Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 (edited) Emre Can is awesome He's been a real pleasant surprise. I honestly didn't have much hopes outside of him being a squad player when he arrived, but he's been terrific. He looks to be the perfect reppacement (as 'perfect' as filling a World class all time legend can be) for Gerrard. Strong and fearless in the tackle. Boundless energy to get up and down the park. Great shot on him. Good passer of the football. And growing into more and more of a leader the more games he plays. His versatility is a great plus too as he gets more of a defensive appreciation currently playing back there. His only real weakness is in the air. He won't supply the goals Stevie consistently has, but he'll fill the dominant midfield role perfectly. Best box-to-box midfielder we have. Everything the mediocre Henderson isn't. Hail.

Â Good observations. I think you could be right about replacing the midfield presence. However, who the hell is gonna take FK's for you guys??

Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 ..... However, who the hell is gonna take FK's for you guys?? Mario. Penalty's and free kicks. I just need to get this through Rodgers thick head. Hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jobaga Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Good observations. I think you could be right about replacing the midfield presence. However, who the hell is gonna take FK's for you guys??I would like to see Coutinho be the guy. That would be part of his growth. He can put the ball almost anywhere he wants when he is playing right. He has the potential to be fantastic at free kicks Mario. Penalty's and free kicks. I just need to get this through Rodgers thick head. Hail. I thought BR confirmed that Balo was the #2 penalty taker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 (edited) ..... I thought BR confirmed that Balo was the #2 penalty taker? There was a lot of backtracking after last Thursday. I still find it disturbing that either Rodgers or Henderson could consider the later a better bet to begin with. And of course the line 'he's second to Gerrard if he's on the pitch' is a contradiction in terms as hes hardly ever frigging on it! *Calms. Hail.

btfoom Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 City going to be out next week and I believe Juve will join them. Â Will be interesting to see if Monaco has anything to show tomorrow - I don't believe they do and were very lucky to make it out of their group, much less win it.

Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) Arsenal should roll Monaco tomorrow.... But they are Arsenal of course  Don't worry.  Even if you beat Monaco, you'll only crash out the next round, achieve your seasonal objective of at op 4 placing, then go out at exactly the same round next year.  It's the Arsenal way.  Hail. Edited February 25, 2015 by Gibbs Hog Heaven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The real teams play on Tuesday or Wednesday in Europe. Â The real teams actually play past the second week of March. Â Â May in Berlin is great, I hear.

Â I would to to ANY CL Final if I were in the city at the time. If I couldn't get a ticket, I'd at least go to the grounds, just to soak up the atmosphere.
