Some of the plankton on here... fuckin' ell! 🙄

He's adjusting to a much more intensive level of football compared to the Czech league but despite our disjointed, dysfunctional team he has already shown signs of skill and promise and we're only 3 games in.

What does anyone realistically expect at this stage? He's already surpassed most of the shit signings we have made over the years in that position and he's getting pelters.

Unbelievable!

Is it national retard day on this site? I have seen posters saying we were lucky yesterday and now this clown calling Diouf " bang average ".

I'm convinced they don't watch the matches.

The cross for the goal was certainly not bang average and his defending at the back post was superb.

A 20 year old with that much talent, very unlike West Ham.

The lad is 20 years old, for context, Freddie Potts turns 22 this month.

The way he has performed so far in the league at that age, the weapon of a cross he has, it's mental to call him bang average. Fucking hell.

As for AWB, possibly the most overrated player we've had for a long time. He was fucking abysmal throughout pre season, carried that into the league games, and against Chelsea, his marking and defending at set pieces was down there with the worst I've ever seen. Brainless.

Early days, but Walker Peter's looks the much better all round footballer to me. For a start, he runs back, not slowly jogs, and he seems to be aware of who's around him when defending.

I thought he had a really good game, refreshing to have someone who can actually cross a good ball.

To me he seems competent and can deliver a nice ball. It’s a good start let’s hope it builds from here.

LOL. You're the one who dragged up a conversation from 6 weeks ago, Dreerie son.

You know, you've become as obsessed with our defenders as Sir Alf with our midfield. It's very boring. Still, at least you have an ally in Mad Ferret. That must be comforting.
Thanks for pointing out another thing I've got bang on, son.

I like him a lot, good crosses in and he has plenty of energy and a positive attitude, will definitely improve once he gets to grips with the premier league. Looks delighted to be playing for us, one of the first to offer his shirt to the travelling fans.

Was always guaranteeing those I think, but looked better defensively in a four, had a very good game and he eats the length of the pitch with that stride.

Then he went and died and suddenly he was some sort of club legend after having been here five minutes.

I doubt it. Not sure why you're bringing it up, except as a desperate embarrassing attempt to prove you were right all along.

Was at Old Trafford. That along with scoring his only goal at the Shithole against us prior to getting him typifies Sullivans tenure as our Owner in the Striker Market. 🤣

Scored one goal at our stadium. In the one game he played there for the opposition. He was dreadful for us. He wasn’t even bereft of chances given how we played back then IIRC, he was just awful.
