Wasn't entirely convinced by Ralls' contributions last season, but this campaign his confidence is sky-high, he seems to have found an extra gear and his composure on the ball, often leaving opponents for dead has sometimes been breathtaking.
The whole team seems to be be playing a few notches higher this season - all credit to the backroom staff! Fitness and confidence is a potent brew - together with the master tactician, Warlock. Mendes-Laing has caught the eye, but for me, Ralls has been THE revelation.
Agreed.
I thought he had potential, he's starting to realise it now.
Still makes the odd mistake, but he's learning.
First time we've seen him in a "good side".
It is amazing how ones fortunes as a player turn out given different circumstances.
Take Marcus Rashford for example.
Just scored for ManUre (not sure why he was benched mind) and may well not have been given an opportunity at all had Louis van Gaal not been staring down the barrel.
Ralls may well have found himself loaned out and scrambling to make a career for himself had we not found a manager who was willing to find a way to attack the opposition.
Pleased Joe is doing well and given some credence to our much maligned youth system of recent years.
Average at best
Somebody's trying a bit too hard to get a bite. Bless.
8 posts all slagging the manager or Ralls or predicting Zahores imminent departure , got to be a jack troll, best put on ignore
Thought he was very good today. Gunnarson by comparison had a quieter game.
Rall's is benefiting from the clarity of expectation from Warnock.
When we do not have the ball he expects him to close down space quickly and press the opposition to regain possession from mistakes. He expects him to compete with tenacity for every loose ball, tackle and header. Rall's revels in this environment.
When we have the ball the expectations are more complex. He expects the midfield to play at a high tempo, he wants the ball passed to our front three quickly to allow them to exploit a back four on the back foot against real pace and power. However, he also wants to see composure on the ball and an ability to expose space when it is presented.
Rall's has been magnificent in meeting the requirements of the manager. His real challenge is to maintain consistency over a full and demanding Champioship season. His physical conditioning looks fantastic and he has great stamina, at the moment, early days I know, but he has been our most consistent and reliable player.
So many bites!
Why are you all so bitter? Surely for a diverse message board there needs to be posts with people with different opinions.
Or, can I not express my views because they differ from yours?
Same twat as Blooburd,knob ends.
You idiots really can't deal with anyone who has differing views from yours. Get a grip you whinging fückwits!
