Igor Thiago (1 Viewer)

My mate pointed out that KLP, Dams and Thiago were all wearing the size XS shirt. He looked ripped.
From my read on his personality just like his apparent upbeat nature when he was injured, he’s not to concerned about any given game not scoring. It must be great for Schade to only be one goal behind Haarland.

I love his hold up play and running the channels but he seems a bit tentative in front of goal with two half chances on Saturday and two tonight - one a glaring miss. Just needs one to go in!

 

[hanworthbee]

Would have loved to have seen him tuck away that chance at 2-1 right in front of us.......
Did well to control the through ball, and shrug off the defender, and was a decent save from the keeper, but a goal for the big man would've been handy.
(Also had a half decent chance from a cross from our right, and was definitely onside when ref blew up for FT as he broke away at the end.........)

As an aside, a bit odd to see those 2 kids run on the pitch at FT, take a selfie with him, and then get his shirt!!!

Should have squared it to mikkel but can understand why as a striker you wouldn't

He's been in and out of my FPL team more times this week than a Bonnie Blue event.

So pleased to see him score in the league tonight... he needed it!

 

[brentfordfc4ever]

Yes, yes, yes. So pleased for him.

Kept him in my FPL too. Bonus

Nice to bag a goal before the break!

His all round game was superb tonight. A massive improvement in that part of his game. Kev is loving it.

Agreed, hold up play was great and used the ball really well once he had it.

 

[BFC1997]

Actually a pretty composed finish, a little harder than it looked. Many would have snatched at it and seen it blocked

 

[NickThe(Half)Greek]

Incredible work rate.

 

[Banana]

What a specimen

 

[badgerbee]

Another immense performance from the big man!!!

As an aside, not sure what the general tactical halftime change/changes were that made us so dominant in the 2nd half.
But definitely noticed that IT and Kev were switching at times as to who was out left, and who was central.
Clearly worked!!!
Take a bow Chief Keith!!!

We simply went longer. Chelsea high line is vulnerable. When they won aerial ball we won 2nd balls from knockdowns. They really only had 2 in midfield one is is 36

A specimen?? He is wearing a bra without any tits

My son and I have been saying this since the pre season games…. He’s added so much more to his game since last season. Obviously scoring is the ‘sexy’ bit that gets you noticed, but his strength, positional play, hold up play and little passes to bring others into the game have improved dramatically.

Despite only scoring once, he’s a better footballer than 25/26.

 

[hanworthbee]

Really pleased to see him score

 

[filmyfan]

Great finish - didnt have much to aim at if you see the angle from behind the goal

Many strikers would've just whacked it but you could see it was careful placement.

Was right in front of me.........and for a split second I thought he'd put it into the side netting!!

 

[RitchBee]

Hopefully that goal will give him the boost he needs you could see how much it meant to him

 

[BuzzingBee95]

Me too! It crept in just inside the post.

In a way it’s both a chance you dream of and equally dread as a striker yet to open their new account.

 

[badgerbee]

Not sure about that.
Seemed to me like how he celebrates every goal he scores!!!!

 

[Untouchable]

Celebrating his first PL goal of the season with an international break trip to Mykonos.

Yes a lot lot more difficult than he made it look

Then when the two come together is like beautiful

He continues to get absolutely nothing from referees. Every game is the same, he is held, wrestled and pushed but never it seems is it recognised by the officials, it's bizarre to me.
Under the ball he is very different from Kev who generates his amazing lift from movement (like a high jumper) whilst Igor is often jumping or trying to jump from a static position. It's a tough gig

Watch him fly now, though! (When he gets back from his vacation).

We should show him a few Toney videos, he was top at getting the fouls awarded

Totally agree. Refs never slow to blow up though in favour of defenders being wrestled in the same way. No consistency.
