Yannick Bolasie

[Darth Toffeeman]

Cant. . . . stop . . . singing . . . that . . . song . . . in . . . my . . . head . . .

Seriously was proper buzzing after watching the game last night and then spent about 3 hours catching up with stuff on here and on Twitter and ended up with 'electrobrain' and had a shocking nights sleep , but on the plus side Yannick ,Yannick Bolasie runs down the wing for me so every cloud . . . !

Sat in work tapping my feet and humming it to myself.

What makes it worse is that technically it is the soundtrack to an ITV twee drama.
People think I am a Nick Berry/Buddy Holly fan!
Then I tell them... Yannick Bolasie!
Puzzled looks galore.

In a different era which in comparisons is unjust to compare yes we had a great teams not knocking that
Today it's about money Leicester broke the mould last season I suggest we may do it this season and get slaughtered - We have been a big club proud to be a blue, but our last trophy 1995!
That 2nd half gave me belief RK can get us up there where we belong!

7th ;-)

That chant stuck in my head this morning

Lets hope its stuck there all season !

 

[MartyMcFly]

Was it cramp he went off with or an injury?

Yea you could see him mouth it as he went off. I think he's fine.

 

[MartyMcFly]

Could we do a Leicester????

I think the top teams are too "on it" to do a Leicester but we just need to build a nice head start on as many teams as possible with our fixture list and then hold on till Christmas and see were we are then.

Look it's my opinion when will we win the Prem then ?
I mention Leicester and oh we are bigger than them go and cry into your hanky - I mention we could emulate what they did last season and get hounded ok!

It wouldn't be emulating Leicester IMO, it would be closer to emulating Atletico or Valencia's La Liga wins.. A big shock.. but not one of the biggest shocks in the history of man

I know. That Leicester result is so freaky. In a way if they drop back to were they normally are all it will do is remind people what an achievement it actually was.

 

[BlueToff]

Right, let's get a grip lads/lassies, ey? We've had a great start, let's not get carried away.

Only focus is the next game - a very tough home game against a good side.

Bolasie is boss. He'll frustrate at times, but overall, he's boss.

 

[mightymoyes]

Him on the left, del on the right and Mirallas in the middle is the way to go

All these pundits that said he has no end product lollollol

not just pundits, a large % of our 'knowledgable' fan base too.
early days but hes making them eat their words

 

[Baines' left foot]

It's not surprising his final ball has improved now he's playing with a proper striker and not Dwight Gale ffs.

All those who doubted him will be feeling very silly this morning. Take a long hard look at yourselves in the mirror. The absolute state of you, you'll never learn.

Only a fool would question Koeman and Walsh's recruitment given their track record.. Therefor I am confident Valencia will add something too!

I don't.

There'll be games where his crossing is as poor as his shooting, or where his control is as poor as Lukaku's can be, but I won't then be saying: "There you go, that's what you get for £25m+"

I still think we've paid well over the odds, and last night's performance is gonna have to be repeated many times - and against far superior sides - before I change my mind.

I'm a harder taskmaster than Ronald, in that respect.

 

[Kantareller]

I thought he played well, some nice crosses and intentions. Yes, he fell over a few times but he always looked like a threat when he had the ball.

 

[Kev The Rat]

I was one of the very few to back this signing.

He's clearly dangerous and I for one look forward to see him supplying Lukaku this season.

 

[Ashtonian]

Genuine question. Forget the price tag for a minute and focus on the player.

Would you think bringing Bolasie in as an option alongside del, kev, lennon, was a good signing?

We may have overpaid but do you think as an option, whether it was 22 million, 50 million, or a free transfer, do you think he was a good addition for the left hand side?
