Good good, cheers.Tricky_Trev said:He said he got kicked in the first 5 mins. "No big deal" were his words.aguero93:20 said:BBC said he had his foot on ice after the game, anyone know more? Hope it's not serious, can't see Sergio having 90m in his legs 8 days from now.
aguero93:20 said:Proper battering ram centre forward performance from him today, great flick for Dave's goal, great hold up play, all he was missing was a goal himself and if he keeps playing like that once things have sharpened up behind him he won't be lacking for those.
Looks like he's gained half a yard of pace over the summer as well, sprint training? Very impressed.
I hope to god he keeps it up, he's a world beater with that effort.oakiecokie said:aguero93:20 said:Proper battering ram centre forward performance from him today, great flick for Dave's goal, great hold up play, all he was missing was a goal himself and if he keeps playing like that once things have sharpened up behind him he won't be lacking for those.

As not one of his biggest fans,but certainly NOT a hater,I was impressed with both his work ethic and bringing other players into the game,something which he has lacked in the past.
Now,if he can maintain this sort of effort on a constant basis and not when he feels like it,then i would be more than happy to hear Dzeko say to me "Fuck Off Oakie,I`ve proved you wrong".
However the old adage "one swallow doesn`t make a summer" springs to mind,so bearing that in mind I`ll wait for now.
Well played today though son.

It's mostly over the first 4-5 yards (he's always been quick enough once into his stride) , so I reckon he's been doing sprint training, optimising his start and building leg strength. Maybe dropped a few pounds as well which gives you less weight to push on the same muscle.oakiecokie said:aguero93:20 said:I hope to god he keeps it up, he's a world beater with that effort.oakiecokie said:As not one of his biggest fans,but certainly NOT a hater,I was impressed with both his work ethic and bringing other players into the game,something which he has lacked in the past.

The one thing that has surprised me,both today and last week,was his sudden turn of pace !! Where the fuck has that come from ??
