Just leave the Z out and you’ve pretty much got it. Smodics. But pronounce it like smod-ics, not smo-dics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South stander Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 First time I have seen him play today and underwhelmed. He looked out of his depth. Is he really a better option than Matty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he wasn’t great today, and to be honest I thought Pato looked sharper but I’m willing to give him time to prove he’s worth the praise he’s been getting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were times last season when he looked really good. I am just a little disappointed with the level of players we are signing and want to see someone come into the team that will provide a real step up in quality.

When you look at the market and the amount a player who is a real step up in quality would cost. That’s going to be very difficult, unless of course we get a couple in on loan. Making Kalas and Dasilva permanent was excellent business, as was getting Bentley in who looks a class act. Szmodics is still young and seems to have a lot of potential to go far. If we can get a striker and cdm in we’ll be fine imo, and I’d imagine LJ must see the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Musicworks Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 With the players we have I don’t think he is guaranteed a start next week, it’s a big step up for him. As I said after FGR I suspect he will take time to adjust and I can see Pato edging him out initially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many times do you forget he is playing. He hardly ever scores and often gives possession away. I was hoping that Sammie signing would mean we see less if Pato.

Very inconsistent and lightweight but currently he is the best “footballer” in the side imo. We looked so much brighter when he come on today and O’Dowda with that. As much as I want Szmodics and Eliasson to compete and get minutes they are behind both Pato and COD. I’d like to see Weimann COD and Pato behind Fam when we play Leeds. We need better but that is out best right now I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightyreds89 Posted July 28, 2019 Report Share Posted July 28, 2019 Maybe your all realising that Pato is one of our best players. Sammie will be decent In time but championship a massive step up. Long term could be a good investment but maybe LJ started him today to confirm to himself that Sammie needs time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COD looked particularly bright and affective centrally. Pato upped the tempo when he come on as well. They both just have a few more ideas than the others at the moment. Been saying all summer we need Kasey Palmer and yesterday just intensified that point imo. Him and a quick striker and we’d have scored 1 or 2 before Palace and been a different game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
