adios 717 Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Did anyone see him giving Shola a quick lesson in what he'd done wrong after he put that free header over? A class act, should never have left and I hope he stays on as a coach when he's done playing. Bobby underestimated his importance to the team and deservedly lost his job for getting rid.

MattM4 0 Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 he's doing better over the last few games. More like the Nobby of old, and the one Villa seemed to have. Would be nice indeed to have him involved with the club after he retires. Peruvian legend. Or he could be a private trumpet teacher on Tyneside.

Guest alex Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Seems to have a great footballing brain and I think he would make a good coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheInspiration 1 Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 He's 31 and ideally should be a lot faster if he's a winger, but he has a great footballing brain, and few read the game better then Nobby himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howaythetoon 0 Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Solano's been our best player since Souness left for me. Bit OTT regarding the coaching comments though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Lazaru 0 Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 The second Souness was finally kicked out has seen a big upturn in Nobby's performances, and that shouldn't surprise anyone who could see Souness was killing him as he was with half the team. There's still more to come from him though, but as people have said his football brain is second to none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Solano has been our best player since Souness went. Surprisingly, it's been his through balls and not his crossing that has been excellent. Some of the deft touches he's knocking through the middle have been superb, the kind of balls Owen would lap up (oo-er!). Also, he's running at people and taking them on. I'd almost forgot he could do that. BTW, I wish that trick had come off in our corner the other night where he tried to beat the man by first time flicking it through his legs.

Pseudo-cultish obsessions with potential new managers? That's just good, clean fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammynb 3640 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 To be fiar, my nan could have told Shola how to head that ball... 100285[/snapback] Bumped as this thread is even more relevant after saturday. By the way your nan could probably of taught donkey to heed the ball but do you think she could teach him to strike a ball with the outside of the foot like Nobby did on Saturday. He's 31 and ideally should be a lot faster if he's a winger, but he has a great footballing brain, and few read the game better then Nobby himself. 100285[/snapback] Sorry but Nobby is living proof that speed isn't a prerequisite to be a winger.

TheInspiration 1 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Nah he doesn't need pace, but it always helps if you're a winger to be fast, more than most positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
