No problem....
"Rag-dolled" implies being out-muscled.
"Rolled" implies being 'done' by movement.
Not splitting hairs at all; different phrasing suggests different things.
His best position is on the bench
TaGenius insight....
Well, I reckon he is prone to both. Have you ever noticed how much time he spends trying to defend with his arms? He is not unlike Fat Vincent Janssen-has the raging horn for grabbing people.
What I meant is that
todd1882
is good at splitting hairs-or at least he believes he is. If there is a hair to be split, he's your man.
So you'd like Tanganga and Foyth as our defence.
I hate all that shit, but it's so prevalent from both sides.... It's alien to the football I used to play and it baffles me how we don't see more cards and pens as a result.
I hadn't clocked him as being overtly bad for it... I'll keep a keen eye out.
He loves a cheeky shove in the back when ushering a ball out for a goalkick tho. Again, I'm baffled how these things don't get punished more, but he seems to have a technique that ref's tolerate.
I don't think I said that
Toby & Jan or Toby and foyth
Although In truth I won't be happy with any combination we can put out there right now , none of them are good enough
At least he can use his arms.
A little over a week ago another centre half somehow lost a goalscorer whilst physically touching him.
Where was he touching him?
As I said , there is no good combination right now
Toby and Jan have been great defenders and I guess I am hoping they can rediscover that form somewhat
I simply just don't rate Sanchez , don't think he is progressing in anyway , in fact I feel like he has regressed drastically from his first season
Plus his passing out from the back is a disaster , at least the others are comfortable on the ball
He's visibly improving thanks to a run of games... If he can re-find his first season form (when notably he also enjoyed a sustained run) then surely that's a good thing and he can further build from there?
I am just not seeing this "visible" improvement mate
Maybe he is and I am blind to it , just seeing the same player I have seen for the best part of two years now i'm afraid
That's damning with faint praise ain't it? Like skinniest kid at fat camp stuff. It may be fact but it's not really something about which to be proud.
Fair point but it also points to (non-footballing) errors being made elsewhere...or a cynical plan.
Have you had icing made of anything other than a sugared substance? Feels a little bit liquid water.
No, but
bus-conductor
attempted to castigate and ridicule them out. Ultimately he was unsuccessful but not from lack of trying.Yes, and both do happen. But against Rondon(
) it was embarrassing. But most times it is a combination of balance and leverage (more rolled than outright ragdolled but the tussle can be mistaken). He gets preoccupied with body-ing the player which he did in the ManU game as well. I don't understand it since he has the recovery pace.I could attempt it on the 5 remaining on your pate if you desire a little help my slappy friend.
Folk waiting for Toby/jan of 16/18 to return think Bale's coming "home" too. Not going to happen they are both finished. I'm depressed by the thought that we will regress playing long ball football and old once good pro's under an old past it manager. The game constantly evolves( I so hope I'm wrong).
