FoF MOTM Wycombe 1 v 1 Fulham and Post Match Thread = Lecomte

[Snibbo]

At least we now know why Marco hasn't played JKA. He contributed absolutely nothing. We might as well played with 10 men. The penalty was the worst since Lookman. If what he showed today is even remotely close to his actual level it seems like an utterly pointless loan. If he had at least tried, but he looked lazy and totally uninterested.

Lecomte was my MOTM, for obvious reasons.

Don't think Marco wanted him signed,that's why he hasn't played.

Well, after what I saw today I can totally understand why Marco didn't want him signed, if that's even the case and not just speculation on your part.

It's the old "if he's good he must be Marco's, if he's bad he must be TK's". Pure uninformed guesswork I suspect.

Cauley Woodrow my MOM. Had we lost there's no-one who deserved to have beaten us more. He was treated abominably IMO being discarded far too quickly and replaced by awful mistakes like Kamara. Good to see CW still putting in a shift.

He was good yesterday and I like him but he was not good enough for us which was why he was discarded. Even Kamara made a much greater impact in the Champ than Woodrow did.

For the second part, it's just a matter of what you personally consider superb then. You seemingly have a much higher bar then me.

Look mate, you're certainly free to think Adama's first half performance against Villa was "superb: marked to the highest degree by grandeur, excellence, brilliance, or competence" but if that's the case I think the only people who'd agree with you would be members of his family. It's not my bar that's too high, it's yours WAY too low.

Another unneccessary thing to say, just like your earlier yikes comment.

It's not my bar that's too high, it's yours too low. 

Again, that's subjective. You think my bar is too low, I don't.

Why? I think it's a pretty straightforward accurate statement.

Again, that's subjective. You think my bar is too low, I don't.

So you seriously thought Adama's first half performance against Villa was "marked to the highest degree by grandeur, excellence, brilliance, or competence"? Because that's what superb means. It doesn't mean good, very good or even great.

[SerbianLad]

Okay then, I should make statements like that whenever I feel like what I am saying is accurate.

"marked to the highest degree by grandeur, excellence, brilliance, or competence"? Because that's what superb means.

of excellent quality; very great
https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/superb
If something is superb, its quality is very good indeed.
If you say that someone has superb confidence, control, or skill, you mean that they have very great confidence, control, or skill.
Oxford Dictionary:
superb:very good; excellent.

Yes, I think Adama was very good, excellent, of excellent quality, very great,etc. in the first half, which is what every major English language dictionary says is the meaning of superb. Not sure where your definition comes from.

of excellent quality; very great

Yup, not simply good, very good or even great. It's a word when used in the context of describing athletic performance used rarely, only for the best of performances.

And nobody but you (or like I said Adama's relatives) thought he was superb in that half against Villa.

It's a game of opinions.
I was at the game and I can tell you I was constantly raging against Traore.
I think the issue with him (and maybe all players) is we evaluate them against what they are capable of. We know he has it in the locker to be an absolute weapon that is unplayable. Last night he made so many bad decisions when in good positions. He hardly ever does the obvious thing which is to bomb it down the wing and whip in a cross. He is invariably overcomplicating things. That's what's so frustrating and why he gets a lot of flack.

I know. I didn't think he was just good, I thought he was of excellent quality, very great. I forgot about Merriam-Webster, but I see now that they do give that definition you pointed out(it's the only dictionary that does so though, so more cherry picking from you).

But I'm done, no matter what you write next I'll just ignore it. I don't even know what are you trying to do? In my opinion he was superb in that first half and no matter what you post, I'll stand by my opinion. So have a nice day!

I was going to give you the benefit of the doubt as a non native English speaker and say that maybe you didn't realize how superb is actually used by native speakers, but no, you did actually think Adama was "very great" in that half. Wow.

[Sting of the North]

Maybe one could make a point without trying to ridicule another poster's opinion.

Just a thought.

[SerbianLad]

Cheers! If he was any better I'd use world-class, phenomenal or something like that. Superb, is the tier below that and then comes great and so on so and so forth.

[SerbianLad]

That's a point I tried to make two times, but it was a "pretty straightforward, accurate statement" so it's okay apparently.

[Chi_FFC]

LOL, I think everyone who's posted here for any length of time knew that this wasn't going to end up being true.

Cheers! If he was any better...

Let's be clear that this off topic discussion of Adama's performance against Villa was started by you. Frankly, I still have no idea at all what it had to do with the discussion of who was "more dangerous" yesterday. I'll take some of the blame for things going off the rails as I really should know better than to engage with you here, but occasionally you say something so off base I get sucked in.

And finally, I'd contend some opinions expressed here are so out there they actually do deserve at least a little ridicule.
