Jimmy Kebe is a good player, sign in

like the negatives will ever take more than one game to slag a player off

I don't think I've ever 'slagged a player off'.

If I don't think he played well, I'll say so.

If I don't think he's good enough to play a position for a season, I'll say so.

But you read whatever it is you want to read into my comments. I won't stop you.

1. if id have meant you id have said"you" and not "the negatives"

2. but youre having a go at people for doing the same in reverse! theyre just saying he played well in the game-and that does debunk those who said he would never be a footballer at any level, whether you said it or not

3. thats nice! please do, when did i tell you not to?

4. thankyou-the same goes for you and my comments

your double standards astound me.

Sorry, that wasn't aimed at me?

If you had intended to aim it at someone else, you should have used "their" in the second line.

So, out of generosity, I shall give you the chance to apologise and edit it.

Of your next post, the only thing of any note is 2. He clearly has some talent but there's something truly average about him. I hope he has a good season and he has some good atributes. Sadly, of the handful of games I've seen, touch isn't up there.

LOL -thanks for you generosity-you are a scholar amongst men.

it was kinda aimed at APs comments that you then replied to, and more generaly at those who slagged him after his arseal performance as already stated.
if id meant you id have quoted you-

agree totally about his touch, but hes improving, and all im saying is those that have been saying he was not a proffesional footballer at all are wrong. average i can live with

it wasnt aimed at you, cos i dont think youve ever said that.
if i was going to pointlessly pigeonhole you id put you in the generally sensible and erring on the negative side recently camp
not the out and out vehemently negative about everything this club does camp.


still aint apoligising though, or changing it
though i appreciate the kind offer:wink:

some excellent stuff in the first half from Kebe faded in the second but so did the whole team....



ill give you a name who isnt a good player Bobby Convey

like playing with ten men

[Platypuss]

Not a bad player, but surely better as a sub - no impact whatsoever second half.

i agree although he never really got given the ball with space infront of him....

Jury is well and truely out still.

He had a few good runs against Plymouth and looked like he could cause some problems and create a few chances. However, he still looks frail and lacking something in the technique stakes. I won't talk about his defensive abilities as it's early to say yet and him and Rosenoir need a bit of time to forge an understanding.

Today he again looked like he could cause a few problems against a pretty average looking left back. As soon as he'd sussed out Kebe's only two options, head down and run down the outside, or his one and only trick that he uses to cut inside, the left back had him in his pocket. He created a couple of chances again, which is a plus, but he still doesn't look good enough for a side with intentions of pushing for promotion.

lol at questioning technique, not a player in our squad that can dribble as well as him (sad i know)

we should have been looking for Kebe with space infront of him all game but he didnt get the chance to go at the lft back in the second half not really in his pocket imo. If Kebe isnt good enough neither is the rest of the team, i hope thats not true

[Southbank Old Boy]

Is technique dribbing alone then? For whats it's worth I'm not sure what I see Kebe doing is really dribbling. Yes he runs at defenders but he'd doing just that, running apart from when he uses his one trick to jink inside. If thats good dribbling then I've been watching a different game over the last 25 years. I also think that if you watch Doyle, he actually dribbles with the ball a lot better, he has it under control and can change direction a lot more without falling over.

Anyway, by technique I mean the ability to control the ball, move with it under control, pass and strike it. From what I've seen so far Kebe isn't that good at any of it. I will give him a chance to prove me wrong by doing any of that consistently well, and I hope he does, but at the moment the evidence I've seen suggests he's lacking.

will have to agree to disagree, Doyle is good at dribbling but never ever ever looks like beating a player. Kebe with one trick = more tricks and more likely to beat a man than our whole attacking force

[Big Foot]

Jimmy Kebe has looked really good this season IMO

Was decent at Forest, MoTM for me vs Plymouth and looked positive again vs Charlton.

Keep it coming son.

'greed

He's good on the ball and isn't afraid to take on the defender. Also his crossing seems to be improving.

[Chaney]

I am signing in because I do not think Jimmy Kebe is a good player.

Thanks.

BUMP

[Chaney]

Fair play to Jimmy Kebe, in an utterly dump game, his sheer incompetence and crapness kept me entertained throughout the day.

BUMP

[sam1]

Well, his sheer ability and competence kept me happy today.

[brendywendy]

To be fair i dont know if im worried or ecstatic about this:
Jimmy kebe has been our most consistent, creative, dangerous, and improving with every game. A cult hero already.so pleased for the bloke.if he can keep this up through autumn,ill be totally convinced. Heres to further vindication.didnt spot owt wrong with his goal either.

I think the ref (wrongly) thought he'd backed into the defender. In any case, the whistle had blown a long time before he shot, the 'keeper wasn't trying.

I still think Henry's a better player.

[Ian Royal]

Feel free to correct me, but for all his deadly running and skinning of defenders has he actually set up a chance we've put away yet?

Looks spectacular, but seems to lack the final ball and make the wrong choices too mouch still for me. But despite that, with him and Hunt we have drive and excitement and keep defenders off balance. I'll settle for that for now. If he eventually starts actually producing goals either himself or for others I'll be over the moon.

FFS is it his fault other players cannot finish the chances he lays on? Lost count in the first half of Long and Doyle not making the right runs to get on the end of very decent balls. The lay off to Doyle for what should have been his hat trick was perfect, maybe he should have gone on to have a go himself but not a wrong choice imho.

[rg6royal]

Kebe seems to be getting better and better. Long may it continue!
