Fuck me apologies I was silly enough to think this was the Godfrey thread, not the Mina!!! Wankers? Hafnia and markjazzbassist 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hafnia Posted October 18, 2020 Report Share Posted October 18, 2020 Godfrey.... Played well at right back. Bloody Nora Carlo he's a centre half, what are you doing playing him in other positions. ..... You'll probably play him in defensive midfield next.

Popular Post Romey 1878 Posted October 18, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 18, 2020 Just back to Godfrey for a moment - an underrated moment from yesterday was watching Henderson's head bounce off him and Godfrey barely even noticed he'd been touched and looked confused as to why Henderson was horizontal .

Yeah I clocked that, which prompted me to say what a good strong athlete he looks. Henderson is a solid lad so it indicates a good attribute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post pete0 Posted October 18, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 18, 2020 Needed to stay closer to Mane a couple of times but other than that done well all things considered, out of position,new team, and pitted against Mane who Liverpool were playing too.

Cornish Steve Posted October 20, 2020 Report Share Posted October 20, 2020 It's only one game, but he looks like a major asset. His run down the right was full of confidence, and he played well in defense. The most positive thing is, at this stage, I don't see an obvious weakness.

Btay Posted October 20, 2020 Report Share Posted October 20, 2020 Very athletic player. Would never have thought of him as an option in the market after last season so credit to the scouting team for spotting him. Perfect age as well markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted October 22, 2020 Report Share Posted October 22, 2020 On 17/10/2020 at 19:27, Finn balor said: Don’t see it as Mina being flashy he was running the other way and the ball came across and he tried to get something on it. It just fell to salah who buried it. Godfrey was good today. Couple of good blocks. Good on the ball. Didn’t look out of place at all You see this quite a lot to be honest. If it comes off, everyone raves about how skillful he is. If it doesn't, it well ends up like this. I have seen plenty of very good players do the same thing, in fact I am pretty sure VVD did it a couple of weeks ago! On 17/10/2020 at 19:23, c1982 said: That back healed lazy/flashy ‘clearance’ he did today seems like a bad habit - not the first time he’s done it today. It needs coaching out of him as I remember moaning about it in the past!!! I think he’s a good player and clearly a positive character in the dressing room but he does worry me in a John Stones (who I really like as a player still) type way! I don't think it is being flashy or lazy but more about wanting to get something on the ball with his dominant foot. A left footer hooks that ball away a lot easier and I still think that is what he should have done but at the same time I could also see him skew it into the top corner! On 17/10/2020 at 23:00, London Blue said: Just seen it again on MOTD, and there was nothing else he could do, just unlucky it went to Salah. I thought he played well apart from that. I thought he played alright and despite my comments above, the important thing that he needed to do was get the ball to safety and in the end it went straight to the one man you don't want it to go to inside the box. Ironically he would have probably been better served by not touching it at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 Is and never will be a RB, he looked completely lost today. I’d give him a game in the centre, drop Mina and put Holgate at RB until Seamus is back. But never again at RB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is just rough around the edges and needs time to learn and develop. It feels to me that his physical and technical ability has got him to this level and he just needs to learn how to defend a bit better. I'm sure it will come. nutmegwolf203 and pete0 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly not but there are good reasons why he has implemented it, our 2 CD don’t play as a tight unit against Utd the space between Keane and Holgate was embarrassing, so by playing 3 CD he’s looking to close the space in the middle of our penalty area which is killing us.

Aidan Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 If imagine he knows it doesn't suit us, which just shows how much faith he has in any of our centre half pairings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
