Necroing a thread to get a one up on someone there it seems ;)

Sorry but is "necroing" a word?

How much are the club paying you?  086.gif

Great cross from Kamara this evening but doesn't change my opinion of him. Happy to recognise a decent bit of play and pleased for him and the team.
Thought we were devoid of ideas 2nd half but somehow got the result. Would love to think that this might be a turning point but still not convinced.
If I had to single out weaker performances I would say Arter very lucky to be playing ahead of McDon ald.

Awful player and very much part of the problem. Zero football intelligence and severely limited ability. How he is still at the club and around the first team is mind boggling.

Egg on face.

To be honest his comment looked rather silly from the moment it was posted, but yes it looks even more silly now

I can understand these types of comments to an extent given that Kamara did appear to be somewhat of a headless chicken upon arrival, but even then it was apparent his pace and strength frightened the life out of defenders. He now appears to have got his head screwed on and is much better at his decision making; in stark contrast to Knockaert who still seems to always opt for cutting inside and shooting.

Great cross by AK for the goal last night - and really nice to see mitro and ak embrace after the final whistle.

Last 2 goals, crosses from AK, goals from Mitro, what's wrong with that? Just give him and Kebano more time please Scott.

I like him a lot but would prefer Ayite ! Why get rid ?

Interestingly on Monday night fix, TC stated that Ayite was the most underrated player he's ever played with. Not entirely sure why we got rid either- though he did seem to spend 1/2 his time injured.

My English Teacher once told me that the word Necroing is defined as " digging up a dead thread in a forum ".

If AK had a brain he'd be playing for someone a lot better than us. We should be appreciative of the skills he offers us that the rest dont.

AK's crossing has been pretty good. On the one occasion this season Mitro couldn't play, he did well up front.  He brings bags of strength, speed and urgency and he has the knack of cheering me up when he comes on.  Nothing short of a nightmare to mark.  He's done all that through hard work, which given he started life one of twenty children suggests he's not lacking in intelligence.  Football is a game of relentless mistake making.  In the final third you want people doing high risk high reward stuff that often goes wrong.   He is so positive in his efforts and delivers so much that is game-changing.

It is a word. It's in the urban dictionary. You must have had a pretty hip teacher.

You can't teach pace.   He's the fastest attacker we have, and any of our other attackers would have gotten caught on today's counter where he scored.   Until they spend more money on a player with a better brain, that has the same amount of pace, I'm super happy having AK47 as an impact sub and as our #1 backup striker.

(props to Cav for throwing it into a higher gear to keep up with Kamara on the counter btw)

"Props" means 'proper respect and recognition'.

Do you still reckon "most CBs and FBs in this league... have just as much pace" as Cavaliero?

Fitting that the ball came back to him to score after unselfishly laying it off when he could have went for goal himself.
