Straq's last two performances

slimspek · February 5, 2012

I think he did pretty well, he set up a few of chances and had a few himself. He actually surprised me with how good some of his passes were! He showed off his passing range today which we haven't really seen.

Yeah, there is no way he was bo*locks, more subdued but there were some nice touches from him, some people seem to view in black and white.

Sometimes you need to look at it in black and white.

He had a few nice touches but was outjumped 9 times out of 10, didn't score, didn't assist and didn't hold the ball up that well. A few good touches doesn't mean he was good. Maybe he wasn't bollocks but he was poor.

Ok, fair enough, but your redefined assessment is more considered and nearer the mark.

I'd spent loads of money, wrecked my shoes and nearly died from pneumonia going to watch that yesterday. My knee-jerk-ometer was going wild.

Tell us more about your shoes lad.
btw, Denis did OK yesterday, no better, no worse, but I can see where you get "poor" from.

Edit : I was there. As a wool, I thought it was quite balmy. It was certainly colder at home.

What a man!! His energy levels are just out of this world!

STRACQ STRACQ STRACQ...ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK!

Fair play. He's a bit of a grock let's be honest, but he's passionate as [Poor language removed] and has an insane work rate. It can't be easy for him having to play in this league at the tempo, and his fitness levels before coming here must have been nowhere near enough. But he's doing it.

Get in Denis you big loveable monster.

Abraders · February 11, 2012

He's more intelligent than we think, i like his play.

His touch is definitely getting better, still heavy at times.

Glad he scored.

hes a bit more subtle than he is given credit for, it looks like he has got a sound footballing brain

He's a grock but he's our grock. If he keeps playing like that he's got a good chance of a permanent contract. He needs to do it against a couple of lesser teams but since we've got Arsenal and Spurs in the next two league games at home he can build his momentum.

Awesome today.

Home games FTW, and Arsenal need a sound kickin.
