I remember Altidore doing something similar on Alan Hutton and Hutton going down like he had been hit by a ton of bricks. I also remember reserving some rather choice words for a certain Mr Bruce as he became animated on the touchline urging the ref to send Altidore off. How times change...........
Just Altidore I think. In a further twist of fate, Altidore now plays for the club he was last sent off against in the PL.
[video=youtube;Bf95D9yUwI4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bf95D9yUwI4[/video] Turns out he was. I thought so. Sent off for throwing a ball at a player
I think he's a bit **** to be honest. He went through behind everyone, clear on goal and just waved a leg at it gently, completely missing the ball and failing to either pull it back or get a shot off. I hate wasteful players but what the **** even was that? If we didn't get the penalty that could have been a massive moment and he just did nothing at all with it. I hope I'm wrong and he turns out to be good but from what I've seen of him he just seems like a fast lad with no skill or purpose whatsoever. Too early to judge fully yes, but everyone's writing Graham off and I don't see what he's done wrong whereas Sagbo looks ****e to me.
I was just going to start a thread off about this. Grahams been written off and Sagbo's wonderful but i never saw anything he did at Chelsea or yesterday worthy of praise. hope he is brilliant in the end, mind. Graham did ok when he came on. The turn he did down the touchline to win a free kick was good. Want him to get on the scoresheet asap to get his confidence up
Before he got sent off, we put two decent crosses into the box with no-one there.... On both occasions Sagbo was nowhere near the play. Bruce was giving him what for on both chances for being out of position.
Bloody Hell You've seen him play on the wing against the best side in the division and only 20 odd minutes against the sort of team you should be looking to beat at home. Give him half a chance.
Sagbo has looked like a man mountain to be. Holding the ball up well and laying it off to the wingers\attacking midfielders. The only thing he needs to work on, IMO, is busting a gut after he has played the pass to make sure he is in the box to receive it back again. I see a lot more potential in Sagbo than Graham. (In the style of play we have adopted...)
I suppose the same could also be said about Graham though. I bet he hasnt touched a ball more than 10 times yet!
Yeah you're right, and I could well turn out to be completely wrong. That's just my view of him so far.
Shephards and sheep. Naturally happens on all forums. One person says something, several agree to the point where others dare not upset the apple cart. In this case, Graham's been largely written off.
I couldn't believe the stat on MotD that we have had 6 red cards in our last 15 prem games. Now I remember the Altidore one and obviously Sagbo but who were the other four (too lazy to look it up)?
