Hmm..difficult one that ...er let me hazard a guess.
Er...I think it has possibly stemmed from some rather quite timid poster with a name beginning with the letter V using the mythical 'transformation' of Lucas the player as a prime example of his own "trusting the manager's opinion of a player's ability" rather than what he'd seen with his own eyes to justify his own 'belief in Kenny whatever ' mantra. And then, when challenged on this apparent inconsistency in his argument, unleashing his 'ordinary fan impossibility to spot ability" theorem rather than having the grace to admit that perhaps some fans might just have been correct in their assertion of noticing off their own bat that Lucas from the start did, indeed, possess some definitive quality without actually doing so in order simply to do an Eddie Calvert impression but merely to illustrate that perhaps there is after all more than one fuckin poster on these godforsaken boards who knows what they're talking about.
You, sir, are one fuckin corker.
ahh I see now - I didn't recognise your scouting ability or your ability to see into the future - my apologies - it's all clear now, well I mean its clear why I didn't see it
the mythical transformation of Lucas - good touch - I'm definately out on a limb with that one now you have JB on you side its a proven fact he's as good now as he was then and so we dont believe the lad himself, we've learnt nothing about his mental strength, he hasn't actually put on the half stone he claims he has or improved his fitness and all round play .......these myths can be damn pesky
oddly enough as my post says the programme was on in the background - can't comment on the england games can't stand them - was he 'really good' in those games as JB suggested, did he comment at all on how he's been doing for us?
what was Didi's take on the mythical Lucas improvement?
I thought I mentioned half a dozen players in the trusting the manager bit - for some reason you seem to have focussed on lucas - when it could have been any number of players - didn't know it was such a sore point but hey ho I live and learn unlike some eh?
I'm inconsistent because I trust others views (better informed and more experienced people any way) over my own but I'm a know it all..........I couldn't see how great Lucas was after one game but others could and I'm the know it all....mmmm - nope struggling with those basic concepts
also can you explain the inconsistency between trusting the manager and er trusting the manager rather than you own eyes - that seems consistent........think you were having one of your bad moments there
'your own eyes' are massively over rated you have a tendency to see what you want to see - the campaign against Lucas being a prime example - sorry just re-read this this is not a dig at you specifically but everybody as in the evidence of your own eyes....the police stats on the wrong people being picked out in line ups for example is horrifying
are you still of the subroc school of not making it personal? you appear to have a problem with me which is disapointing I thought we were getting on betterer?
keep on smiling
