Styles 9,790 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 The ball bounced up just as he hit which is why he hit the bar, would have been a goal otherwise.Very good game, he presses really well and intelligently. I wish he was 3 years younger. Blue Armour and BleedsBlue 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special Juan 28,141 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 His constant closing down alone was enough for me, he never stopped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Flash 1,144 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 No its ok i have now seen it 3 times and he still did ******* nothing. We must give Ba a shot, he can't be worse. I like Samuel I do but he is so inconsistent and was poor yesterday I am sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yuvala 2,167 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I really admire his dedication and passion.However he's obviously not even half the player he used to be.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I was so hopeful after the Utd game, however sadly it seems to have been a fluke. He is back to being woeful. We might as well have had no striker on yesterday he was terrible, So many chances he wasted. It was hard to watch when the rest of the team did brilliant. Ah well just as well our defenders can score I think we were watching different games. The Samu I did gave his absolute all, and in games like that, that is all you can ask of a striker playing in a team that doesn't need a striker.

Special Juan 28,141 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 There wasn't a bad player on the field, end of.I think there is a notion that if a striker doesn't score he's been poor, not the case here. He works his cock off last night, I don't know what more could of been asked of him that he didn't carry out. Yes he never scored but fuck me did he put a shift in. didi007 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedsBlue 1,549 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 His pressing and link up play was quite amazing. Truly a team player. Well played Samuel! Barbara 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Just sublime today. Movement, pressing, link-up, everything. If Hazard wasn't from another planet, he'd have been my MOTM. Barbara, Styles and Excalibur KTBFFH 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara 15,149 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 The only striker that we should keep from the ones we currently have.A lot of class and experience, he didn't score, but he's had a GREAT match, not only with the assist, but how he's linked up, dribbled, helped our attack.I want him to stay and be our 3rd striker Styles, Mufassir08, didi007 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Styles 9,790 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Another good game, in fact he's been in good form for weeks in my opinion.I have said for a long time Hazard needs a technical striker to play one-twos with and his second goal today was a perfect example. That's one reason why I don't rate Torres or think Lukaku is a good option for us, we need a technically brilliant striker to compliment our players. Peace. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 The more he plays, the better he gets. He is actually adapting far better than I expected, not just to the league but adapting into the striker the team needs, in terms of his work rate.

Weckerz 3,781 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 He seems to be developing great understanding with our AM's, Hazard in particular. He has a tendeny to put his head down and go for the impossible sometimes but he's been linking up well and playing pretty tidy lately, credit where it's due... yuvala 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Armour 4,442 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Really, good...and his close control is a joy to behold at times. Very much like the old Eto'o minus the deadly finishing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamon 103 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Really, good...and his close control is a joy to behold at times. Very much like the old Eto'o minus the deadly finishing.Yes, Eto'o is showing his class and he is playing well, but let me say it is not only the straight finish that lacks compared to his old self: Eto'o was much more than this, much more; if you didn't see him playing on a regular basis, you really can't understand what I mean.The Eto'o of now wouldn't even think to do a thing like this: Also the Eto'o of old used to play a lot in Hazard's position, and he has been the player who accomplished the greatest number of dribblings (95, if I'm not wrong) in Italy during 2011 season.Now it is:Willian Oscar HazardEto'o Before it was:Pandev Sneijder Eto'oMilito A totally different story, trust me. Being said that, I'm really happy for what he is doing (considering he really came out of a "golden" retirement), especially for his winner mentality: you never forget that.

If on the other hand there was space begging to be exploited then Lukaku will be the one to come on. Barbara and Styles 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post! The Skipper 20,609 Posted February 9, 2014 Popular Post! Share Posted February 9, 2014 That link up play with Hazard today was orgasmic. Really hope we get a proper technical striker in the summer, someone like Benzema would be ideal.Wouldn't mind if we kept hold of Samuel for one more year, especially if we sold Torres and Ba.

didierforever 7,349 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 He is startimg to peeform real good. If he continues on the same vein then I won't be one bit surprised that he would get an extension. Starting to deserve the 1st striker role for now.
