Man of the Match - Barnsley - Home - FAC

[Dessy]

well of course your entitled to your own opinion. but i dont think you should judge a man who is still young, still learning the game, still adapting to the EPL not to mention a new country, being asked to play out of postion on the wing when he himself admits he is a striker and sees himself playing up top in the future. he beats players one on one with his pace and power and doesnt need to cross a ball if theres no-one in the box likely to score anyway. he is defo not overrated (all footballers are overpaid) and shouldn;t even be mentioned in the same sentence as kyut....only IMO of course

Definitely not seen enough of this to suggest that hes any better than kuyt?

Also strikes me as being a very lazy player.....doesnt work hard enough or show enough committment to the cause...of course hes not alone on this score but as a young player should show more desire. Lucas for me was one of our better players today and shows the right attitude and work ethic that anyone in a red shirt should be showing....especially someone supposedly as talented as Babel.

i thought babel looked good today. was gutted and surprised rafa took him off. he shows (to me anyway) a good work ethic and energy going forward but his defensive play is sadly lacking - i'll admit he does look lazy and laboured when trying to retrieve the ball from the opposition. as for saying you've not seen enough of him to suggest that hes any better than kuyt??? ARE YOU BLIND!!!!

lucas does a good job when he plays - nothing special or extraordiary but keeps things simple and tidy.

lol......here we go again....what has he shown in a red shirt?? Bit part player who cant hug a touchline, beat a man (consistently), cross a ball. Overrated, Overpaid, Should F Off back to Holland with Kuyt. Only IMO of course.

Put Kuyt's goal on a plate, after beating his man. Looked like our only threat for large parts of the game. Kewell's ****ness when he came on was a big contrast.
