  1. Mentally tough people dont fall for Jose's cheap troll tricks and lose their joy when they are questioned.
  2. Surprised his thread didnt blow up after he scored the winner today. Brilliant performance by him once again.
  3. Beating the bad sides are how you win the league. We'd be top of the table if we handled the business against WBA and stoke.
  4. I think there was no question talent-wise he was good enough. I just don't think mentally he was strong enough to be a squad player for us at this point in his life. Kind of Charlie Adam when he left blackpool.
  5. This was a crap move IMO. Especially considering the one time Bertrand played he was more than good enough as a backup.
  6. Or less since people were trying to place Oscar back there since they were desperate for Mata to get game time.
  7. Happy for him. Hopefully he remains healthy and keeps Welback away from the pitch this summer in Brazil.
  8. He could have easily been born in London, named John Mark, and sent away as a kid for being too small and slow while the kids hoofed the ball up to Andy Carroll. If are if's, but the idea that magically someone who rides the bench for his nation is too good to ride the bench of a club that has the choice of getting the best players from around the world is preposterous. Then he isnt too good to be a squad player, and Fabregas isnt either as many from Arsenal said he was.
  9. Because a guy too good to be a squad player would have to be more than a squad player for their nation to get placed in such a category. To even be at this club you have to be at the top 1-2% or so of footballers on this earth. There isnt a player in our senior squad who isnt good enough to go somewhere and have a very capable, if not great, side built around them. They ALL are too good to be squad players, but if you add them together we have a great squad. That is what every club should be reaching for.
  10. How is he too good to be a squad player? I dont get that type of idea that players who are very talented cant be squad players. hIf e isnt too good to be a squad player for Spain, then he isnt too good to be a squad player for our club.
  11. I dont think the vast majority of our squad members would do that. Mata isnt the first person to ever be subbed when he wants to stay on.
  12. Their loss today was their first in a long time. Dangerous side if we dont come prepared.
  13. If the Bison can sit on the bench, then so can Mata. It was a poor reaction, and one you would expect from a kid not a 25 year old veteran on this team.
  14. Both the subs directed the goals. Brilliant by mou
  15. I'd take a point here. This is probably one of the hardest matches of the season.
  16. but if hes getting the shots then he ha s to be less as bad as them.
