Players you badly misjudged after a game or two

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

I always give players the benefit of the doubt and a couple of crap games will go down as two-offs, and then I expect them to win the Ballon d'Or - even our goalies. Even when they are universally condemned as hopeless, I still wish them to morph into Puskas.

Lampard.

i thought robinho was going to be the best player in the world after the portsmouth game.

 

[JoeMercer'sWay]

Balotelli, didn't see the fuss.

still don't see the fuss but at least he can score tap ins.

 

[ayia napa blues]

Ndj thought Wat a waste now fab player anyone who Slags him off still I suggest they just watch him for a game and see what he contributes what a legend

 

[PapaQube]

I am ashamed to say it but the 'Goat' garbage for first (half) season.

How wrong you can be!!!

 

[Bluemoon115]

Can't believe it hasn't been said, but Adebayor.

Absolutely outstanding in his first 4 games, then we may as well have had Benjani on the pitch.

The player in the current squad dzeko looks poor, hope i'm wrong, like i was about De Jong also thought Samaras looked good when he came on as sub how wrong was i.

 

[Bluefen]

I seem to remember Paul Lake's debut as being a bit iffy (although he was a youngester) and I was pretty young as well... how wrong could I be

Does anyone else remember his debut ??

Could be a long thread.

Plenty of false dawns over the years. It has gone full circle now where players are crap after a handful of games.

I'll admit I underestimated how good Tevez is.

I also though Carls Griffiths would break scoring records.

carl griffiths is the manager of averly fc in essex! he's a legend amongst orient fans
