Involved in everything, seeing this is like extended highlights he was that integral. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colhint Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 (edited) Can't remember seeing anything as good as Boubs and Dougie for a long time. I bet when they go for a meal they have the same thing. Just on the same wavelength. Edited August 28, 2023 by colhint 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petrov and Barry came to mind? But I think even those two didn’t have the same degree of control and composure as Doug and Boubs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The likes of Rodri is ahead of both of them, but how many pairings in the world would you swap them for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmavfc Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 I don't think I would swop either of them for anyone else. They seem to be telepathic. Initially thought Boubs more defensively able and Dougie more attacking but yesterday Boubs showed more attacking capacity. We have a dual midfield pivot more capable than a Mortimer/Bremner combination to my mind. Does McGinn fulfil the Cowans role? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 They will come up against far more difficult opponents over the comibg season but i think it is safe to say they are an elite combination . And there is just more and more consistency with every passing month. Which is key to our future success 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinker Posted August 28, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 28, 2023 Our interplay, pass and move, in that clip, is a joy to behold. Looks like it been sped up. If I was watching another team playing like that I would be impressed, very impressed, even city don't play as well.......most of the time. We need a statement win, after the heavy loss to Newcastle the media have had its excuse to ignore us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a reason the big boys didn’t go in for him. Good player and will get better but our fans do get carried away sometimes. In the summer you had someone saying he was our most important player and the only one that couldn’t be replaced. Or something like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grantholtgolazo Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 How often does the team play poorly but you can point to a single player and say they definitively played well? With the possible exception of a goalie, the team works as a unit or groups of units; I'd say the defense and midfield setups show this dynamic most clearly. the midfield unit was largely ineffective against Liverpool. That's not to say he made no individual mistakes, but it will never be easy to play well when the larger unit is poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Kamara was good against Everton and Burnley, poor against Barcodes and Plop. Tielemans in next game please. Like Bailey who seems to disappear against better teams or away from home; horses for courses maybe until Kamara finds some form again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJBOB Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Kind of similar to others - I would caution against saying making definitive statements like Kamara can't play against the better teams. Liverpool and Newcastle went out of their way to box Kamara and Luiz in and try to force others to win the game for us. He certainly didn't have his best game but like almost all the starting XI - I'd give it a few games into the season after the breaks to see where exactly Kamara is at his development. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishVilla10 Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 It was 4 vs 2 at times for Doug and kamara, need a better set up against better teams. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
