AND 3 points from Burnley on Tuesday would be splendiffico. Unfortunately Burnley and Palace won or we would have been in 13th place, other results were not in our favour.

My pick: Dubravka Schar Lascelles LeJeune Yedlin Longstaff Ki Dummett Almiron Ritchie Rondon Barreca Diame Mutu Perez Atsu Fernandez Darlow Well Rafa got 9 of my starting pick right, but Joselulu, Hayden, and Kenedy weren't even on my bench.

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. He’s been absolute shite.

Andrew 4762 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Love waking up to a win! Had a quick look at the highlights as well, looks like we should've had far more than 2! Kenedys effort saved onto the bar would've been some goal! Almiron looked lively and rapid, getting through for his effort that hit the post looked absolutely effortless on his part, great to see.

Yeah, that was a great little dink over the keeper just unlucky not to score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And not only that he seems to have an attitude problem wether that’s down to a legit personal issue or whatever is irrelevant we need players to play. I think there’s a player in there defo, he’s was great last season I’d almost say he transformed our team.

LooneyToony 41 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Who says Kenedy has an attitude problem? Did this come from Rafa? It is just forum speculation when a player isn't playing to their potential. If that's the case, the entire squad has/had an attitude problem since we've been battling relegation all season.

247 597 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 I mean if you don’t see it then I’m not gonna argue about it personally I think he’s clearly got something going on with him. I just hope he can put in better performances from now on, he was good today for example 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21924 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Only saw the highlights but looks like we bossed it and Almiron looks a handful. Perez looked lively too. How many times did we hit the post? And a red card in our favour - unheard of! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 13873 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 (edited) Fair play to the foreign lads for coming into this thread and talking absolute shite. See that performance where we outclassed the opponent man for man? It was actually bad because Rafa hooked Rondon off to keep him fresh for Tuesday.

Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Longstaff was very good again, he is a classy player. Almiron had a great home debut, he's an exciting prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLad 17281 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Almiron is the player Rafa has been waiting for. The midfielder with the pace to make runs from deep into space in front of the leader of the line. That utterly changes how we play at home immediately. I still think we’ll play within ourselves away from home but he has the pace to be deadly on the counter too. Hes the new Rob Lee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLad 17281 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Maybe someone has said it on here before(?) but Kennedy has played most of the season as if his agent told him last summer that he’d end up at a “big club” and he’s gutted to be back here.

Thought he came across as a canny lad in the articles about him last season when he was doing well, and he's always going to be more likely to produce a moment of genius than somebody like Atsu.

I have no opinion on his character really, am not often on here criticising the players because it’s utterly fuckin pointless when we’re owned by Ashley. I wouldn’t blame any of them for aiming higher. Edited February 24, 2019 by PaddockLad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
