Chico vs Stoked : 86% pass success . He won half the aerial battles with Crouch , Williams won none .Chico had 6 clearences and kept the Potters hoofball game down to a dull roar.He had 5 interceptions and 4 tackles , under miserable conditions he held down the fort.We like to shine a light on Chico's negatives , and for a reason I guess . But without his positives, there was no point without his good defensive play and looping header at Brittannia . We are very lucky to have such a reader of the game at this important point of the season , bargainamania when we inked him.
I thought and still do that all of Laudrups signings have not disappointed , the obvious exceptions are the loan striker positions .Chico has all the attributes of a very good footballer and that was more than demonstrated on Wednesday .perhaps it's a coincidence but all the players seemed to have upped their game since Monk has taken over .
Using my non existent lip reading skills he turned to Routledge after about 40 minutes of the Caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaardiff game and said, "Oi mush! F*cking sort it out, is it?" He scored 2 minutes after half time, that's man management right there.
Only 3 players on the team have more premier league goals this season than Chico ,only 5 players have more shots and shots on goal than Chico on the team .I think Chico has played a part in more premier league games than anyone . No red cards, yet lol. I'll feel a whole lot better if we start our first game next season with Chico on the pitch and Monk , with a little transfer help , still in the dugout .
