Probably not then! I do think it shows a lot how talented he is that the fans have in large forgiven him for what happened. But it was a ridiculous stunt and symbolic of many modern footballers.
Think it's easy to say it on last nights game but that's one game and I'm assessing the player over 18 months with us. I'm not saying Knockaert doesn't or cant do that, he's clearly a better and more effective player than FF this season and probably will be now he's found that level with his...
I've just checked actually and Forestieri also has a higher average tackle rate than Knockaert his season so it proves my point.
By the way this is a really useful site if you love your stats.

Yeah in fairness he does. I think on stats hes our second highest tackler of the ball on average. Last night he wasn't really in the game for what ever reason but overall he's a great player at this level. Clearly what separates Knockhaert from FF is he performs on a much more consistent basis...
Blows hot and cold at the moment. Last week I've never seen a player put as much effort in as he did against Huddersfield. He was everywhere. Seems like one of those things that if he plays well then the team do and if not then you know what happens.
I think Hoops wasn't brought on because he's not played for 2 months with injury and this was his first appearance in the squad since then. But it always confuses me when this happens, if he isn't fit enough to play then why even out him on the bench?! Think we've missed him to be honest. True...
No I agree I wouldn't say the penalty save was luck. Just good keeping and when we lost our heads that wasn't anything to do with luck in your favour. I guess you could say it was fortunate that we did but you'd already won the game through the two goals you'd scored.
Check out my comment above R.E Mcmanaman. And Owlstalk is fair because it was our own implosion. Being honest we should've beaten you tonight in the position we found ourselves in. It's probably the most relevant definition of 'imploding' that I can recall seeing from us. Cheers for the comments...
I don't know but if you look on our forum we are all as confused. He's only been here a few weeks and has had 4 sub appearances to his name yet seems to act like he's carrying the weight of the whole team and turns into some sort of crazed maniac in the style of golem.
I agree, we HAVE been in decent play off form. But that's it. Tonight was our chance to see if we could step it up and didn't. I just hope we learn from this rather than it defining our season. But as an aside I don't think I could handle Leeds in any play off match... :ffsparr:
In the mould of Burnley last season. When it's so strong it really puts you in the top echelons of the league. We just have half that. Half a strong spine and the rest are individuals. It's rarer to have that togetherness and money cannot buy it.
Had it then threw it away. Absolutely fuming with the team and some individuals were a disgrace at the end. Fair play you guys completely deserved that win. We were our own worst enemy tonight and that's the first time I've ever seen that from us.
The game itself was fairly even with you guys...
