Brobbey. An absolute nightmare for defenders.

Really hope he rises above the hate and lets none of it get to his head. When you’re good people want to bring you down and that’s what some are doing. Have absolutely none of it Brobbey. Brobbey did nothing wrong whatsoever. That aggression is a key part of his game he shouldn’t change a thing. With experience he will fine-tune the missing details and he will become one of the best forwards in the world. That’s if he can manage to completely ignore the hate. Big support from our lot will ensure he succeeds.

His strength would have been a nightmare for defenders in any era. But I do think it causes the modern defences even more problems. They just aren't used to it.
 
Brian Brobbey. Half man half Ox.
The Ox In The Box!
I don't think that push on Romero was a yellow as you see it loads when a striker gives a defender a shove like that. but the 1st one below I wouldn't complain if was given as a yellow. Gifs below may take some time to load but most of this below is Thor'd from the ref thread.

As for the actual yellow he got, given the ref's position I can see why he thinks it's a yellow as Brobbey's elbow does catch Porro's chin, albeit not that hard. It was initially a free kick to us as Porro was all over the back of Brobbey but Brobbey is taking that ball all day long anyway. However yet again Brobbey grabs the shirt of a defender and then pushes his body back and moves his arm and his elbow must brush Porro's mush but nowt much in it but then helps shove Porro to the deck. Given the ref's position, viewing angle and watching in real-time speed then it's understandable how he can mistakenly see it as an elbow.

Brobbey ideally needs to cut down on shirt pulling as refs can see this more clearly unlike his strength of holding a player off. I think this is why he doesn't get as many fouls as some think he should. It's clear here that Brobbey has the strength even though Porro's is clambering all over him to get to the ball, unable to even move Brobbeyand Brobbey has the option of playing the ball as Porro is nowhere near.

Out of the 3, this is the one I'd book him for. Romero knows Brobbey is coming and tried to jump but Brobbey catches the side of Romero's left leg at the knee and also possibly hooks his foot. After he got booked he did seem to he keep a cool head the rest of the game and enjoyed Van de Ver getting booked.

Brobbey has bullied their defenders all over the pitch. Every single one of them got smashed hahah You just love to see it. He's a right nasty bastard to play against. It's brilliant but to have on your team lol

I totally understand why we don't but would love it if we tried Isidor up top with him.
maybe a new role for Isidor as a "shadow striker" a link between midfield and a striker. He has so much pace. Problem is, he need to know how to keep the ball better and stay in control.
I wish Brobbery play for England as a 2nd choice striker for the World Cup. It would be class like.
Holland got themselves a good player. Lucky bugger.

I felt Spurs were targeting him. Van Der Ven and Romero were definitely trying to rough him up
I read it the other way. No defender wants to be bullied by the CF, so they were both determined to battle - but he's so strong he wins the fight easily and they just end up fouling him and hence the two yellow cards
 
He is a proper old fashioned, strong, bullying centre forward. You don’t see many like him anymore.

He is worth his weight in gold, and that’s how much he will cost
He's worth more than £11,439000 man janey, double his weight in gold at the very least, hell even triple 😎😘🤣
