Gollum's first spell when he plonked him in the middle of the back three. Imperious.
I think Arnautovic's work rate is a bit of a myth. If he fancied it then yes, if not he was the laziest player on the pitch.
It's either shambolic, or a thing of beauty. There's no in-between with Masuaku!
Fit and interested he was a menace to all defences. Moyes got him up for it and firing, China knocked him off it and he became the player he was at Stoke, until the last 5 games when he had to justify the wages he wanted at his next job. He's not the first, he won't be the last, DiCanio was dogshit when uninterested, Payet couldn't be bothered his last half a season and so many more.ornchurch ammer wrote: ↑Mon Jan 06, 2020 12:28 pm I think Arnautovic's work rate is a bit of a myth.

When he's hot he's hot. Remember the home game against Chelsea when he just did whatever the hell he wanted and it all came off. Compared to Marko he always puts it in but doesn't always get it out.Burnley Hammer wrote: ↑Mon Jan 06, 2020 12:32 pm It's either shambolic, or a thing of beauty. There's no in-between with Masuaku!
It was quiet, and chanting and singing was very sporadic but we shouldn't be too surprised. The CBA attitude which had begun to overtake many of us is starting to permeate.
I have a feeling the stadium announcer got it wrong when he said there would be one minutes clapping for 'nice guy' Gary Rhodes and another minutes applause for the mental awareness thing.upton girlie wrote: ↑Mon Jan 06, 2020 2:45 am We wondered about the minutes silence for Mental Health too.
The stadium announcer told us around 6pm that there would be a total of two minutes ‘applause/silence’ - one for Gary and one for mental health. We saw the mental Health banner briefly but it got rushed away at 6.14pm. The Gary Rhodes minutes applause then commenced at 6.15pm.
I was on the understanding that the reason for the 6.16pm start was for the promotion/awareness of Mental Health across all clubs and the TV, and to use the minutes silence to reflect apon ourselves.
No disrespect meant towards the Gillingham FC supporting chef btw.
I wonder if Gillingham FC will get pulled up for it?
The point being that with or without Var it's the same for both teams.Belchio wrote: ↑Mon Jan 06, 2020 10:01 am This was a prime example why VAR should be removed 100% from the FA CUP with not all teams having access to it a distinct advantage or disadvantage is formed.
Several challenges last night could have resulted in VAR action. Yet the lack of it resulted in referring errors. Had VAR been present then Westham would of profited. Without VAR Gingham profited.
Other matches in this round have had VAR employed, which has changed the game and often the results.
It should be 100% removed for all ties so thats its a level playing field for all teams whom compete.
Thats what you pay for. The higher the price the greater the consistency of quality. Most if not all players in the top 2 divisions have unbelievable talent and ability to cut it. Only the very best can do it week in week out and play in a championship winning side. Anderson is also highly talented but lacks the mentality to cut it in a top 2 1st eleven. That is possibly why the middle of the premier and possibly the championship are so closely contested, as each club us stocked full of high level but inconsistent players.Burnley Hammer wrote: ↑Mon Jan 06, 2020 12:32 pm It's either shambolic, or a thing of beauty.
