Ian Royal But, he (Kebe) can put in an excellent cross and does so on plenty of occasions. He's also got phenominal close control once he's actually brought the ball under control successfully to start with. I think he's showing a greater awareness of when to run at players and when to hold up and pass it off too.


Fair play - you've got a better memory than me! When did we last see him - the last few minutes at QPR? The Fulham game? I've forgotten what he looks like.

And, yes I know - he plays when he likes.

And he clearly doesn't like playing for a struggling team!

He's always injured, almost as much as Hunt.

Combine that with his general inconsistency and I think it's a massive risk relying on him to play let alone be an important first teamer.

does usually get an inuury a season, and takes time to get back after it.
but i think when hes back to full fitness hes been consistent for a few years now.
agreed its a bit mental to rely on him as your only real game changer going into a season

That's why we've got McCleary, HRK and McAnuff.

John Madejski's Wallet ^^ With Brendy here.

Kebe is miles better than HRK & McCleary at tracking back and helping out right right back.

Part of Cummings strength is the partnership he had with Kebe. Without Kebe he's getting no help in covering 2 or more attackers. Still way better than Gunter though imo

Pretty sure, that big fan of Kebe that he is, he was actually joking here
Since when did Kebe make a tackle?!

In plenty of games. Maybe you should pay more attention.
Royal91 kebe might be the best at tracking back out of the wingers, but he's also the worst at passing a ball, controlling a ball and most importantly crossing a ball. A wingers main job is to attack. KEBE SHOULD NOT BE ANYWHERE NEAR THE FIRST 11.

You are just barking mad. And I'd guess are either U16 or have only been watching since last year, and some how missed any game where Kebe played well.


been to plenty of games - thanks for asking

never seen a tackle

I will look out for them :roll:

not joking in any way

pretty clear if youd been to any matches this year(or last tbf) that its a side of his game that hes really worked on
in fact id say its been slightly to the detriment of his attacking play

this season in the few games hes played he has put in numerous last ditch tackles, interceptions and clearances, in our own third.
saved us a couple of goals at least imo



Gave you more credit than you are due then

Go to nearly all games never seen a tackle


Will keep looking

Might want go to specsavers just to be sure you catch them if you've managed to miss them despite going to plenty of games over the years.

Neither
When i look i see a very good though inconsistent player who runs fast gets some good crosses in runs back gets in the way but never tackles
Now when i say never I merely mean hardly ever

Except everyone else sees him completely differently. He's been excellent defensively over the last 18 months or so at least. Always starts his counter-attacks from deep in our own half and there is a reason for that.

My eyesight isn't too good actually maybe I will go
But maybe you could accept that I don't think he is a good tackler and that he doesn't don't very much tackling, without resorting to unfounded criticisms of my attendance record, my attention span or my eyesight!

It wasn't a criticism of your attendence record, it was one of two explanations I could think of. Well three actually, because so many people who go seem to only see what they want to or expect to.

I can accept you don't think he's a good tackler, but you should accept that I will point out your wrong and that he does tackle and defend regularly. What I definitely won't accept is spouting nonsense about him never tackling. If you don't mean that, don't say it.

I can accept that you will point out you disagree
I am suggesting you try doing so without casting aspersions
