Re: Goal machine Noble
You're digging an even bigger hole for yourself. Nobody has a "problem" with Ji. But he has about as much right to be on the pitch as Noble, so why you are kicking off because some would like to see Noble play instead is beyond me.
In any case, he wasn't "decent" in the last game, he was poor. This doesn't mean he is finished, it just means that at the moment he doesn't look quite ready.
He also doesn't look much like an out and out goalscorer, whereas Noble appears to be exactly that. A lot of people are of the belief that we are desperate for a striker that concentrates on getting in the box and scoring goals, mainly because Bendtner does not do that. Therefore there's a reasonable suggestion for giving Noble a go.
Quite why you are taking a tantrum over Ji, I'm not sure. He isn't an established first team player, he's a young lad who has just come over from Korea and he will just be grateful to be here. His confidence will not be shattered if he doesn't start every week.
I don't get what f***ing problem this forum collectively have with Ji Dong-Won. He was decent last game - his first start. He's looked ok earlier when coming off the bench. He looked good in pre-season. He's looked good for Korea. He has the same goal ratio for the reserves as Noble - 2 in 1 - as far as I'm aware. Not many had formed much of an opinion on him until 15 minutes into the Wolves game after which he all of a sudden was cancer and would never make it as a footballer.
The majority of the members here would perform worse than a dice when it comes to assessing footballers. Bunch of knee-jerking wankers.
Noble has proven nothing in competitve football. He's been injured and come back and put in strong performances. For the reserves. I would love him to be successful here. I would love him to be given more of a chance than pointless sub appearances in extra time. But I have a very hard time understanding why starting Noble alone up front would be a masterstroke, while playing Ji would be a disaster.
