    Baffled that folk downplaying Gyokeres mind.

    He is the best player I’ve seen at SOL for years he was absolutely immense for Coventry. He didn’t score as many goals as he wasn’t played as an out out 9.

    The Portuguese league is a breeding ground for sensational talent t that goes and plays all over Europe. For the record people do not average a goal a game over there, that is freakishly good stats.

    Evanilson came from there, scored 3 in 10 PL which is a solid start, he averaged 1 in 3 over there.

    Gyokeres is a phenomenal player and if he goes to the right club that setup up to feed him he will score in any league on earth.

    Whilst it’s true that a 3rd of that league is a poor standard, Gyok has scored goals in all the big games (Porto, Benfice, Braga, Guimares) and in European competitions too.

    He has scored in 3 of 4 CL games (5 in 4 games) and scores 1 in 2 for Sweden, who again don’t use him like Sporting.

    Depends if someone buys him as a focal point (United, Arsenal) or as a wider user forward player (Liverpool, Chelsea), but for sure he will make an impact and score his share wherever he goes and however they use him.

    He is a really smart footballer who links the game, can play back to goal, carries it well and has good vision and can finish. He is a superb footballer.

    Coventry been nowhere since he left.

    How did the Ref restart with a bounce ball thought he blew for a free kick against Maja?

    Sky desperately trying to make this game sound interesting ...

    ... it really isn't <doh>

    Neither manager seems to have much in the way of tactics considering they're both 'top coaches'.

    West Brom just pass it to Fellows and hope he pings it across the box ...

    ... Burnley just whack it down the wings like Preston did last night.

    That's just not a foul. Should be 1-0 Burnley.

    WBA got away with that. Very soft foul to give.

    Ref made a rod for his own back now from corners
