Taihth Chong

[JohnDenver]

Bert has always rated him.

He's going to be one of our best players next season.

I applaud Bert for his willingness to make this case.

I don’t doubt there’s latent talent in Chong. But his output in recent years suggests it’s buried irretrievably deep.

No change there he plays brooks on the wrong side for me

Feck inverting wingers - it's a fool's tactics unless you're so rich that wingers in your squad are strong on their weaker foot

Looks like you never got picked for the school football team or played in the local leagues?

 

[I should coco]

Work ? Binning perhaps

Harsh...

...but fair.

Maybe switch 'Tahith Chongee' to 'Colin Morris'.

You're showing your age, but you aren't old enough.

It was of course:

"ALAN, ALAN WOODWARD".

Much as I loved TC, Woody really was the real deal.

Any highlights reels will show you that Chong plays best in teams that attack at pace with runners in behind. Either finding his runs, and/or him looking to pick out runners.

He's been out of form, granted. He's been in comparison to the much more effective Brooks. But we've also likely played a system that is too slow and ponderous for what suits him most.

He'll score the goyl that gets us promoted... screenshot this.

OK, now what?

If we get promoted next season, I will run and up and down Bramall Lane naked at the first home game of the following season.

Please don't screenshot this!

34 seconds in -

Watch out for him when they play Germany 6:00 PM BST on Sunday, 14 June 2026.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

The new Valderama.

 

[JOEYDEE]

Let's just hope he has a great WC ,and is a standout for Curacao,(shouldn't be hard),and some daft bid is lodged for him

Nope, run over The Ambassador Bridge naked apart from a Blades scarf until you get to Windsor.

 

[programmechap]

Fun fact. Chong is the only player in the Curacao world cup squad actually born in the country. The others were all born in the Netherlands

 

[Lord Eddard Muir]

Very tempted to get a DHGate Curacao #21 shirt, only conundrum is whether to get CHONG or CHONGY on the back

 

[vas borbokis]

I'm probably Wilder but that type of quick breakaway goal he's scored vs. Scotland seems to be exactly the stuff we manage to somehow "coach" out of our players when we've had them here a few months.
I don't get it!

Worked out ok. for Arsenal, though they can afford better players.

Because Arsenal’s wingers operate on the opposite flank to their stronger foot (a left-footed player on the right wing, or a right-footed player on the left), their natural movement is to cut inside onto their dominant foot. This allows them to shoot directly at the far corner or play killer passes into the box

Brilliant goal from Chongy tho.

The advantage of having an inverted winger, in tandem with a conventional full back (a la Brooks and Seriki), is that you have the option to pose threats by either cutting inside or getting to the byline.

That's more difficult to defend than, for example, two right footed offensive players on the right wing, who can both be shown inside or two left footed players who can be shown down the line.

Many teams last season, Coventry being the obvious exception, struggled to cope with the variety of threats presented by Brooks and Seriki, when at full flow.

Well taken goal, however, may I remind you it was against Scotland

Be a good pub quiz question in 10 years

He’s been largely useless for us, but there were definitely some green shoots of recovery towards the end of the season, maybe he could be alright for us and I don’t expect many teams to be that interested in signing him anyway as isn’t he on a decent wedge?

Agreed, especially as he is 26 (27 in December) so not exactly young. Not sure of his salary but we have him for another 3 seasons which isn't the best but if he can turn out and be available as a good championship player, I can see him worth keeping. If we play to his strengths, he was excellent against Derby, although doubtful they will get out of the group, if he plays in 3 games at the World Cup, hopefully that will build his confidence. He seems popular within the squad which is never a bad thing, hopefully he can get onto the front foot and push on.

Different to Hecky who would let Ndiaye and others just go with it.

 

[232 Bramall Lane]

Not O'Haireh?

Eh!

 

[jimmymuir]

Hope he somehow has an amazing World Cup and some foolish club takes him off our hands.

If it's an amazing World Cup, to say they have Germany, Ecuador and Ivory Coast in their group, not sure who would be more foolish if we offload. If he plays as an average player, he will still have a good World Cup, with 3 years left on his contract, definitely in the list of possibles to move on although could be a Dutch side that goes in for him as I can't see many other clubs in the Championship forking out £millions.

CHONGEH for full Wilder dialect.
