Brobbey. An absolute nightmare for defenders.

This lad is an absolute machine. Today again, he played with his back to the defence and held up the ball superbly, seemingly always with an eye to play the ball on. Lovely link up play with Sadiki especially. He has an eye for goal aswell.

He causes defenders so many problems, the lad never stops. He's catching the eye of many because of his play and it's no suprise. I can't think of any other striker/forward in the league as physical as this lad. What a signing.

Should have scored with that header.
Brilliant player, and he will only get better next season.
 
I can just see refs giving loads of fouls against him, the whining starts and gets penalised for nowt.

Remember Quinn getting loads of free kicks given against him for fuck all.
 
Love him! He’s a beast.

Put one on Romero in the corner after about 15 mins when we pressed them and Romero and VDV then spent 45 mins trying to kick him and do him. Had 3 of them on yellows.

Porro booking was soft but I think he could have got one for pushing Romero into Kinsky.

Spurs bunch of whining divers - Kolo Muani has the attributes to do similar for Spurs and he’s fast / but he dives all over the place all the time. Pathetic.

Connor Gallagher was a waste of a shirt. £45m. Laughable.

Yeah I think he knew what he was doing there

You see little pushes like that 10 times a game when a striker is chasing to get the ball.

If he had been punished it would have been purely for the outcome not the foul because both of their players got hurt.

But you can’t referee based on outcomes. The push itself was innocuous just unfortunate Romero then piles into Kinsy


Meant to respond to this.

It wasn’t innocuous mind, taking my red and white eyes off he knew exactly what he was doing

This I’ve watched it back and thought nowt or it at the game at full speed. Seeing it replayed slowed down etc still think it’s nowt. You see it all the time it was a slight push the defender is waiting to be pushed and almost causes the collision himself the way he reacts. At full speed it was the slightest of nudges people screaming red cards and stuff baffle me.

Really at full speed you think he has the time to think I’m ganna push the lad into the other lad?. The defender is blocking half his view of the keeper’s position at the time also. Was a slight push with attacker and defender running at a decent clip to chase the ball.

He wasn’t at full speed though, had slowed down because he knew he wasn’t getting the ball
 
Spurs actually made an adjustment to put one in front to stop the ball going to him at one point, he is that good taking two or three men to stop him, like a winger!

Still running mate wasn’t walking, it was the slightest of pushes you see all the time when another player blocks off. Just unfortunate the keeper was so close, the defender doesn’t help either really don’t think he needed to go over like that but that players now first feel of contact they’re already in the way down. It’s why there pen was overturned as he was already in his way down.

Spurs fans whinging like fuck about him. I'd be more concerned about their 2 upfront as Brobbey did more than their 2 put together today.

Solanke and Richarlison..100m kerching.. what a pair of wet wipes
Brobbey 20m

He's come into the Premier League fairly raw and his game on the pitch to all these PL defenders has seemingly been - you're playing against me. Very similar to Hughes.

Hughes was tough and uncompromising but in terms of strength BB is on another planet

We’ll agree to disagree then. I love Brobbey, and if it was deliberate it probably came out of frustration because as usual he got little protection from the referee during the game, which I completely get
 
He’s an absolute monster. Bit of a throwback CF. I don’t think there’s anyone else like him in the Prem.

Was bored last night and went onto West Ham’s forum to see their reaction. Quite a few posters saying how terrible Brobbey is and that he wasn’t PL quality or words to the effect. :eek:

He needs somebody running off him.

The wide players should be cutting in running off him, the midfield need to be getting up there, supporting him more.

We absolutely do play to his strengths

He's now drawing a lot of fouls as a result of being so good at pinning defenders. They know they're powerless in that situation, but resorting to lunging tackles is also not working.
