I remember how proud I was seeing Bobby play for the U21s, that brief England appearance, that spell of players like Harding and Hinsh being around the U21s set up, then Solly, then Dunk running out against the Yanks.
But March playing for the senior team would top the lot. Fingers crossed. If...
Not denying the impact RDZ has made on Solly but that isn't true. Beradi started at Sassoulo and scored hatfuls of goals as a youngster, got a move to Juve that didn't work out, went back on loan to Sass and scored hatful of goals. He had a lean couple of seasons before RDZ joined but he's...
He's one of our best players. We have at least three potentially world class players (Moises, Mac, Mitoma) and Solly stands out almost every game. That's huge testament to his ability.
Probably his best game for us today (obviously because of the goal). His all round game is outstanding. Today every decision he made was spot on. I don't actually expect him to start scoring hatfuls of goals now but it's great for his confidence. If it is just a confidence thing, and if he...
Re the roasting Cucu thing. Dare say that's Solly's biggest issue- his head. He roasted Cucu because he trained with him for a year so knew he could roast him. Just needs to carry that level of confidence forward.
He will get more chances. Tross scored a hattrick and Sir Danny was quoted as saying he got better chances than he's used to. No criticism of GP, it's just clearly a less pragmatic version of a similar style. Looks like all our midfielders should now fancy half a dozen goals a season. At least...
I just have this feeling that RDZ is going to nugde Solly onto the next level. His decision making and final ball was outstanding on Saturday. Seems mad to say about a player who's now what, 28? But it wouldn't surprise me if we now see the real Solly, consistently. Wouldn't be surprised if he...
IMHO Solly is beyond criticism. Both he and Dunk and have been with us so long, during such a rapid period of improvement, that it's a miracle they're both still heavily involved (and key players).
The guy was fantastic today, in one of our most perfect attacking performances ever and at a level...
