marcofisher Posted December 5, 2023 Report Share Posted December 5, 2023 Just saw the MOTD highlights and saw that Antoine gave Villa an absolutely torrid time. 3rd goal of the season and could have easily had another if not for a strong save from Martinez. Jenas in the punditry room was full of praise for him too. Sad we could not see him at that level with us, but chuffed to see him doing what he did so well for us in the Premier League. Iraola was highly thought of by a lot of people before joining (he was also wanted by Leeds after Marsch I believe), and plays a nice brand of football, so hopefully we see Semenyo keep progressing under him. If he keeps playing like he did today I can see bigger clubs coming in for him; players with his combination of ability, pace and physicality are a rarity. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fammyfan Posted December 5, 2023 Report Share Posted December 5, 2023 Over the moon for him, it’s great to see him getting a good run and seemingly taking the opportunity. Semenyo success can only be good for our reputation. (Also buzzing to have an ex city player in my fantasy team) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely becoming more rare, and when they have those attributes it’s usually sacrificed for their on the ball abilities e.g. Haaland is a world class striker but looks a bit like a headless chicken at times with the ball at his feet.

GrahamC Posted December 5, 2023 Report Share Posted December 5, 2023 Not a striker, they score goals. Pretty sure someone on here said so. Serious point, good luck to him, seemed to be a lovely lad & made a big contribution to the Guernsey nest egg. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
