Feidhlim Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 actually thinking about it. wasn't Okore in the FC Nordsjælland side that Chelsea battered 4-0 last season ? 10-1 on aggregate over two legs i believe. OUCH! Yeah but I'm assuming you've seen the video of that game where Okore looked savage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage at what though ?. 4-0 sounds like a tattering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ArteSuave Posted August 19, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted August 19, 2013 How is the concept that a player can play well when his team loses so difficult to grasp? I've read posts using the logic "team lost -> all players were bad" time and time again on here. This ain't tennis, there's XI of them out there and sometimes they lose in spite of excellent individual performances. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing odd about it unfortunately. It seems to be the norm. In that instance I'd naturally think that the team were outclassed. Thinking every single player was bad without having even seen the game is ridiculous and makes a mockery of having opinions on individual player performances at all. Why not just rate the team's performance based solely on the result and apply that rating to every player who played in that game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villianusa Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 When is Baker due back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Soon hopefully id rather him at CB than Clark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limvillian Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Baker starting is an almost guaranteed waste of a substitution. He is made if glass. Decent player when he manages to stay in the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I'd play Baker for more physical games as he is better aerially and stronger then Clark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyAnty Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I see on twitter he annoced he was starting tomorrow. Then 1hr or so later he said he was stupid and someone needed to take the phone off him. Wonder if Lambert wont start him now as he was stupid and told the world on twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Hope he starts, he's fine against the Norwich's of this world...well for the first 15 minutes until he hobbles off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Norwich's gameplan will basically be getting it to their wingers who in turn will be getting balls into our box. Need Baker just for his aerial presence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Silly post, Baker seems to pick up something every 3-4 games, Okore has picked up a serious injury from a collision, that's just plain unlucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
