That Shot come Cross from Arter for our second goal....Hell of a first touch from Victor, he did brilliantly for our goal.
So did Ralls. I'm going to throw a stat in here, just for the sake of debate rather than an opinion. Gunnarsson is one of the most dribbled past midfielders in the PL. Ralls' form means he is undroppable at the moment and I'm glad he's getting things sorted. Camarasa is a must. Who do you have in midfield with both of them - Gunnarsson or Arter? Gunnarsson provides a drive that Arter doesn't. Arter is a better tackler and has much better distribution.
A nice conundrum.
Was yesterday the first game this season where we had genuine options (plural) from the bench? A couple of week ago we were bringing on Rhys Healey with hope rather than expectation.Originally Posted by Eric the Half a Bee
I think the midfield has to include ralls and camarasa. It’s Arter or Gunnar..
You're forgetting Bacuna. Based on yesterday's cameo, I'd play him ahead of Gunnar or Arter
Gunnarsson on the bench. I think I'd even play Bacuna in midfield before Gunnarsson.
Just asked a similar question.
Gunnar looked in pain going off, so the decision may be made for us. Hopefully it was just a knock as we need the options
worried that he didn't celebrate the goal & went straight down the tunnel at the end of the game despite being asked by NW to go over to the fans. I wonder whether the injury came back, something upset him.
Yes, in all the euphoria at the end I noticed Camarasa headed straight for the tunnel. I hope it was nothing too serious
He's probably ****ed off because he didn't start or because he wanted to get on earlier, He's just sulking like so many footballers do. He should acknowledge the supporters, that's just acting like a spoilt brat.
Not great but up to Neil to manage that, and I'm sure he will.
Victor just oozes class. Even the short time and odd touch he had yesterday was significant.
He will definitely start against Watford.
Are you talking about a different player, or perhaps a different year, or different club?
What are you talking about? He was looking pissed off before he got onto the pitch. He didn't celebrate the goal with his team mates, just punched the air and walked away and apparently walked straight down the tunnel at the final whistle according to some-I don't really care, but it sounds like he was pissed off about something, and if i had to have a guess i'd probably say that it was because he wanted to be out on the pitch.
Massive bit of conjecture there
That’ll sound a bit harsh if it turns out he was injured in the build up to the goal !
I'll have to live with it... I'm sure that i saw him having words 5 or 10 minutes before he came on, he didn't celebrate after a brilliant touch and weighted roll to Zohore, he threw his arms in the air just before the goal, i think it was a poor cross from Arter. To me, he looked pissed off, maybe because he wanted to play-If so, that's a really good thing, we've seen it before with footballers. If i'm wrong and it was nothing (like the club will say) then so what? Some people are way to precious on here
He threw a mini-wobbly just before the ball came back into the box for him to lay it off cor Ken's goal. Probably means nothing though.
Gunnarson is a solid player with considerable experience playing at "the top". If I had to choose one box-to-box player who can break up play and arrive late in the box to pick up the odd goal, I'd go for Aaron over pretty much anyone else. His workrate is also impressive. To hail Bacuna as THE answer to one of the midfield spots is being a little bit hasty,
When did Gunnarsson last score for us? He doesn't pick up the odd goal for us.
After 20 minutes?
Just saying that he should be considered in the mix. He made more tackles in 30 minutes than Gunnar did in 60 minutes and was more constructive than Arter, who you can't fault for effort but you can for end result. We've got 5 to choose from in the middle which we didn't have in the first half of the season.
Just watched it again.I'll have to live with it... I'm sure that i saw him having words 5 or 10 minutes before he came on, he didn't celebrate after a brilliant touch and weighted roll to Zohore, he threw his arms in the air just before the goal, i think it was a poor cross from Arter.

He was kicked in the back of the leg when he held the ball up for Zohore, so I expect it was that
Not sure.

11:30mins.
He's the only city player heading back to the half way line after the goal. A few arm movments. Looks p!ssed to me rather than injured.
Poor cross was Patterson. Arthur’s was the mishit shot that fell at Victor’s feetI'll have to live with it...

Yup, that's why i said 'shot come cross' from Arter. He may well have had a knock, i don't know, what i do know is that his first touch for the goal was superb and his intelligence to roll the ball gently to Ken instead of 'passing' the ball- which probably would've meant that Ken would've had to have taken a touch and not got his shot off-was highly intelligent. A brilliant piece of quality. Let's hope he's pissed off every week.......
It is a weird one. He’s always been involved in celebrations. More worrying is him not going over to the fans after the game despite NW asking him to. If that’s true.
