    Didn't Paredes do the very same thing (or something very similar) against Bolton on the first day of the season?
     
  4. Yep, think Motta has shown he's got a little more defensively than Paredes

    yes he has and he can also play football, no headless chicken.
    Paredes is a player that either plays great or really ****e, more times really ****e IMO

    Paredes has gone downhill this season and feel he has LOST HIS WAY. The most frustrating thing is there is a good player waiting to come out. In the meantime we have Marco's second coming in a younger form through Motta and he has brought that much needed defensive balance to our play

    Seems like Cassetti didn't teach him all his tricks on crossing. Scratch that, the basics of crossing.

    Taught him pretty mch everything else though except on how to give away penalties.

    Wait, so we have no full backs or wing backs who can cross? :doh:

    Well it is Easter and we all know what happens when you connect with a cross...

    With regard to his crossing, his technique is really good, and his string of poor crosses were late on; his legs had gone a bit imo, think we'll see his quality in that department the coming games.

    Think his all round play is excellent and is much more aware than Parades defensively and offensively. Will put his crossing down to an off day.

    Yes I was. Totally confused and thoroughly deserved SM16 dislike

    He posted a picture on instagram this evening and the last part of the caption was "see you next season"
    Looks like he will be signing a new deal

    Good news! Not everyone will agree I'm sure but I like Motta a lot. I think we'll see the best of him in the Prem

    Yeah I like him, think it will be good to have him in the squad.

    His reading of the game defensively will be invaluable in the Prem I think

    What does this mean for Juanfran? I can't keep up with all this right wingback stuff? Parades to Granada?

    Needs to practice his crossing to be honest. The amount of crosses he has attempted which have either hit the first man or gone off for a goal kick is rather frustrating.

    Agree with his reading of the game and defensive abilities which proved to be important for us. Hopefully he gets some training to improve his end product because undoubtedly there's a good player there.

    Seeing as we re being linked with Richards and the Croatian RB Id imagine Motta, Parades etc are squad back up, but yes Mottas delivery was truly woeful against Wednesday

    Still love the flick over the Reading defender and half-volley onto the crossbar from 25-30 yrds.

    Yep bread & butter wing back skills.. who needs a good crosser of the ball!

    Never said was flawless nor that he was great at crossing: those are valid points which he/coaching staff need to address but still. Thinking about it every WB we've had barring Cassetti struggle to cross a ball. Pudil less so? Maybe? Don't know?

    Of/c being understudy to Cassetti he seemingly learnt also how to concede a penalty, see Derby away.

    Actually really agree with you about service into the box.
    Anya seems to get into good positions but struggles with delivery and the others struggle with getting into those positions so their crossing seems to be that much harder.

    When you compare the Championship quality with Premier League quality, I think we fall some way behind. For me this season the best delivery has consistently come from Abdi or Gueds.
    Wing back delivery has been lacking.

    I stopped liking him the moment I saw the grin on his face when he got sent off at Derby. It wasn't funny mate, even if you think it is.

    I actually thought he was decent.

    Wouldn't be surprised to see him play for Udinese next year

    His grin? You do understand how adrenaline works and how different people react under pressure, right? I can't imagine he thought it was funny in the slightest.
     
  28. Nnnn

    Me too but I suspect the club think we can do better.

    Also agree with this...

    Seems like a solid enough player but was signed on a short contract for a reason.

    He was laughing because he was embarrassed. It was a stupid challenge, he gave away a penalty and was sent off for Watford in a crucial game. I wasn't impressed with his reaction and neither were the people around me.
     
  31. Hornet23

    Hornet23 First Team

    He was probably laughing because he didn't agree with the ref's decision. We're promoted, he did a decent job for us, it's a bit petty to hold a grudge against him because he laughed.
     
  32. UEA_Hornet

    UEA_Hornet First Team Captain

    I wasn't impressed with the tackle. Isn't that a tad more important?
     
  33. Nnnn

    Nnnn First Team

    yep, and he was possibly right, but if you make a last-ditch "professional foul" there's always the chance of the ref pulling out a red even if there's other defenders about. We did well to salvage a point.
     
  34. RunkleHorn

    RunkleHorn Academy Graduate

    Cassetti did it as well, laughing at the ref is just what they do in Italy. It doesn't mean he wasn't gutted to be sent off.

    He may not be impressed with yours. Size isn't everything.
