[Albion] Joao Pedro Brazilian Maestro

[Nobby Cybergoat]

They did during the first game of the season, boo'd him every time he had the ball etc.... I had to look it up for the reason and only then found out about the Luton/Watford bitter rivalry.

Apparently his first goal in England was for Watford V Luton which was a 1-0 win, which endeared him even further to the boo boys.

They made some highly unpleasant references as well.

I'm not going, but we need to properly back the lad from the stands

Given the LP requirement should be mostly the hardcore following

The thing that leaps out for me with him is his work rate. It would be easy for him to focus on the attacking side of his game but if a team is breaking from a corner you know that he will be leading the chase. I have noticed this a few times but at West Ham it peaked. His attitude seems top class.

He's got 3 goals and an assist in his five games against them. If you exclude his hat-trick on Saturday skewing the stats, they're by far the team he's most prolific against in his career! Think he relishes playing in games like that.

It does but he does seem to got tired quickly when he's not on a good day.

He busted a gut in the hope Welbeck would cross, there have been games when that effort wouldn't have been so apparent.

Kind of as you'd expect from a youngest new to the EPL.

5 mins ago it was Fergie after he'd banged in a couple. Then Pervis. Then Mitoma. Signs of success I guess.

I think these rags look at us as a football M&S, top quality stuff that all another club needs to do it waltz in, wave a few sheckles and we'd doff our caps, know our place and be grateful for their patronage.

To$$ers.

Unfortunately I think that Luton fans will sing some songs that are particularly unpleasant and libellous.
A nice winning goal by Joao with him cupping his ears to them will do the trick

 

[edna krabappel]

As good as he is, you feel he could get even better and become an absolute superstar.

I agree. Much as he's had some amazing moments, I still feel he's nowhere near as good as he can be. I mean that in a positive way- he's still got plenty to learn and so much scope for improvement. His control lets him down at times and, somewhat strangely, you might think, his finishing could be a lot better.

If he's scored 18 goals having not played his absolute best yet, what's he going to be like when he really nails it? That's the exciting thing.

And we have Palace at the weekend, so we'll have to put up with the good names of our players being maliciously dragged through the dirt twice this week

Judging by the rampant homophobia I witnessed from a decent number of Luton fans at the Amex back in August, I'd imagine those won't be the only unpleasant chants we hear tomorrow.

Yes. Lots of scope to get even better, especially in hold up play.

It will be at least a couple of years before he peaks in my view

I really don't like generalising, but Luton fans are on the whole a right bunch of see you next Tuesdays in my experience

Happy to tar Chelsea fans with the same brush, too

Other than that, I'm not keen on generalising

Back on topic, it would be so sweet if he scored a few tomorrow night to wrap up the game. Here's hoping - what a season he's having!

To be honest. I’d be a c**t if I had to live in Luton.

 

[AstroSloth]

The love I have for this man...

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Special.

We cannot lost him in the Summer, not for any amount of money.

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

Superb again. Involved in absolutely everything

 

[JOLovegrove]

Our best ever signing.....? Has to be right up there....?

We can and we will because the sum in question will be considerably higher than what you perceive 'any amount' to be.

 

[albionfan37]

He’s a quality player, we definitely don’t want to lose him in the summer
