So Papa aint the god we thought he was?

beat his player couple of times, made defender panic into giving away free kick in dangerous position when breaking at speed, two shots on target - one resulting in corner (possibly two) not bad for 20 mins!

 

Not sure how well he will do but bit more positive than some drama queen who has never seen him play!

He took it around the keeper about 5 seconds after the ref had blown for offside.

There is a danger the fans are bigging him up too much. Looked raw to me and needs to understand the offside law.

 

Duncan you are better than that he is a professional footballer ....... i'm 100% confident he knows the offside law

 

And Alpine is right .....crap thread

He is fecking quick and therein lies the problem, once he has a couple of games under his belt he will time himself better and spring defences left right and centre, unfortunately judging by the quality of officiating I've seen so far this season about 90% of his runs will be given offside incorrectly.

The best view of Waigo was from the Chapel end of the Kingsland. He definitely presented a threat with his speed and showed some clever touches. Saints were more on top after he came on. Taking a near post shot, when he might have been expected to cross, was a good move, and resulted in the keeper having to concede a corner. IMHO he looked more likely to score than any other player.

You are correct sir

Thought he was good TBH. Seems a bit of a character, chased defenders and got straight up when flattened.

 

But he is the good bit. Unlike our other players he ran in behind, ran straight at defenders committing them with his pace and was running towards the goal.

 

Very encouraging, he seemed to have a good first touch too.

 

Also a couple of the offsides were very tight and think one the players get used to his runs and release the ball earlier he will be very dangerous.

Rickie Lambert was interviewed on Solent after the game and whilst he praised Waigo, he did mention the tendency to go offside and said its hard to give him advice as he doesn't understand English, and even if he did, he probably wouldn't understand Scouse (which is Rickie's native tongue).

Thought for his brief appearance today he is showing good promise. Made a few darting runs, his acceleration beat the line numerous times and it'll just be a case of getting one of five right and he's in.

 

Didn't he also tower above the defence for a header on target ? A good run into the box a few mins later (onside) and a tight angle but managed to force the keeper make a save on the ground and out for a corner.

 

All in all, thought he had a great game and can't wait to see more of his skills.

hardly fair to judge him on 20 minutes. His pace seemed to cause problems in the Yeovil defence and had a couple of efforts on goal. Wait until he starts, then we'll see.

 

And to start a thread criticising him on it when you weren't even at the game.....:smt067:smt067:smt067:smt067:smt067

I'm just very worried the fans seem to regard him as the second coming.

 

He looked very very raw and a player who gets caught offside 5 or 6 times in 15 minutes is not really "thinking" about the game.

 

I wish him well - we need his pace and unpredictability but let's not build him up too much, just yet. Not speaking the language etc will mean he has a lot on his plate at present and expectations should be kept to sensible proportions. It is good AP is introducing him slowly.

 

We have signed too many wonderkids over the last few years who I got really excited about - Delgado and Ekelund - to name but two and to enthuse too much after nothing more than a cameo performance can be counter productive. Hence my negativity.

Your so negative FFS. It is people like you, Alpine and TDD that are ruining this club, we nearly didn't have a club to support don't you know, and dont get me started on the -10......;)

No one thinks that.
