On a side-note; with Kane and possibly Del out, should Janssen be brought into the match day squad for Huddersfield?
It’d be the logical thing to do assuming Nando starts up top, always good to have another striker on the bench. Unless we give Parrott a shot, been superb for the 18s this season.
It's almost worth taking bets on who ends up on the bench Vincent Janssen Troy Parrott J'Neil Bennett
Providing he is fit of course we should, Along with Parrott. Often an injury turns out to be the chance a forgotten, or young player needs to kickstart their career.
He left for the "glory" (and the extra filthy lucre just a coincidence) . He returned to his old club, and to a home crowd that he is unlikely to experience as a Citeh player (just wait and watch for their next two home games against Spurs) .
Barca are not averse to the "dark arts" when needs must. Fortunately they are usually so superior to their opponents that they don't really need to resort to it (which I guess is why you remember it more) . IMHO you notice it more with Citeh, because with the competitive nature of the PL top 6, there are 10 games per season where they don't start on paper with Barca-esque superiority. This week their "take one for the team" fouling distributed among several players was obvious (perhaps football could do something akin to the basketball "team fouls" regime - or in rugby when the ref says the next infringement results in someone going to the bin and they don't care who it is) .
Graham Poll did an article for the Fail in 2011 (dream team!) where he referred to it as machine gunning. Everyone kicks the most dangerous player on the opposition team for their first foul and it makes it hard for the ref to act. It was pretty bloody obvious in this game.
That happened to Hazard in a game against Man Utd. Eventually the ref got fed up, and the next player that fouled Hazard got the yellow (though not being the worst of all the fouls committed up to then) .
Wouldn't it be nice if Janssen could become another Sissoko with a gift for scoring goals...…..only joking!!!!!?
I think that this commentator might be a little better than the last one, you know? I wanna be in that number...
Yeah I said it at the start of the season, he's brilliant. Has a real 'football voice' and just 'gets it'. Couldn't stand that monotone bloke before him, would just suddenly screech and sound like a complete knob.
Gosh.How things have changed since my first game v Villa in 1953 standing at the front of the "Shelf"! (Not knowing who Danny Blanchflower was!!!!)
