GrahamC Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 Too true, absolutely brilliant last night, well supported by a host of good performances (Baker, Flint, Bennett, Pack and the front two).Have to say though I was gobsmacked by Freeman getting MoM, he looked to be running in treacle after an hour and again got caught in possession too often. Great to see Bobby Reid get on, one sublime bit of skill should have resulted in another assist, he must be pushing for a start.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BITW Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 He's immense at what he does. Could play in the prem no question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 For me the trick he has is just taking the slightest of first touches when he gets the ball which takes him away from his marker and creates space for the pass. The number of times he did it last night was amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fordy62 Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 Pushing it.I'm not sure it is. I think he's probably the best player in his position I've seen at the gate. I definitely think he could play Prem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciderup Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 His presence is about alot more than what HE does IMHO. When Korey plays, Luke Freeman looks very good. He appears to have the licence to be more attack minded, knowing Korey will be there behind him if things break down.Korey is very, very important to what City do.

BITW Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 Pushing it.I don't think so. So composed on the ball I could see him making the transition seamlessly. I know you can't fully judge on one cup game but I recall him being the best midfielder on the pitch vs West Ham last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 I thought last night that the midfield looked as good as any game this season. With Korey & Marlon doing the holding/defensive bit Luke Freeman had a virtually free role and he was able to come back, collect the ball, and then do what he wanted with it. Apart from a couple of ten minute periods where Forest took control of midfield for a bit it seemed to work really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Cyril Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 It is a sign of a great night when it is impossible to name a player who DIDN'T have a great game.And please don't say Pack.

Lanterne Rouge Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 And as for that Stern John - might as well have not been on the pitch. Never noticed him all night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsham Alf Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 Korey was MOM by a country mile. Not sure how Luke F secured the award but he had a sound match. Pack still worries me - players seem to be on him far too quickly which suggests to me he cannot handle the pace. I thought Bennett did well on debut. He will be a shrewd capture.

Bs4Red Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 Seen him play a lot before he joined us and him along with Ayling were two players I liked. Personally think Korey is the best signing we have made in recent history (5-10 years) tireless worker and fantastic talent on the ball rarely gives it away and always wins it back. He would be someone I'd be looking to tie down for the next 5 years or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 I think he was probably seen as the lowest profile of last season`s signings with a lot of people saying `who?` when we swapped him for Liam Kelly. As it`s turned out he`s probably the best bit of business we did with the possible exception of Freeman or Wilbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slartibartfast Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Absolutely IMMENSE. You could HEAR the tackles he put in...for the older folk on here some of the challenges reminded me of the legend that is Gerry Gow.....I thought Freeman LOOKED just like GG with his hair and the spell in the first half when he did three tackles off the reel.

DT The Optimist Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Simply immense. Has the makings of becoming a Gow-like AG legend. Hats off also to Flint, Baker, Pack, Fielding and Freeman.That first 20 minutes was awesome. if we can play with that level of energy, accuracy, imagination and skill for the full 90 we would be unbeatable. Big 'if' though and, the slightly worrying side is that we slid a bit back into our shells for the last 70 minutes, eventually got nervy and increasingly gave away possession to easily and cheaply. Last 20 minutes, the 'out balls' from defence comprised mainly of hoofing it - we can't do that in this league! Spot on for us older ones who lurks here. have not heard many renditions of'Hes here, he's there, he's every Fooking where, Korey Smith, Korey Smith', It should be bellowing out around the ground, just like the 70's with Gerry Gow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it`s turned out he`s probably the best bit of business we did with the possible exception of Freeman or Wilbs.I think that award most definitely goes to Wilbraham. I seem to remember a fair bit of expectation around him, ex Norwich, current captain at a team overperforming and very good reviews from Oldham fans and LJ at the time.

clerk Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 I just thought of a good song for Korey Smith................It's based on the best football song ever written: 'Word in Motion' by New Order.At the end it goes.......'We're singing for England....ENG GER LAND!We're singing the song.We're singing for England....ENG GER LANDArrivederci it's one on one. So for Korey it goes.......We're singing for Korey........KOREY SMITHWe're singing the song.We're singing for Korey.......KOREY SMITHArrivederci it's one on one.
