Even messi loses possession you know

Now you are comparing him to Messi. He’s a big old meathead playing for the second bottom team in the FL. For context, an older Futch was starring in the second tier.

I’m not comparing him to anyone. I was replying to a comment that he gave away possession once in the game . Anyone, even the best can do that

Not even better than Danny Collins, so to compare him to Paul Futcher is just outright disrespectful

That’s exactly what you did. You called his performance “Paul Futcher esk (sic)”

A better comparison would perhaps be Danny Collins. Someone who's playing out the twilight of his career below his natural level, but one where his physical limitations are less exposed.

I thought he looked good for 60 minutes and very composed, as you would expect for someone who's played at a much, much higher level.

Then Wilson got the bit between his teeth and took the mantle of target man, once Rose dropped even deeper. Keogh couldn't handle Wilson until the latter ran himself to exhaustion.

Futch spent half a season in the third tier with us and then the rest of his time in the second. He was more often than not the best player on a field of very, very good players. He regularly made John Aldridge look a complete idiot. Aldridge's record is simply outstanding in the top 2 tiers, in La Liga too. His international record none too shabby as well.

I love Rose and I thought Wilson was excellent in the second half. But Futch would have had both in the watch pocket of his 501's with plenty of room for every other striker in League 2 too.  

He was excrement. I'd have liked to have seen him and the knackered Thompson race the length of the pitch, we might still be there now.

This has blown my mind.
I was slightly concerned when the team news was out and Wilson who's played about 30 mins in our last 12 games, yet he had a field day when he did get the ball.

Keogh CV isn't by fluke, he's clearly had a good career, but he was poor today

Is Keogh the one who totally lost it causing the melee in the middle of the pitch? If that was the experienced one I'd hate to be relying on him as a calm head...

Looked overweight and a bit past it to me, even against our lot

Keogh looked all at odds for me..like a player at end of career. Knows what he wants to do but physically can’t do it. He was ripe for someone running at him with the ball. We didn’t test him nearly enough, it was one of those games for us. But I can see FGR conceding more than getting clean sheets put it that way.

Don’t know the extent of his injuries after that car crash but he looked weirdly ‘out of shape’ ..back seemed to be like hunchback, left shoulder didn’t look right.
