Sadly, I'm still not sure the two compliment each other in a 4 man midfield, but if the rest of the team showed the same passion and drive as Noble and Parker, then I'm bloody certain we would not be in the mess that we now find ourselves in.
Amazingly, some morons are still criticising Noble, refusing to see that he has recovered the form that made him such an exciting prospect a couple of seasons back. I agree the lad lost his form for an extended period but I suspect a lot of that was down to being played out of position, and being asked to form a midfield partnership with Parker that suited neither ideally. As the junior partner, Noble had to give ground, and giving ground isn't something that comes easily to him.
The team were crap on Saturday - we should have rolled over the Blackpool King's Head without any problems whatsoever, even though they had enjoyed a week off - but Noble merits admiration for putting the team's needs over his own comfort. Could you see Dyer, Upson, Ilunga or Behrami playing with stitches in their sides? No bloody chance!
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm stani comes to mind
ReplyDeleteNo couldnt see them doing it. Still doesnt change my opinion that hes a very limited (although gutsy) player and has been pants for the last 2 seasons though.Im not letting the fact hes had a few good games(lets not forget hes actually only driven us to 1 league win this season)lead me to believe that he will be the cornerstone of our team for years to come. Hope his better form continues (and continues to improve).
ReplyDeleteim sorry but hes proved he is not limited when played in his actual position in center mid if u watch him he can pick a pass he can shoot and hes turning out to be pretty skillful to i never once under zola saw noble run at players without losing the ball or even run at players and i reckon he should be in the england squad over blood ybarry who is the most overrated player ever
ReplyDeleteOur team cannot tackle for tic tacs, but I feel that if it could, Noble would see alot more ball and do alot more with it. The one area we have looked consistent in is central midfield when we counter, and funnily enough it is the two men with most drive. I think it would be easy to field and buy a very good cheap team, aslong as you have 11 players who keep their mouths shut and can play with commitment. If we got rid of the deadwood like we were meant to we wouldn't be in this problem, instead we got rid of no deadwood, and if anything added a bit more of it.
ReplyDeleteslag! you are.....
ReplyDeleteStunning contribution!
ReplyDeleteShows how much playing for west ham means to him? Or not wanting to lose his place to the player that came in for him more like it. Teacher's pet.
ReplyDelete4 goals in 2 games without noble. He comes back and we get nothing. We've been playing with 10 men with him in the side I tell you!
...giving ground doesn't come easy to him? You mean covering ground doesn't come easy to him no?
ReplyDeleteHarewoods chance; created because noble did not track his man to the edge of our box. Go see.
Taylor Fletcher's chance from inside six yard box; because noble lost the ball in attack.
Facts.
But he does one good spin and pee-wee shot, you boys orgasm and all is well.
o2:03 that is rather pathetic of you. Watch Ronaldo play and you will notice 5 things he does wrong, doesn't mean he's not great. You criticise HF when being negative, you criticise him when praising players, why are you so unreasonoble? See what I did there?
ReplyDeleteyou going to make an article on Diamanti getting into the Italy squad.
ReplyDeletecant believe we chucked him
hahahaha - we come and go as we please - we dip in we dip out - we can have a day off - go away for the weekend and even take a four week holiday and will not be missed.
ReplyDeleteYou however come here every day, several times a day and have to moderate every comment, good or bad.
Which makes you a loser in this game, mmmmmwwwwwaaaaahhhhhaaaaaa ha ha ha!
You can hahahahahaha. Me, I come here when I get home from work by way of wind down and relaxion. I look in over the course of the evening when watching TV. I look in over the weekend when I have free moments. No biig deal for me. The thing is, it is a pleasure for me but a puniishment for you.
ReplyDeleteModeration? Takes no more than a minute. Big deal! It takes longer to have a pee.
T.I.T.S,
ReplyDeleteRonaldo does other things too. Stupid statement.
I listed facts. You couldn't dispute them, so you came out with nonsense. When Noble plays, we play with 10 men. Simple.
puniishment? tut tut
