BWFC_LOVE Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 1 hour ago, Sweep said: Them are some rose tinted specs that you've got there mate I’ll admit I’m a sucker for this Sweep, but I genuinely thought he had the potential to be a world beater in the right system. We were weaker with him in the team, as we got overrun with him as a centre mid when playing 4-4-2. Muamba and Holden mopped up after each other incredibly well Barring injuries however. if he had the freedom to be the linkman between midfield and attack in a good team, I certainly believe he could be as good if not better than Delle Ali. I’ve been drinking in the garden all day however, so please take everything I say with a pinch of salt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Zico Posted May 20, 2020 Moderators Share Posted May 20, 2020 one story I heard about him was when he signed, the person who looks after all the players said "is there anything we can get your Mark" "yeah, can I have a 5 bedroom house?" "ok, why?" "always wanted one" few weeks later "can you get us a smaller house? that 5 bedroom one is too big" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave2980 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Another story I read/heard was that the club doctor told him to take some painkillers/anti inflamatories and instructed him to take them with food. He put them on a couple of slices of bread and had them as a butty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absoloutley amazing on his day, technically had everything. Means fuck all if your heads potted. Spent an awful lot of time hiding and never stepped up to the plate.

Guest Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 On 20/05/2020 at 11:17, Johnnyrotten said: I know its no secret that we've had more than our fair share of terrible injuries, but reading this really brings it home that a midfield 4 of Davies, Holden, Muamba and Lee that could arguably have been mainstays in the same team for years, all got career ending or threatening injuries within months of each other. Absolute travesty, for the players themselves firstly but for the club's fortunes. Although I will say I didnt get the whole Muamba love-in regarding his playing abilities. I didnt enjoy watching him play at all and it summed up the joylessness of a Megson team, lacking so much in basic ability, he seemed to build a top flight career 90% on being athletic. there's some stats somewhere, @gonzo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e2e4 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 (edited) muamba were top. like that kante Faye , or summat. might misplace a pass every now and again, but , could just do it. ace Edited May 21, 2020 by e2e4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arrested development Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 On 20/05/2020 at 11:22, ZicoKelly said: aye, we were definitely unlucky with injuries part of the problem was replacing Holden and Lee with Reo Coker and Eagles during this time, we also had Sean Davies out with a long term injury as well Eagles gets a lot of unwarranted stick IMO. Overall was decent for us if you compare him to list of the shite from the same period. The first time left footer against stoke at home is still one of the best technical goals I've seen at the Bok/Macron/unibol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomski Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 How far we have fallen is truly grim.

Tungsten3 Posted May 25, 2020 Author Share Posted May 25, 2020 yeah eagles kept trying while the rest of the team often hid. Petrov was great but for having thhe out of his depth paul robinson made it worse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruba Mustafa Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Nah he wasn’t up to England class but was deffo a good un. Lost his fitness with injuries then lost his work ethic towards the end. if I was in his boots then I suppose I would have done the same, sat on my arse til my contract ran out. He didn’t play for anyone else after us tho did he. Wonder what he’s up to? Dont get me going on chungy, now he WAS a shithouse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deane koontz Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 He was a natural at taking players on when he felt like it. Pity he'd have one worldie followed by umpteen games where he impersonates the invisible man and the rest spent injured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion he was wank. ‘The free role’ creative Chris was given killed us and Mears defending his flank against 2 week in week out.
