2021/22 Donny van de Beek

[TimHowardsBeardJuice]

Weren't posters comparing him to Barry in his prime? lol I agree People need to let things play out a little before making grandiose declarations. For me I need a couple more games before i brand him the next Scholes.

Or the next Schneiderlin.

This fan base is full of emotional wrecks. One day he’s the second coming of Christ and the next he’s useless.

It’s utterly embarrassing reading people gushing over players that have been around for five minutes.

It’s a joke, people never learn.

I remember Gomes first few games and some on here where saying he was one of the best players ever to play for us, seriously.

If they come in a play well, wait and see give them time.

If they come in and play bad, wait and see give them time.

I’ll admit that I was initially very much in the Gomes fan club. He had a bit of elegance that I was not used to seeing here.

I’ve learned my lesson now.

Can we at least judge him when he is not paired with Gomes? No midfielder in the world can perform well alongside gomes.

VDB needs to be in a three to free him up a bit hopefully we see it when Doucoure is back

Incredible really that I don’t think we’ve started a midfield 3 once all season. Must only be us and Burnley to do that.

West Ham only play with a 2. But that's Rice and Soucek who are arguably in the top midifield partnerships in the league, and are pure athletes

Spot on. A huge case of Gomesitis on here, and it tends to be those with the thinnest skin.

Sounds like an antibiotic will cure the problem.

 

[DL100]

We will see the best of VDB when Doucoure is back.

A prudent stance @CharliePotato for I have made several rash judgements in my time.
I ceased doing so during the sixties (Warning; arl git incoming) when three players shaped our destiny for a far too short a period.
One player arrived full of swagger and confidence and determination.
One arrived and initially looked lost and looked as though he wished to be somewhere else.
One was an academy product who was about to change the whole meaning of the number 10 role and needed acceptance.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Ball, Kendall and Harvey.
The rest, as they say, is geography.

That's what moyes does best, creates partnerships all over the pitch. Westham were abysmal the other day and still got a scruffy point.

 

[PhilRegan]

It's the type of behaviour that will continue to see Coleman playing and Kenny given a new contract

And Delph

 

[Zeitgeist]

And Delph

No way he gets one haha, even for us

Delph will retire in the summer you’d imagine.

I guess it depends what league we are in , I think the club will want to retain his " winning mentality " if we end up relegated
