strikeforce wise ... Ibini no doubt changed the game when he came on against GCU. Whether he could have that effect yet from a starting berth i'm not sure. Much easier to impact a stale performance and make an impression off the bench. I'd worry he'd get lost in the malaise a little just now if he started.
Exciting talent no doubt ... even my 7yo nephew switched his attention from 'chair surfing' his seat at Bluetongue when Bernie came on!
well re Paartalu ... i'd take him over someone at a second division Italian club or a mediocre Turkish team. No disrespect to the other DM options!
But the mentality that goes with being a player at a leading club in any league (even an emerging one like ours) versus an also-ran in Europe... There's Europe and then there's Europe, it ain't all equal. Well i think that merits some discussion as the camp has provoked.
Even if the comparisons to Xavi are a little ambitious ... but hey nothin wrong with a *little* of that at least! Like u say things can veer too far to self-defeatism sometimes.
yeah he was ahead of both Edwards and Rossi coming out of that corner ... but when he went down they had nowhere else to go but his bike then into him. The crash/fall was not a major one just in a bad spot as bikes behind were accelerating.
my first thought was that he'd passed out of had a seizure by the way he held on and looked limp as he slid across even before being hit. Was an odd looking fall from the video and still images i've seen.
