KPB's debut In the Premiership.Verdict?

[Babylon22]

Thought he was pretty good.Covered alot of ground.Looks much stronger than ANY of our other midfielders.Got stuck in. Decent passing aswell. The Jenas and Boateng partnership could be the way forward(until january).

:shrug:

 

[TaoistMonkey]

yeah, minus the jenas part :up:

Can you get rid of your Rambo sig please? It's on most threads now and we all salute you as king of photoshop. Thanks.

he looked fairly good. Provided some sort of cover for the defence albeit from behind the man on the ball. Contrast to Jenas who is goalside and then runs behind the player. You wouldn't believe some of them had every played football before

 

[tony0379]

personally i feel he'll be given a fair run in the side now

 

[Doctor Who]

and this was his first match !! i see more coming from him

 

[Bill_Oddie]

he won't play more than once a week, I'm sure. The fact zokora replaced him after an hour despite the fact he did little wrong suggests Ramos just wanted to give him a chance, but doesn't necessarily see him as a full-time centre-mid.

He did pretty good though. Not brilliant, but worked hard and passed quite well. I would rather have the Hudd that started the season, but if it's the Hudd from the past 6/7 games, then he'll be lucky to get a spot in the ressies.

KPB, not convince, much like Kaboul's debut, not convince.
Because they both have what I call, Jello Body Syndrome.

Their body language says alot that they are not in the best of shape.

OH..another new entree to Jello Body Syndrome, Chimbonda...he looks like he'll crumble anytime on the pitch.

Jenas doesn't have Jello body syndrome but he looks like he'll fall on his face if the wind pick up speed.

 

[mdharris]

jello body syndrome...

All I'll say is that he looked like a completely different player to the one who played against Famagusta, totally 100% unrecognisable. He looked pretty decent yesterday.

 

[Michey]

I thought he played very good actually. Too bad he had the premierships most overrated player jenas beside him.

 

[spursyido1]

Having been at the game, I thought he was our best player.

I reckon that has more to do with the fact that Ramos makes changes in the middle to keep the tempo high when players begin to tire and also because KPB has not played in the prem yet. He is not fit but I thought he looked decent against Famagusta even though he played fairly poorly. He looks to pass and is composed on the ball and gets stuck in, he is a very typical Ramos centre mid.

 

[degoose]

kpb played very well, he got involved did some nice moves and held his ground. This was his first prem game with not much match practice at all. I hope he gets more chances.

 

[nowayjose]

Had to smile at his clearance technique, looked promising but was bullied off the ball on one or two times.

You are exactly right. He did not want us to fade and concede a late goal like we always do.

 

[gibbs131]

I was delighted. For a prem debut, away from home no less, he did great.

I recently started a thread where I said we should make this prem season productive since we have blown europe. We may as well play Prince, Tab in the Prem as the so called established mid fielders are dropping points. So we may as well let the kids cut their teeth and they will probably drop as many points as the Zoks and TT's of the squad, but the positive will be next season the young players will already be used to the prem.

 

[AlexSkree]

I thought he looked good..considering he hasnt played in the PL before and made his first game it looked good..A clever player who always wants the ball and can make a pass or run with it if needed! I liked him!

yeah I know his hair was 100% changed, making him totally unrecognizable
