Huh, I didn't think Wisdom was that good. Think I'd prefer Whittaker, although I guess you could claim Wisdom isn't quite match fit.
That goal was a weird one wasn't it, looked like every player stood completely still apart from Steve Cook!As shown by the free header for their goal our defence is still shoddy.
I thought he looked really neat and tidy and much more composed in possession, but its a game of opinions!Huh, I didn't think Wisdom was that good. Think I'd prefer Whittaker, although I guess you could claim Wisdom isn't quite match fit.
Didn't go unnoticed by me either, a lot of our attacks started with him winning the ball in midfield and playing the first ball.but for me the unsung hero today was Howson, very classy show from him.
do you think you'd already come to that conclusion before kick off and regardless of how Wisdom actually played?Wisdom was impressive and it's shame that he'll be unavailable next week, as he looked considerably better than Whittaker.
The irony.do you think you'd already come to that conclusion before kick off and regardless of how Wisdom actually played?
He wouldnt have scored 2 overhead kicks, they'd have been disallowed...The irony.
With the greatest of respect, Wisdom could've scored 2 overhead kicks and a volley from the half-way line, as well as make 20 successful tackles and won every header, and you'd still be insisting that Whittaker is twice as good as him. I find your obsession to constantly praise him and defend him even when he's generally poor very odd.
Does Alex Neil keep picking generally poor players? Nah.generally poor .
I'm not saying Whittaker is generally poor. In the second half of last season he was very good, and consistant. However I remember during the bad run we went through under Neil Adams, you consistantly defended Whittaker, and if anybody criticised him you would immediately jump on that, despite the fact that he was incredibly poor throughout that run. This season he hasn't had a good start. He didn't have a clue against Zaha/Bolasie when we played Palace, he was average against Stoke and was plain stupid against Southampton, arguably costing us the game. His only 'good' game was the one against Sunderland where the whole team played well against a dire side. Wisdom has come in and had a good game today. He dealt with the pace of Ritchie well, and got forward effectively and performed better (in my opinion) than Whittaker has so far this season. I don't think it's at all unreasonable to suggest that he is better than Whittaker purely based on what we've seen so far this season, however the minute someone expresses this opinion you have to jump on.Does Alex Neil keep picking generally poor players? Nah.
As for Wisdom, I thought he played quite well. Particularly in the second half when he weighted a couple of forward passes very nicely. Caught out a couple of times defensivlely in the first half - including one weak tackle near the halfway line...but we'll overlook those because he's not Whittaker.
