ollywhyte Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Amongst all the doom and gloom, just wanted to say how lucky we are to have him. Clearly a natural born leader, doesn't shy away from any tackle, confident on the ball, protects it well and seems to ahead of the rest in terms of how his brain works. Unbelievable reading of the game and literally does not stop running, even with less than a minute to go there he is picking up the ball to run it to Newcaslte to hasten a corner. Fantastic player with a fantastic attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bar BS3 Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 O'neil was superb. A class above the rest of our team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 All that nonsense in the summer from a certain someone questioning how much we are paying him was made to look utterly ridiculous by yesterday's performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Portland Bill Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 He was fantastic yesterday, I've said on another thread that it was the best midfield performance.by a City player that I've seen in the last 20 years, and I'm deadly serious.

Agard Days Night Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 The guy sat next to me yesterday said towards the end of the match 'without doubt the worst two players on the pitch are Freeman and O'Neil. WITHOUT DOUBT. By a mile'. Seconds later O'Neil got man of the match. He seemed very certain that O'Neil was awful. Now with all you guys praising him I just don't know what to believe.

Can't disagree, engine room of the team and made it look easy which is a sign of a class player. Had to calm Tomlin down again after he got booked. hope he is able to play all season as he will be pivotal to where we end up in the table Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welshback Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 He was class yesterday. I do wonder whether O'Neil and Korey are too similar in terms of position and style, but we're lucky to have them both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're committed to playing very attacking wide players with Tomlin in the hole like the Kodjia - Tammy - Tomlin - Freeman combination then I think having players as combative and comfortable on the ball as O'Neill and Smith will give them the freedom they need.

I do wonder whether O'Neil and Korey are too similar in terms of position and style, but we're lucky to have them both. I`m not sure but it seems to me that GON seems to do his best stuff to the left and centre of midfield whereas Korey is a bit more right sided so they could complement each other well. The other thing is that neither of them are frightened of getting forward when they can so it will be nice to have confidence that whichever one doesn`t will still be back there if the opposition should break. Incidentally, was Korey at Norwich at the same time as GON? That could be a bonus if they`ve played together before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoldenBall Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Some bloke behind me was questioning his desire.. I thought he was excellent all game, not to mention a few crunching tackles on Colback which the crowd loved. Him and Korey should be our staple midfield all season.

BristolCityMWS Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Korey can offer a lot more going forward as well as his defensive duties. Will be a good pair to base our midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disregard the other one's opinion and follow your own. Gary O'Neil was superb, made a couple of mistakes, but for me was top class. The less I say about LF the better as this is Gary O'Neil's thread.

Kermit the Frog Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 I don't think I have ever seen a player run around as much and as effectively as GON did yesterday.

You can buy experience, mate - we paid Leeds Utd £40,000 for Norman Hunter in 1976. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
