The Fab Four

[kiss the crest]

I would just like to say that I have not been excited watching Walcott Siggy Bernard and Richarlson for a long time, yesterday every time they went forward you knew a chance was going to be created, the passing movement and pace, great to watch.

I know it’s early days and still some time to gel properly, but it is miles away from what we seen last year.

..how good to see an ‘after a win’ thread.

 

[Toffee in Jandals]

Please, please let's not call them the "fab four" FFS. Leave that sort of thing to the brain-dead Kopites.

 

[GwladysBlue]

Swap Walcott with Lookman and see what he can do. Walcott has one good game every five. Nowhere near consistently enough.

I think it was meant in a tongue in cheek/pastiche manner mate.

But hey it’s nice to have our own fully functioning front 4.

What about Klassen Bolasie Rooney and Sandro?

Rubbish. Even when not at the top of his game Walcott offers more than the nervous head down dashing of Lookman. Walcott is a proper footballer and when fit, should play. He understands how we are playing, can interchange easily with our other striking players, and is good for a few goals. Lookman has potential, but needs a change of attitude and more knowledge of the game at this point.

Agreed, but it's good to have options. Lookman showed enough on Tuesday evening to keep the wingers on their toes as sooner or later he's going to get a chance and he'll be called upon to be a game changer

Will be interesting to see if Bernard has a goal threat too. If we can get good numbers across the four in terms of goals and assists then it should be a decent league season.

I can see him slotting about 5/6 a season mate

Great post Tim.
I can think if a dictionary full of words to describe these four, none of which would be 'fab'!
It's great to see what we could have had in a worst case scenario though. I like your thinking my friend.

Absolute nonsense. Walcott was making runs no one else in our team was capable of seeing or picking out when he joined us last year. He finally has players around him that will play to his strengths and I expect him to be a key player for us this season.

I’m just so glad that none of them have a surname beginning in a vowel so the fans can’t make cringey anagrams like ‘SAS’.

He’s average. Has the odd good game which papers over the cracks. We need better if we’re to progress further.

In Lookman and still the posibility of Onyekuru and Vlasic, we might have quality strength in depth too.

Scoring a winner v Real Madrid won't have done his profile any harm if we deem him surplus.
