  1. Clearly had two hands on the ball there. Rubbish desicion. We have been really poor though
  2. Naismith in a T! Not many players leave it all on the pitch these days.
  3. I wish Matt. After three kids I have been relegated to the subs bench. More time for football I suppose.
  4. That's a shame mate, could have ended up as a full TT international. Saying that, I would never play for anyone than England.
  5. I don't think he has been that good in previous matches. Stats ate what they are, something for people to use for or against an argument or discussion. What I can remember is how people were judging his performances during those matches. It was nothing to shout home about. He must be one of the most called for subs so far this season. Bit like our results so far...Until we are in front we haven't looked very good. Goals and results gloss over things. Don't get me wrong, I think people calling for him to be dropped, or saying he hasn't got it...is a bit premature. But I also agree that he needs to show more fight and aggression if he wants to stay in the team. At the moment, and this hurts me to say it, but Ross would be last name on the teamsheet. I wouldn't know who to put on between Ross,Gerry or Valencia!
  6. Agree StevO. I do expect too much at times, due to hos potential to become a world class player. He has the technical ability to. Every touch he takes ..i take with him. I want him to be our star so much.
  7. I'm behind him 100%. There isn't a single player I would rather succeed more. Love the lad. But I see it a bit differently that's all. I see him get tackled, stand up and jog back, rather than fight to make up for it. I see defenders step past with whole looking for a pass, because they ate confident he won't put too much pressure on them. I want to see him look aggrieved when he is tackled, I want to see him chasing back to make up for losing balls. I want to see him chasing down players looking for that pass. Ross always looks best when a player shoulders into him and he starts running. It shouldn't take that to start him though. I love Ross as a player, I really do and want him to he a world beater. But we're running out of his break through seasons. He has played good so far this season, but nothing other. Same as the whole team to be fair. There is a fine line between winning and losing in the premier and we are all seeing that now. Have we really been good or are we just a touch more resilient now?
  8. But now we are building a few effort players, Williams, Bolasie and Gana. These are the types to lift the confidence players when things aren't going well.
  9. Watching Pogba in the euros,.... People thought he was poor? Wow, just shows how different eyes see things. I actually tipped Manure foe the title after seeing him in the euros. First time I really took notice of him in the euros. My thoughts were, in my god I hope they don't get him. Closest player to Viera, since Viera. Wins tackles, holds onto the ball, commands the ball, gets tackled......Then somehow still comes out with the ball? Think he can become one of the best. But he's not Gana though is he.
  10. I don't get this, no end result thing. He could have had four assists easily already. He puts in dangerous balls all the time. It's been the forwards that haven't been finishing so far.
  11. Worrying for me is his desire. He just doesn't seem to feel that need to be better than his opponent. When I play, I always want to prove I am better than my opponent. When Stars play you see it all the time, they all believe they are better than anyone else. When Ross plays, he looks like he is grateful to be on the pitch. He doesn't seem to have much desire. Reminds me of employees. Let's get the job done and try to look interested.
  12. He gives it away cheaply a few times each match. But who cares when that equates to 1% of his match contribution. Onc he cuts that out he will he worth 60m to others but priceless to us.
  13. Just a case of looking for the signs, adding it all together and getting... Fuck all!
  14. Thanks a lot Pad. I'm at work haha. Read that and my heart just melted, looking like a right tit at the moment ( no difference I suppose). You must be one proud Dad mate.
  15. Let's enjoy him this year. Strange body language in his hat trick. Made a heart to the camera and retracted it as fast as possible and looked down. I think the young lad has been hurt by all the criticism.
  16. I'm actually going for Lukaku. He hit a hat trick, Also hit the bar, Also had several other efforts at goal. Can a forward do anymore?
  17. Brilliant again. Bolasie looks to get the ball in everytime. And a bullet header from Rom.
  18. Get in Rom. Well done. Nice surprise ball from Gueye there too. Everyone expected Jerry to be played in there. Good header too.
