I've still got him filed in the box labelled 'struggling to adapt to English football'.
However, his effort levels on Saturday, especially going up for headers was shocking.
I get that they play more on the floor in the Balkans but he was shown up by the brief cameos of Bennie and Lloyd. 5 foot nothing Saito puts him to shame.
I guess that this is in large part a confidence issue, but how long should we indulge him?
Desperately needs a goal. [Post edited 29 Oct 20:30]

Did 6 days in Sliema in the last international break.
Malta, fantastic place.
Sorry can’t help with the specific query. |

We are doing the simple things, the fundamentals, badly.
We are unlikely to come up against two such limited teams as Pompey and Derby many times this season. And we were were well beaten by both of them.
Neither of them needed to be much good (and they weren't) to beat us. |

He was absolutely f*cking useless. Astonished that he was picked after Derby let alone ‘lasting’ 90 minutes.
He did at least have the grace to look utterly crestfallen as he left the pitch. I almost felt sorry for him. |

Did he really get 3 games for that. I thought it was 2 for Serious Foul Play (straight red) and 3 for Violent Conduct I.e. chinning someone.
Of course they change things all the time and I am probably hopelessly out of date. |

I too had the pleasure of seeing him live. A truly magnificent player.
This was February 2012, peak-Pep Barcelona at home to Valencia in La Liga.
He seemed to have a force field around him that meant whenever and wherever he moved to he was always in space. But once the ball was lost the force would be turned off and he was up and at the opposition.
After the game in an Irish bar just of Placa Catalunya, I was discussing Iniesta with a Barnsley fan who had also been at the game and unsolicited pretty much said the same as me.
He was mesmeric but oddly, he was not the best player on the field that night; a certain L Messi scored 4 in a 5-1 victory. |

As ever Clive is spot on with this.
One thing that grabs me is - was the routine for the first goal a new one for Derby? I hope so but suspect it wasn't.
Did we not have them watched beforehand? No-one in our defence seemed to be expecting that. (It was oddly reminiscent of the thing Venables did with us circa 1982!)
Is it Xavi Calm who oversees the defensive stuff? If so he remains Mr. Calm but I am Mr. Bloody Furious. |

Unless I am going mad, I’m sure we did exactly that at some stage last season.  |

I’m not going to write him off after, what is it, 6 games.
But for balance, is he this generation’s Ned Zelic? |

I am monitoring trains out of Euston today on the Avanti app.
Fingers crossed for tomorrow but they seem to be running OK today.
I await confirmation of Clive’s safe arrival in whatever part of the North West he is staying. |

As I said on the other thread, if that goal had been given against us we’d have been f*cking livid. |

I mean now that I have seen the video, I apply my usual reasoning.
Would we have been annoyed if that had been allowed against us? I think we bloody well would.
Some of their comments are OTT but they have a point (but not 3.)  |
