Not bad. | | | |  |

Hey! You know who I also happen to think they're good players? Eden Hazard and Kevin De Bruyne. Too bad they're not our players, therefore irrelevant to our lives. Just like Turdface Ryan Woods.
Why are we moaning about him now? | |

Fantastic. Looks like based on what you've presented as fact that Risca is correct...Woods played better.
PS - Love the way you've added (which have nothing to do with stats)...
" but was also involved a lot more in the wider central midfield duties and not just sitting on the half way line waiting for it to come to him."
Irrelevant! | | | |

Hazard and De Bruyne are sh*t though. Grimes and Byers are much better. Or something.
It's never about the actual topic with the Res. It's like having arguments with the Mrs (it's normally over nothing and you can never win even when you're right). | | | |

"I randomly beat you to an opinion, which if you picked if before me I would have opposed it for the f*ck of it"
Human nature. | |

Well it's not though is it. Because Grimes made more passes, made more key passes, more crosses, more accurate long balls and generally box to boxed...
Unlike Woods who just sat THE WHOLE GAME....
Maybe you should watch the game and then check the figures, that may help? Maybe not, just trying to help you out here. | |

It's pretty reductive to compare two players based on one game - we've no idea what their managers had told them to do. For all we know, Rowett told Woods to sit deep and play simple passes. Similarly, we've no idea what Potter would have done with Woods had we signed him and how that would have impacted the rest of the side - there's no guarantee that had he signed for us he'd be playing the same way he does or Stoke, or even the same way Grimes played last night.
Let's stop worrying about players we didn't sign (for whatever reason) and enjoy the ones we've got. | | | |

I agree and that's my point, really.
I knew we'd get the usual suspects drooling over Woods when in fact one of our own youngsters played just as well, probably better. | |

Is.
Are you kidding or is it true, that you don't know much about football?
You just don't get it do you, so can't help you I'm afraid.
Good luck with your posts, keep at it...one day!! | | | |

How is watching one performance on the telly ‘the best chance ever to properly evaluate that decision’? | | | |
| Ryan Woods on 18:49 - Sep 19 with 2010 views | _ |
I meant against your own team
That's the best way to evaluate a player, when they're playing against us. You can watch a bunch of neutral games and not have the same benchmark. | |

He was tidy enough but I was very surprised when he was given MOTM - I'm sure the transfer window shenanigans played some part in that choice.
I'd still take him at Swansea but don't see him as the massive upgrade some others do. | | | |

Grimes was better, ie, more effective for his team. Take up knitting Risca. | |

Another top class input by Itchy, you saying that doesn't make it true, actually it's probably the opposite because you're not the brightest when it comes to football I'm afraid. | | | |

Thought our midfield was better to be honest | | | |

It is obvious We all see different things during games but I really only noticed Woods in the final 1o minutes or so.
Whoscored gave him 6.8 rating 8 other Stoke players higher.
They agreed with many in here who rated Joe Allen star player.
Grimes, Naughton, Roberts and Carter-Vickers rated higher than Woods. | |

On reflection I would probably agree with Joe Allen being MOTM, but for me Woods gave him the freedom to press high up the pitch. Woods is never going to score 10 a season, he just does what he does, sits in and breaks up play and his distribution from the limited amount I have seen him is second to none. He keeps the midfield ticking similar to what Leon used to do for us.
Grimes played well, but for me tried the hollywood too many times and lost out on possession, he showed quality aswell, there's no denying that, the turn on the touchline on the far side which took two Stoke players out was top class, but the pick of our midfield for me was Byers, I was surprised when he was taken off, but he was probably feeling it with it being his first game at this level since he was at Watford. | | | |

Lots of people did. Risca can’t see it cos he’s not the brightest when it comes to football. | |

Itchy knows absolutely f*ck all, mate. If you're in disagreement with any of his opinions, especially on midfielders, you're on the right lines. | |

Hahaha! Did you really mean to say that?!
