Keith Scott 246 Posted August 14, 2021 1. Max Aarons is massively overrated. Technically so poor. Giannoulis is twice the player. If anybody offers a few mil for him we should bite their hand off. 2. Lukas Rupp works hard but again technically isn't up to it at Premier League level. 3. Our crowd are far too placid. It's been said many times before but with the exception of the barclay the rest of the ground just sit on their hands for 90 mins. Half a dozen times a Norwich player was fouled, including the Pukki foul which led to their opening goal. The ref gives nothing and our supporters don't even jump and appeal. It's a big reason we don't get many decisions. Stop being so passive, find your voice and show some passion you NFN's! 4. Last but not least it has to be said today's performance was a carbon copy of nearly every performance from our last campaign. Pretty football at times but ultimately lightweight, too easy to play against, always look like conceding, and very little attacking threat. Unless we do some serious business between now and the end of the window it's gonna be ANOTHER relegation on the cards. Lessons still not learnt it seems. All the best. Keith Scott.

Playing the actual post: 1) His main attributes are his athleticism, so fair enough - rating someone is subjective anyway so it will vary from person to person / club to club. 2) Rupp could look decent in a better side as a 'water carrier', but if tasked with being a creator in a struggling side, I'd tend to agree with you. 3) Dunno, wasn't there. TV broadcasts are not always the most representative of the sound in the ground. 4) There were similarities. But definitely more depth and physically-dynamic players on the bench. Result was ****e, but squad is shaping up better than last season IMO. We just need some of that effing luck that seems to have totally deserted our premier campaigns of late.

Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,865 Posted August 14, 2021 Genuine question: Why do people still respond to Keith Scott and Big Vince as if they're making a serious post? Surely by now we know they just do it for a laugh and to wind people up? 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,706 Posted August 14, 2021 (edited) Mostly garbage, but I do agree partly with 1. - Max is a touch overrated by our supporters, in terms of his defending. I think if he were as good as we think he’d have been gone by now. We played some decent stuff at times today but mostly in our half/the middle third and not really enough to threaten their goal a great deal. There’s just about enough positives to be upbeat, we were playing one of the best sides in Europe after all, but we do need to shore ourselves up at the back/be harder to score against. .

It’s been widely confirmed that they did make a loan offer for him, even Webber has come out to confirm this. I do agree however that he would be better as a RWB with 3 CB’s behind him. He seems made for that role. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It could be worth looking at for the games against the top clubs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
