P.S. I know you quoted that from an article. yes, was a quote from an article I forgot to post the link https://www.caughtoffside.com/2021/07/02/Chelsea-target-rice-sends-good-luck-message-to-blues-star/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Farke understating big time here. Billy basically created the 2-1 with his run and pass just as various other chances. DH1988 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DH1988 1,348 Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 I know opposition etc but Gilmour was fantastic in this game. Looking forward to watching Norwich this season, especially as Cantwell is back in the prem, great talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DH1988 1,348 Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Think its fair to say this isn't shaping up to be a good loan for Billy, early days, but still, even watching him tonight its just lax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikkiCFC 8,334 Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Lost starting place in worst team in the league. And they got first point. Completely opposite to Gallagher this season is going for him... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fifty years ago Kenny Dalglish was just establishing himself in the Celtic first team and it would be another five years before he moved to Liverpool. At Anfield he became a key part of one of the greatest English club teams ever along with his international teammates Alan Hansen and and Grahame Souness. That's just one era of one team and we've already found three Scottish footballers whose talent dwarfs Billy's. I know Klopp was just trying to be nice but for a compliment to really mean anything it has to be believable. As it is, Klopp's comment must be the stupidest thing he's ever said about football. Meanwhile... Billy seems to be getting stick from some Norwich fans. I'm on record as a non believer when it comes to Billy but he's getting minutes so I'd like to see him stay at Norwich, tough it out and play his way through this. What do other people think?

He is getting into Ampadu territory for me. Not sold at all. Will probably get dropped again from lineup for Norwich. And I hate when they put him in same sentence with Gallagher in context of possible return next season for MF. Like he is anywhere near...

Ampadu territory? Wouldn’t say he’s there or remotely close. I was gonna comment about the video of Norwich fans signing at him. I really don’t get the Norwich fans going after him - aye he’s not played as well as we’d and they would have hoped… I don’t get it, they’ve got so many guys who have also been horrendous this season and have spent like 3 seasons in the PL where they’ve been battered under Daniel Farke and celebrated the whole season of being there getting pumped 30 out of 38 games a season like a second rate club would so for a section of their fans to go after a 20 y/o loan player like that, especially now, it blows my mind. Unfortunately, he is playing for a championship team who are definitely going down, where its likely accurate that 75-80% of their squad aren’t anywhere near good enough to keep them in the PL. They have no obligation to play him and thats fine but honestly, how many players of the calibre he is at/better than he is at do they have? Its not just why Billy’s struggling, its why they are struggling to get results - because the majority of them aren't at the level. Re Gallagher and Gilmour, all this season shows is what difference a good loan (or loans in CG’s case) and a bad loan can do to people’s perception. Norwich looked a decent loan at the beginning because Farke’s always went to play a possession based style but its turned out a disaster probably. Anyone unsure of Billy’s ability to play at a higher level than Norwich should watch the clips of him play against Liverpool, Everton and virtually any Scotland game hes started in. He can definitely be a top top MF player, have said that since I seen him playing for Rangers u20 aged 15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikkiCFC 8,334 Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Cannot see him back in the team after injury even with this manager. Now they got 2 wins in a row and look better team without him. With Billy 12 games 5 points Without 10 games 11 points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After his mooted move became public I watched his Rangers academy highlight videos and commented that he would find a lot of youth team players at Cobham that were more talented than him. As for the video watching challenge, I will if you will. For me, the Liverpool game was good (not withstanding the fact that the most memorable moment benefitted from a slice of luck) but not as good as billed, the Toffees game was not as good as the Liverpool one and the England game was a dramatic example of 'overhyped'. An unspectacular performance in my view As you can tell I have watched those videos but I will watch them again. If you decide to do the same, I'd be really interested to know what you think about the Grimsby game. I left the ground that night really buzzing about Billy's performance but for me that display looses a lot of its sheen in the cold light of the day.

He is tiny and him coming on vs Sheffield iirc cost us the game with his clumsiness and tendency to be dispossessed easily. Ordinary at best. Hopefully he proves me wrong. he showed a few nice glimpses but i stay with my assessment that he will not become a top player here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
