depends, if it's someone you've known for years then it's jokey, but if it's someone you don't know then it isn't, it's condescending at a minimum and totally out of the blue, but it's the world we're in where people casually act in this way dragging the tone down.
I didn’t give him grief before I’d seen him play 3 full games so don’t tar everyone with the same brush - that’s all I’m saying and when you throw around comments like that expect some thing back which isn’t too palatable
Have to trust Wilder to make that call. He has seen him in training So must see something. I would start him at Old Trafford and see if he rises to the occasion. If not then he loses his place for the bigger game at Loftus road.
I didn't say that YOU gave him grief...I didn't throw any comment at YOU (or indeed any insults at all) to deserve any childish insults back, this is all happening in your head. Shame you couldn't be man enough to admit you were wrong and out of order. But that's a reflection of your character not mine.I didn’t give him grief before I’d seen him play 3 full games so don’t tar everyone with the same brush - that’s all I’m saying and when you throw around comments like that expect some thing back which isn’t too palatable
He probably isn't wrong on either of those players not lasting the distance, Warnock rarely gave Watmore the full 90, and with Wilder demanding defence from the front, then I'm not entirely surprised. Howson at 33 is also struggling with the pace at times, that's no surprise really
exactly this, he would do better with Payero in midfield, someone who plays with their head up. I also feel it should be Connolly or Sporar in the side with support from Balogun or Watmore. That's a better mix
I've noticed Tav has tried to play him through a couple of times and it hasn't quite come off. Payero played a lovely ball through to Sporar the other day so definitely has it in his locker.
Absolutely! That’s my point, we have no time to waste, he’s had 3 games and shown almost nothing!
Front three! Front three!
But you'll also see at no point did I say he will guarantee goals, I said don't write him off, he's putting the effort in, and it's too early to judge properly...and it was. If we judged Zenden after 2 games he would have been booted out of the first team and the club. Some people take time to settle. Connolly hasn't had the goal return we would have hoped, that's obvious, but he has offered something to the team just not quite enough so far.
Comparing him with zenden is a joke, zenden had huge pedigree, he had played regularly for barca and chelsea. Most people knew zendens quality it just took a tactical change to get the best out of him. Contrast that with relatively unknown quantity Connolly, who you keep insisting has talent, i will say it again in what exactly are you seeing that everyone else isnt.
I'm not comparing him am I. I'm comparing the fans reactions with early validation of a player. We've seen it plenty of times with players written of after 2 games, or adored after a debut to become a flop.
