Slaven Bilic has praised the amazing effort and performance levels of Pedro Obiang after another top dsplay at the weekend.
The midfielder made four tackles, four clearances, an interception and 47 passes, including the fabulous ball which led to Aaron Cresswell pass inside for Manuel Lanzini’s match-winning goal.
And Slav said: “Pedro waited for chances. I spoke to him in the pre-season and he played 30-odd games for us last season, not always as a starter, and is a great example for everyone.
“Last time out against Middlesbrough he got the chance and used it really well. If he continues to play like this, the place is his.
“We are going to have the opportunity to have another good season only if we perform like this without the ball,” Bilic added.
“We have the quality, of course, but this is the cruellest league in the world if you are ten per cent below par in any aspect of the game. Sometimes you get luck and sometimes you win the game 3-0.”
Sorry GW i would love to reply to you on that but it will probably get deleted lool
Noticed there’s been a few of them Rick maybe Fishy got the job of chief auditor and is gaining his revenge after all that so called bullying 🙂
Now comments are going all over the place.Were doomed i tell ya,doomed lol
Soon formations & team picks for games in two weeks time will star appearing lool
Haha… that’s funny Rick… read my message, it will self destruct in 5 minutes…loool 😀
We need to find code Matte.Numbers for the alphabet.
First one
6..9..8..1
Lool
You may be wrong with the 8 Rick I think it should have been a 7 😉
Am I allowed to say he should play week in week out or do I have to say Nobes should play every week? 🙂
Or Monkeys Bell lool 😀
EssexClarets – now I know JimmyJizz called me Dumbo earlier, and at risk of living up to my new nick name, but isn’t Obiang Spanish? Purchased from Sampdoria but not sure that qualifies? However I know someone who is Italian (cos he taught me some naughty words) who will no doubt clarify for us all!
You spotted my deliberate mistake 🙂 lol
What is ever going on here.This is stupid.
I said ‘Yes Dumbo,he is Spanish’ in reply to jimbo calling himself Dumbo earlier & it got removed..This is getting ridiculous!?!?!?
Can we not even joke with each other now without it getting removed!!!!????
The curse of the super snappy family appy Alfie your always being watched, the days of the rabid dogs are long gone.
Alfie – Sorry your comment was removed mate, would have made me chuckle anyway. Time to use Matte code!
With the team playing like they were no ones shirt was safe, Obiang has been given a chance & has taken it. He is way too good to sit around coming on for the odd half hour or twenty minutes. We have 3 top Italian internationals in our squad, get everybody on thier game & we have a very good team.
He has to be in the team. I personally feel noble should make way for him. My team sunday would be:
Adrian
Arbeloa Ogbonna Reid Creswell
Kouyate Obiang
Antonio Lanzini Payet
Zaza
Cresswells suspended,Arbeloa still out injured it seems..So thats both your fbs out of that team 😉
Correct Alfie.
Without meaning to sound too negative, I’ve a nasty feeling the Antonio at RB experiment may be resurrected (although I’m not sure if Byram is fit again).
He deserves a good run in the team.He does the simple stuff without dramas & is really effective for us in this numbskulls opinion lool
He does Rick, and it;s good that Slav says if he keeps up the performance levels the place is his, should force the others to up their games.
