Match Thread Walsall v Leicester. FA Cup r4

[glyn]

We’re playing deep and giving it away in our own half again. Do we never learn how to hold on to leads.

 

[glyn]

He’s never going to be a world beater but I’m glad KDH is back.

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

Excellent backheel from Tielemans there. Barnes should have done a lot better...

 

[popillius]

He’s never going to be a world beater but I’m glad KDH is back.

Yep. He gives us a stability. I think he's an excellent player and he could be an exceptional one.

 

[Graz]

Good to have for his energy.

That shot he just took was a bit embarrassing though!

 

[popillius]

Nah. That was excellent defending to be fair.

 

[popillius]

Iverson with ****ing jelly hands.

 

[popillius]

That's what I mean about Nacho by the way. A yard out and it's straight at the keeper. He has to score those.

 

[Miles Away]

New lad looks handy.

 

[glyn]

Nacho has had an excellent cameo. 2 shots on target and a shot off target which went in, and creating more chances for others.

 

[Brown Nose]

Kristiansen has done more in half an hour than Thomas has all season.

 

[popillius]

Yeah. That Nacho.

 

[glyn]

Yeah. That Nacho.

At least he’s getting the right areas and making stuff happen. His finishing isn’t generally the problem.

 

[popillius]

Nacho has had an excellent cameo. 2 shots on target and a shot off target which went in, and creating more chances for others.

Or, a goal from a deflection, a sitter missed and a shot into row Z.

Still a mile better than Daka.

 

[Graz]

Yeah. That Nacho.

Even then, he's getting/creating chances our other strikers don't though

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

Playing some great stuff at the end here. If only the finishing was of the same standard...

 

[popillius]

At least he’s getting the right areas and making stuff happen. His finishing isn’t generally the problem.

There's a romanticism about Nachonthat no other player seems to get.

I think it's his little face.

 

[popillius]

Kristiansen has done more in half an hour than Thomas has all season.

100%. I really like the look of him.

 

[Miles Away]

Kristiansen has done more in half an hour than Thomas has all season.

He looks a player.

Won a few headers, played forward passes, looks comfortable on his right foot, gets stuck in and has some physicality to him.

 

[glyn]

Oh and also Brendan does know he’s playing Nacho in the Vardy/Daka lone striker role and he’s actually doing it well? Because Brendan has clearly said he can’t play in this system
