Ngoo.



If Texeiria is over his injury problems he really could be something special. A lot of quality in that U21 side. Ironically I thought we looked better without Coady and Morgan who have both had good seasons and left out because of this. Pelosi impressed me in the middle.

Still think that Pacheco has a little something about him.

I'd give him another year and some more minutes. Not completely convinced but I would like to see him get some playing time as it's been difficult to judge so far.

Ngoo.

Update his goal account man

[Fernandinho]

What's the deal with Adorjan? He has been at the club for quite a while now and people seem to mention that he has a lot of quality, but he hasn't really had a sniff of the first team at all.

That was the first thing I did, but mustn't have hit save.

I can understand why other people rate him as he’s quite a tidy player and has recently added goals to his game, but personally I’ve never seen enough to suggest he might progress to the first team, well at least here. IMO one of the problems is he is a bit of a luxury player and would be very hard to shoehorn into the first team. He plays the ‘Gerrard’ role, just off the striker in the 4231 for the reserves and that suits him, but there is no such role for the first team. I’m not sure he has the strength or athleticism to play in a deeper role and he’d be even less suitable in a wide forward position than Suso. He’s a good player at this level as I say, but he’s just never stood out enough for me to think that we could do with him in the first team.

Perhaps I’m not the best judge though, as although I like to watch as many reserve games as possible, they usually don’t get my full attention as I’m usually online or doing something else at the time. A lot of his best work is probably going unnoticed by me as he likes to keep things simple and that doesn’t get the same reaction from the crowd or commentators to grab you attention.

Plus it’s hard to pay attention to him when big Ngoo is strutting his stuff.

He should be coaching the first team.

Rush seemed to do a good job in 2003 and it’s surprising that Kenny didn’t consider bringing him back (or maybe he did). In saying that, he was on the American tour, so does he have a role at the club?

Considering our forwards are expected to defend from the front and obviously finish off chances, on paper you’d think Rush would be a great candidate to pass on his expertise.
