FAO Jimmy Kebe

[Ian Royal]

People just need to accept he'll be good somewhere between 1 game in 3 and 1 game in 7 and awful the rest of the time.

But lets face it, how many games would we have won this season without him? None. THat would leave us on 4 points cut adrift at the bottom.

Totally agree. Frustrating but that's the way it is.

And who exactly do we have as an alternative? HRK. Potential, but not the player to bring us out of a relegation scrap.

I'd rather we concentrated on getting that useless twat Howard out of the team so Siggurdsson who has actually contributed to goals, you know those things we're really lacking right now, can get in .

The manager took Kebe off at half time and changed to a 4-4-2 formation.

Kebe's pace playing wide on the wing is an asset in 4-4-2 system Brenda made a big mistake today.

[Terminal Boardom]

Because Brenda is a cock thinking that one up front will win us games at home. Away games are different as the home team is expected to make the running. Playing 1 up front tells the oppo that we are either:
1. Scared
2. Shit
3. Full of bullshit to think that 1 up front works for Chelsea so it must work for REading as I have worked with some world class players and I have a bumper book of football skillz and look at me today cos I am wearing a tracksuit and trying to look as if I know what I am doing

Kebe wasnt good today but he was better than Howard who basically did f*ck all. What does he add to the team?

Nothing. He's shit.

[Forty]

The most frustrating player Reading have ever had (including Rosenior). Sometimes he'll do something magical, but nearly always he stuffs it up with his final touch. And quite often his first touch (anyone notice the horrendous mis-control with 3 mins to go when Watford weakly cleared it straight to him and his only touch went about 5 yards in the direction of the East stand).

A symbol of Reading's malaise unfortunately. I feel a bit sorry for him. Not his fault that he keeps getting picked.

Mate - this is a kebe thread, not a Rougier thread... come on, get it sorted!

at a manager trying to play a world class system with world class players such as Kebe, Howard, Cummings etc.

Saturday's performance again showed Kebe at his worst, which is usually 5 games out of 6 he plays unfortunately.

[Ryn]

Kebe was average for the 45 minutes he was on the pitch on Saturday, not poor, and the team were certainly worse off once he had been taken off the pitch.

Fair comment, but doesn't this kinda sum up our predicament? Kebe is not fit to lace Glen Little's boots in terms of genuine ability, yet here we are effectively saying that we are dependent on him. Doesn't bode well.

[Ryn]

I'm afraid it's true for virtually the whole team.

We have to make the best of what we've got, and Jimmy is the best option we have on the right wing if McAnuff is playing on the left.

We were evens with Boro in the first half and we doing damage down the wings, despite being a goal down, and Rodgers' decision to switch things at half time was oxf*rd bonkers.

in my rose tinted world pele isnt fit to lace glenn littles boots though

[Ryn]

With his knees even Glen Little isn't fit enough to lace Glen Little's boots

[Who Moved The Goalposts?]

Haha - all funny! But sadly all true also!

Well, apart from the Pele bit, BW

[brendywendy]
