Watkins knows what he's doing
absolute cunt, what is he expecting.
What a load of shit, you don't celebrate right in an opponent's face.
Yes a bit cheeky by Watkins and he knows it hence ignoring the pushes from Palhinha but it is in front of his owns fans. I am not criticising btw, I like his fight and said so in the match thread. No can claim he has not done something untoward though.
Very well said
Frank does not inspire the players unfortunately so it is up to the players to be inspired by their on-field leaders showing commitment and passion (and hopefully the requisite skill level) - JP and VdV are two classic "backs-to-the-wall" on-field leaders - we need them very badly right now - they will inspire the youngsters
He’s actually a decent passer when he has time on the ball.
His turning circle is wider than the Titanic and his feet are rarely quick enough to get him out of trouble BUT what he’s good at, he does brilliantly.
Yep, they hate losing, but losing without fight disgusts them, they are proud men, that's the greatest quality any sportsman can have.
He may well be without pressure, but playing midfield your expected to be under pressure, just feels like every time I see him hit a diagonal its a poor ball.
Yeah hes a great tackler and has good shot on him, has good leadership quality aswell
100%!
the talk of him being a donkey on the ball makes me laugh, youd think we have a squad full of iniesta and messi's lol.
as you say, we need fucking warriors! football always has! unless you have a prime barca who can keep the ball for fun, you need men who drag people into the trenches!
Having chilled out a bit. He was passionate and played with some bite. Great to see.
On balance, I’m still not into the idea of buying him permanent.
If we see that level every week and actually win games then I’ll change my mind but not yet.

Palhinha would not fit in at Tottenham.
He comes first in too many attribute scoring charts to play for a team with such a losing mentality.
Me too. I want him in for Bentancur. Then get better and have doing 25 min bursts.
Frank’s built the style of the team around him. Great for Paulinha - shit for us.
hey?? hes been dropping him for bentancur...hows that building the style around palhinha lol
Both of them need to go. As does Frank.
Can’t wait for a serious coach like Poch to get here and clear out that midfield.
lets bring back little harry winks as well, poch loved him.
Winks was good for Poch before injuries slowed him down massively. He turned to crap under Jose.

Portuguese Steffen Freund could never.
Many non league players can loft or switch the ball accurately with a bit of time. It’s not a positive really
As you say he has slow feet and cant pass the ball in the PL. he’s clunky and gets caught, and goes backwards
