Felliani has unbelievable ball control, a great first touch. He just dominates the opposition centre halves, just how tall is he? I'm guessing 6ft 4, maybe bigger
Proschwitz has good ball control and gets into good positions. It's just getting the ball to him in them dangerous areas, good crosses etc. Nick will be fine. He'll score one and he'll be brimming with confidence. We actually looked comfortable keeping the ball from Goal Kicks and clearances with Nick as a target man.
I seem to remember Fellaini sticking the elbow straight into the mush of Michael Turner during our Premier League years, and getting away with it. I think he did it twice, right under the nose of the ref. He's a dirty bastard. And it's his fault a percentage of Everton fans choose to wear 'comedy' wigs.
Everton are just a grubby little club hanging on the shirt tails of their bigger neighbours and bobbling about season after season just making the numbers up. The fans have perfected the art of influencing refs and officials. Dirty twat Fellani sums them up IMHO.
It always makes me feel like such a freak when people go on about the height of the likes of Fellaini when I'm 6"4 myself
I always get excited when I hear that we have signed someone tall in the 6'3 bracket, then remember that I am 6'3 and could not head the ball for toffee and was constantly marked by people taller than me. Height has no relevance to heading ability, despite people's insistance that it should, but luckily for Fellaini, he has both.
This used to drive me crazy. When I was playing college football the coach used to constantly insist that I should be throwing my weight around, winning the majority of headers, asking wingers to aim for me. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a terrible header of the ball but generally if I'm marked properly then I won't get any sort of good contact on it. Despite insisting for six months that I was far better with the ball at my feet and was actually better at picking a pass than heading, it took my entire team to turn on the coach before he actually listened Granted, he didn't have a clue what he was talking about anyway - his amazing advice to me was always along the lines of "I want you to watch Match of the Day, watch Drogba, and try and play like him next game."
Indeed. With that at full mast he must over 7ft tall ? Indeed. No worries over Nick P at the moment. He had Carrick and Vidic as his bitchies. Not many do that to Vidic. But agree he can also be invisable and disapear from games. You became the teams diver then did you ?
There is a slight worry because Nick hasn't scored in open play yet but yes I agree until we're @ least half a dozen games in then lets not judge him
i think prozzy could do with a couple of appearances off the bench to help in settle in.. even in the friendlies i saw him in, the game seemed a bit too frantic for him like he wasnt used to the pace of the game and thats odd because they where dull and slow as fcuk! , not sure what its like in the league he came from... needs to be eased in slowly imo..
