Great result last night, very impressed, especially Coleman and Walcott, not seen our team with so much passion, as for Mangalla, don't know much of him, find out against the Arse hopefully, who, are leaking goals, 2 up front hopefully, and good luck to Lookman COYB.

Same as that mate those two were excellent, thank goodness Seamus is back and playing well.

Just shows you what some speed in the team does for you. Coleman and Walcott have pace to burn and everything of value went up our right hand side. Just don't understand why Lookman was not given a chance on the left.

Can't help thinking that Lookman's main problem might just come down to immaturity. He does seem an emotional, sensitive sort, with his reported homesickness and his gravitation towards Rom as a big brother figure. he's fairly close in age to Tom Davies and he seems much more level headed if we were to compare. Now that Rom has gone, and with his lack of game time, maybe the poor kid is just a bit lonely and insecure, which might be very clear in training, which would put him at odds with big Sam, hence his recent public description of his stubbornness. I feel sorry for the lad for his lack of opportunity with us, but I've come round to thinking that he's just not ready yet. He should have a good experience at Leipzig and may come back a bit more emotionally intelligent, professional and mentally prepared to rip up defenses and cover defensive duties for us. Until then, enjoy the bratwurst, Ademola!

and if things don't go that well, he might come back with a better attitude, ie one where he starts to listern to those with more experience. Just a bit to easy to put the blame at sams door if the kid is listening to his agent rather than people with his best interest at heart.

I thought Allardyce's public criticism of Lookman was disgraceful. Those criticising Lookman's attitude here do so without evidence. The only thing that we, the fans, have to go on is his honest effort and encouraging contributions from the bench. To criticise his attitude on the basis of that is poor to say the least.

I wouldn't class as public criticism he merely said he thought the better option was a loan at Derby but the lad dug in and insisted on Leipzig, it is often said that players should get European experience but this lad needs game time in the English league to improve his game, and even though Leipzig are a top Bundeslige club the reality is championship football will possibly get him more accustomed to the Premier!

To call some stubborn is not criticising them?
02 Feb 2018 13:19:52
No I wouldn't, he perhaps could have said the lad was headstrong but its not really a criticism.

Stubborn was the word reported. When was the last time you were called stubborn and felt complimented?
02 Feb 2018 13:48:45
Actually I have!
'Stubborn'
having or showing dogged determination not to change one's attitude or position on something, especially in spite of good reasons to do so.
