"A proper Brazilian"

[Ryan]

He's a footballer.

Not to put too much of a dampener on things but he couldn't have asked for a better/easier intro to things than 2 non-entity league games against Reading & Wigan though could he?

Bit interesting to see how he goes against a team that can defend from the midfield backwards.

Swansea, not Reading

 

[Fabio]

Yeah I get your vibe Ryan.

I'm happy that his confidence will be sky high now. Hopefully 1 setback (which will happen) won't destroy that.

Good to see sunshine is back. You too Sunny!
(I though I posted the above somewhere before!)

To be honest - I'll be happy if he dominates the 10-12 teams that can't defend properly ever year ! 😉

Yup. We seem to have gone from being shit at beating the poor teams but great against the best ones, to the complete opposite. If we can add that bit of quality when defending, I'm sure our style will allow us to beat the big guns while completely battering the weak ones. Players like Coutinho will definitely help in that regard.

Exactly, I dont think he will play every game, its about having options in the squad these days rather than a set XI and he gives us an option going forward the no other player in the squad can. Im sure he wont be dominating too many games against stoke but its horses for courses and I reckon managed correctly hes gonna be a hell of a player

he reminds me of Fred Savage.

The pass for the second goal was pure sex. Don't think we've had a player with the ability to do that in the final third since Litmanen.

Yossi Benayoun could play that pass between the lines very well.

Garcia as well.

Dont go being nice to me before the Spurs game. I'm still bringing my high powered rifle!
