hobbs

[Fagan]

Hobbs is sound from what i have seen of him, It was a shame that he didn't get a game against Reading last month.

"Hobbes" was a poster on Koptalk who is on here under a different name. It was a (lame) attempt at a joke, thus I will get my coat.

was honestly a phonecall away pre-season from koptalk for 30 quid. glad i seen the light ................

no need to get your coat, i make the odd lame joke too.

If he plays tonight and does well he'll certainly give Rafa something to think about.

But Rafa is such a cautious manager I doubt he'll get the nod against Blackburn even if he turns in a MOTM performance.

[El Diego]

Rafa's basically said that Leto and Lucas are going to start.

[Parm]

See, Fierce knows what I was getting at

so where is Hobbes these days?

as for Hobbs, well dont see why the calring cup cant be used as a platform for him,

[Los Rojos]

I don't think Sami has been anywhere near as bad as people make out. He does however look tired and mistakes creep into players games when that happens. We bady need either Abeloa or Hobbs to step up and take some of the weight off him until Agger returns.

Sami's distribution is getting worse though IMO and his wayward passing normally puts us straight back under pressure.

He is on here as SealClubber, and comes on from time to time to cause trouble

his distribution has always let him down in my opinion. he usually collects the ball then gestures that he doesn't know where to pass it and hoofs it optimistically upfield.

I can see what you are saying. I thought he did well when he first came in for Agger though but the more that as he has played the more he seems to be making errors in passing and defending. I feel this is an effect of tiredness at playing too many games when he is not capable of doing so at 100%.

The problem is though, that his distribution is no worse than Carra's and therein lies a lot of our problems. Two hoofing CBs equals no proper connection between defense and attack.

[Joe King]

Sami Hyypia hoofs the ball

(in tune of 'Liverpool, hoof the ball')

Hobbes should definitely play if we ever face Kerlon.

Not bothered about whether Hobbs plays or not, we seem to have a reluctance to promote any reserves these days, they just fade away into obscurity

in your opinion have any of them been good enough???

Not many of the youngsters in the reserves make a successful career when they move on which is a good indicator. Welsh was highly rated by some but didn't pull any trees up once he moved to Hull. Potter looks to be doing ok at Wolves but was so out of his depth at Liverpool, I think he'll struggle if Wolves get promoted.
