith in Corbyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

247 597 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 (edited) Kenedy of this time last year maybe, I was coming here to say if Almiron carries on like that Kenedy will get nowhere near the starting 11 Longstaff is great as well, I wonder how much Rafa has to do with his development Burnley will be a better test mind but I reckon we would come out with a win most of the time against them atm..

LooneyToony 41 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 I think Kenedy was terrific when he came on and almost scored a beauty. If we are going to play this formation, Kenedy is the perfect wingback you would want, imo. His hasn't played like last season, but he hasn't been the worst of the lot, and before Almiron got here he was the most talented player on the side.
