He supplies inch perfect Hollywood passes to conjure up a win over the league leaders. But apart from that...

The two killer passes today, Spanish Dave is back
Bloomin' hope so. Wonder if he'll pay any of his salary back for the rest of the games where he failed to turn up.
Superb today.

I hate comments like this, most of this season he couldn't care less but one half decent performance then people criticize others

Two of the most incisive defence splitting passes you will ever see to conjure two goals out of nothing to beat the league leaders. Spanish Dave? This is exactly what he does. A class act. Great game today señor.
Barrel of Fun
Abort, retry, fail
Was it him not caring or him not hitting form?
He (and others who have been slaughtered) have clearly been doing something right to enable us to be three points off the playoffs with only one recognised striker fit and missing our pacy wingers.
Is he quick? No.
Can he shoot? No.
Is he skillful? No.
Have we seen anything to suggest he's a dead ball specialist? No.
Is he physical?
Is there an end product? No.
Deadline day panic buy, and yet another waste of space in an overcrowded group of mediocre midfield players. His best spell in La Liga? The best part of 5 years ago now for a mid table side, before he soon became a fringe player.
Friday August 31st, the day Poyet killed our season, dismantling a midfield that was looking good up until that point.
I heard he was born in Rioja
I heard he had a style
And so I came to see him
And listen for a while
And there he was this young boy
A stranger to my eyes
Strumming my pain with his free kicks
Singing my life when the ball curls
Killing me softly with his passing
Killing me softly with his passing
Telling my whole life with his crosses
Killing me softly with his passing

Its All Too Beautiful
Cast your mind back to last season when Dave emerged in our minds, it was at a similar time. A quality player those two passes just impeccable, never lost the faith in you Dave, you raised the bar so high.

Sorry, but although he had a semi decent game today, in that he made a couple of decent passes, that doesn't make up for the season of shite up to now. Should never have been in the starting line up. Very poor player!
I know. It's the best I could do for a spontaneous Spanish Dave homage.
Watching it on telly the fascinating thing is watching Dave looking up two or three times and and waiting, and waiting, for Conway to be far enough up the pitch for his inch perfect pass. Some long passes are really 'put it in roughly the right place, and he'll get there'. But this was sublime - as he was looking up, you knew what he was wanting to do.

Love posts like this:
"I don't care that he was brilliant and one of the main reasons we won the game. I'd still rather he wasn't playing, even if it meant we played worse, as it would make me right."

strong and stable with me, or...
You describe the two assists as 'a couple of decent passes'.
Regardless of where he has been, what he has done before, he was great on Saturday. As a fan, you can only be incredibly satisfied when a player who has been poor so far, turns in a very good performance. To do otherwise is to just be so blinkered in your own opinion as to be unable to acknowledge when someone has played well.
If Spanish Dave hits some form, it is going to be brilliant for our team, there is no other way of looking at it.
