Actually, he's garbage, though [on this board] it's just you and me who think that. Funny enough, everyone at the game tonight around me, also think he's completely useless.
this could've just been posted in the match day thread..Quote:

As an aside, KM scores a hat trick last night.
he did well for the goal that was disallowed, really good centre forward play.
And we haven't had one for many many years.Quote:

As far as I can make out it was good centre forward play to get ahead of the defender and an accurate shot after. I'm not sure what 'KM' or any other forward could've done better.
The biggest problem with Salech at the moment is he seemingly wants to engage in a physical battle with the opposition at every opportunity and he commits a lot of fouls while doing so - he's frequently wrestling with opponents and pulling their shirts. He's also grizzling to referees on a regular basis, often from very early on in games.
I like his aggression and commitment, but he does seem to take things too far on occasions. He's not particularly subtle and isn't doing himself any favours.
Just reading Paul's blog. In it he said:
"City, especially Yousef Salech, will feel that referee Jacob Miles’ decision to disallow his first half goal changed the game. Certainly, it was the sort of decision Salech just doesn’t get given in his favour in this division and I thought it was a poor call by the ref to rule that our centre forward had committed a foul.
"However, I’m not too sympathetic towards our striker this time because he’d already had two headed chances that he could have done better with and there were a couple more opportunities he got wrong in a second half where, at times, it looked like he was more concerned with carrying on a running battle with Burton defenders or arguing the toss with the officials."
Paul's nailed it there I reckon, and last night wasn't an isolated situation by any means.

Oh come on. Forget 9 times out of 10, thats not given 99 times out of 100. Terrible decision.Quote:

Not sure I agree that Salech is looking for the physical battle with the defenders this season, it seems it's the other way round, and they are looking to grab/ assault him from the get-go. If we put in more crosses to him, surely the law of averages would mean more of his attempts would go unpunished for perceived fouls and he'd score more?
90 out of a 100Quote:

I don't think it's a foul but another slightly naive moment to give the ref the chance to blow.
Granted..but he's not the one that will make us champions, however old he is.Quote:

poor debut and I felt he was out of his depth = Rubbish/Shite yes as I said - Making him a scapegoat, since I pulled you on it, you're back tracking, at this rate he'll be your favorite player in a week :hehe:Quote:

He was lucky not to throw 2 points away against Peterborough only Turner bailed him out.
Hes only 18 so there’s going to be ups and downs but people are going a bit overboard imo. I think he needs to concentrate on establishing himself with City before people start making out he’s the next Trent.
Pop along to the loonys forum and try and get a bite off Sludge because these efforts are utterly embarrasing.
If you honestly think I would backtrack and reconsider my position because of anything you said then you need to leave Sludges meds alone.Quote:

Thats shocking a good young player making his welsh debut and you're on his back, show me where he or anyone has said he was the next Trent?
I think you would have followed it up with much more, if you weren't pulled up on it early, you've ralised the error of your ways thankfully.
So? It's irrelevant what nationality he is and his age, if they're in the starting team in a mens professional football team they have been recognised as good enough to play, that also means they are fair game to be criticised.Quote:

He clearly is as he has been called up again, do you think you know more than Bellamy and BBM who regurlary picks him? :hehe:
Well if the Canada game is anything to go by, JR is correct.Quote:

On his back :hehe:Quote:
