Zamoramania

[Hampster Gull]

COG held the ball but did nothing with it he didnt lay it off effectively.

We must have been watching a different player

Bobby was quality when he came on. Everyone round me was commenting how intelligent he was with the ball. My 4 year old & his mate immediately wanted Zamora 25 on the back of their shirts

obviously, the one nobody in our division wanted to buy.

Hopefully that's it. After a first class team performance today, the brief cameos at Portman Road and today will calm everyone down to some level of reality.

Woefully off the pace again, but the team was, as I say, superb.

The exact opposite to what I thought
He held the ball up well
Played others in
And was exactly what we needed to relieve the pressure we were under

 

[Justice]

I thought Zamora was excellent when he came on, clever, available and played the right pass every time, just what was needed at the time

Exactly I guess the OP didnt see how much space BZ made for himself on two or three occasions PL quality.

Bizarre thread until Zamora came on we were completely unable to retain the ball in the Hull half and were piling pressure on ourselves. He came on lifted the crowd and held the ball up and played some very intelligent passes. Job done in my view

Next time you get the urge to post a thread like this. Just think back 12 months. Then think again. Then think some more. And if you still have the urge to post the thread. Ask yourself - when will I ever be happy?

Some people have short memories. We should be enjoying this golden period of football. Moments like this are few and far between supporting the Albion.

Exactly what I thought, he looked so comfortable on the ball... Just what we needed!

Was the OP at the game? We couldn't get the ball off Hull for long periods nearing the end, Bobby came on, took the sting out of the game by holding up the ball expertly and the dummy at the end for Kayal would have resulted in a goal 9/10 times, great defending.

Grim comment.

 

[SittingbourneSeagull]

I can assure you that I have no 'look at me' desires. I honestly feel what I said. If you don't agree then so be it. Hope he proves me wrong.

He proved you wrong today. Doesn't have his original pace obviously but woefully off the pace! Links the play well. Think he will score perhaps 5-10 goals but it's more about what he brings to the players around him.

Agree.

All the way from Faversham ;-)

 

[Trelford Mills Guide Dog]

Bobby did well today [not exceptional, but good, intelligent play].

Shame about the Alan Navarro song

I'm not sure the OP actually understands football.

So,
Where do I start.
Bobby looked pretty awesome when he came on.
We were brilliant in the first 55 minutes, then CH lost his bottle and we defended against a team we had battered all afternoon.
Odd?
Zamora gave us a very useful forward option that closed out the game.
Bored now.

 

[Solid at the back]

OP obviously doesn't know too much about football and is probably expecting 20 goals this season from him, anyone who knows anything about football knows Zamora would do well to score 8 this season. He done what was asked of him, held ball up superbly, created space and picked the right pass - that is what he's here for, he isn't gonna score 15 goals this season, anyone who knows anything about football knows that

 

[SweatyMexican]

I thought he played really well, and you could see the premier league class in him. He held the ball up at times, linked into his team mates really well, and wasted more time on the clock. Let's hope for more!

Ohhhh Bobby Zamora.......

I wasnt saying he was great, i was responding to an earlier point about holding the ball and laying off.

BTW his was MoM for BF who won away at QPR today

 

[TomandJerry]

Thought he did well today

 

[The Fifth Column]

Anybody daring to have the temerity to compare Sir Bobby Zamora to that carthorse COG shall be burnt at the stake and rot in hell for all eternity, damnation on their souls and their offspring should be imprisoned in the Selhurst park away toilets. How very dare they!!
