They are the perfect example of how English football is unforgiving to lightweights from lesser physical leagues.
Thanks mate. To be honest, there's not many of the red and whites I dislike. I had the gloves on with Smug for a long time, but now we give ourselves a wide berth on heated occasions, but get along fine now. My main nemesis was NMG, but I got a cracking private message off him one day which totally changed my view of him.
My best mates a Mag , so I know u Mags can be sound. My main enemy's Boro I hate them !! You seem a top lad though mate, so I've got nowt bad to say !
But for every Cabella or Anita there's a Cabaye or a Tadic. You can't tell how they will handle the transition until they've made it imo.
It's a pundits line ain't it? 'ou never know how they are going to cope with the physicality'. I've not seen a player kicked out of the Premier League they are too well protected, those that fail either lack the ability or the mental strength. Generally, those tht fail, it's because they can't adapt to less time on the ball more than anything, size is not a factor in that.
That's it init, It's players speeding up their decision making that's the problem. You hear people saying S American player can't cope with the physicality, it's bollocks, it's the pace and the tendency to press the man instead of space. Footballer come in all shapes and sizes, they alway have and always will. I mean Juninho looked like an 8 year old kid and the Premier League was much more physical back then. Catt like Midfielders were everywhere, now they're a dying breed.
