Must not remember many games.
EMC looked good but he was playing a past it Coleman tonight.

I think what Evo is trying to say , unsuccessfully , is that Wright plays on the full backs shoulder . EMC is going to turn that shoulder inside out and upside down with his skill and power

I remember it all fine ..in terms of what id rather have running at me all game as a right back 1v1 it's haji wright .

I’d rather have Wright in front of goal though so swings and roundabouts

Well yes this really

Not many were , let's be honest

Absolutely destroyed many of them with his pace and skill.

We just won 3-0 against Premier League opposition without him, in what was a really impressive performance all round. I really hope one day this year it is going to click for some. Just making shit up at this point.

did you watch the game? there were times they played through the midfield and a better final ball / sharper pass would have seen them in on goal…

it’s not a massive criticism, but it happened

OMFG

Lonely Island; GIF game is strong right here.

We can't deal with the likes of Preston and Swansea who just bully opposition.

When we play a PL team its much more suited to our style.

I think we've started to address this with what the players are doing - a few have definitely bulked up - and who we've signed. Rudoni's over 6 ft, EMC looks massive. Have a feeling that won't be such a big issue this season.

Ok fine I have to ask do you and sparks think I don't attend games ? The better question is are you 2 watching a different player .?


This shows you that he quite literally doesn't take full backs on and destroy them

They did pass through us at times as you would expect a Premier League side to do . We aren't going to play a fast attacking brand of football without being susceptible to a counter but that will be the compromise we have to make if we are to be successful

Anybody know if there was a programme for tonight ?

Top 30% for progressive carries so he must be beating someone...

Bottom 30% for take ons ffs you can read.

Moving forward with the ball isn't taking a player on . Haji wright doesn't destroy full backs , he's best running onto the ball and in and around the box recieving the ball

Right but the initial point wasn't about take ons it was about giving a RB a tough time. You seem to ignore other elements to Wrights game that gave him advantage over full backs such as off the ball movement.

The stats clearly show haji wright is better getting onto the ball in and around the box .. what else is there to argue about ?

He's not at his strongest when players are infront of him to take on , the stats show this

The stats show he doesn't destroy anybody , he scores goals

Watch that and tell me he can't take on a man. i'm not arguing about anything its you whos brought my name up again

[fernandopartridge]

I can't remember many right backs that haji wright terrorised ? he scored goals sure .. EMC is the sort of player that will have right backs subbed off because they've had enough .. a natural winger with pace power and skill .

It's two different types of threat really, EMC twisting and turning but Wright more direct, likely to shift the ball quickly and get a shot away. Great to have those subtly different options imo.

Wright caused chaos last year when he was directly running at players I can't believe people forget that

Deary me , are you OK lad ? You're going to show me a video where he's taking on a couple players , but I've shown you hard facts he's not that strong in that area , his game is best played as I've already stated.. you are now just arguing for the sake of it .

Are you OK? I don't understand why you are trying to be argumentative again. ffs im just gonna leave it

Not stated any different , haji wright doesn't destroy full backs on the regular as a couple of posters here are trying to state

You've got no choice to leave it because I've shown you the numbers

I have nothing to say about a friendly I didn't watch, but the thread police have ordered me to comment here.

Do you think he is the same as EMC ?.

Of course hes not the same as him, but to say that he didn't really threaten RB's last year is disingenous.

Everton were v poor. Yes they are behind us in preparation for the new season but for a premier league outfit they were terrible both on and off the ball. I should think their fans are v concerned for the upcoming season.
For us it was an encouraging 90mins. The new keeper looked an improvement with ball at feet (but was not tested at all in terms of saves). EMC and Rudoni produced good work…the latter at times trying a little too hard…but both looked exciting and will produce chances and goals. Allen was unbelievable in terms of energy. Eccles composed first half but faded. The defence, apart from a few moments out of position, looked solid and composed. Great to see Tats back and working both when he was in possession and when he lost it. And Simms’ hold up play was exceptional. All in all a very promising performance.
