Best opposition player you have seen so far this season

[1973Blade]

A difficult one, I don't think there has been an outstanding one so far. I would go for Djenepo for Southampton, a fantastic goal but also looked classy throughout the game. He is currently injured which hasn't helped Southampton.

 

[BladeInIreland]

Can't remember his name but there was a defender for Leicester who played a blinder against us.

 

[raimond]

Before every other bugger says it, Van Dijk

 

[Stretch]

Completely agree

This lad.
More of a DM but I’d have to agree.

 

[Bladesman]

Before every other bugger says it, Van Dijk

Agreed. When we looked like we were about to score or create a chance, he just appeared from no where to win the ball.

 

[Sandygate Blade]

Like others have said Can Dijk. Think even I'd look good playing alongside him.

 

[CarlMcBlade]

VVD

 

[Iceybabey]

Van Dijk, Choudhury and the Leicester CB with the mop head.

Thought Lacazette looked strong and dangerous for a small looking fella. Looks small on TV anyhow.

That long haired geezer? I thought he was quality n'all.

Soyuncu is who I thinking about. Choudhury was good as well now you mention it

 

[Beans]

Choudhury for Leicester was brilliant. The right-back Pereira too, probably the only quiet game Enda has had all season. Guendouzi was decent for Arsenal.

Yesterday was also the first time I've watched Declan Rice and got the hype - thought he was excellent.

But yeah, Van Dijk.

Van Dijk for me - looked a real man... fact he looked so good showed how well we played.......... and those 2 dudes with cool hair as well ... the Leicester lad Choudhury and the Arsenal lad Guendouzi I would sign

 

[Punk Blade]

DF van Dijk
MF Fabinho
ST Vardy

Can’t believe the number of Leicester players mentioned ahead of Vardy. I’ve never seen so much organisation and leadership from the top of the pitch like that, keeping the line of the front three like a CB marshals his defence, leading the press, demanding more from his teammates, constant intelligent movement off the ball, relentless running and when we gave him a chance I could hear from the back row of JSS how cleanly he struck it. He may be a pig but he’s an excellent footballer. Even putting his goal aside he was a class above Mané, Salah and Aubameyang.

Is that the single most terrorist name one can imagine?

I know he isn't one before anyone gets all pissy. Just think his name is funny.

 

[McGrath]

Van Dijk and Mane

 

[blade67]

Before every other bugger says it, Van Dijk

shortest thread ever. he was totally class. The only one I can think of who really impressed me but I tend to watch us not the opposition. I takes real quality before I take notice.

 

[Willie Carlin]

For what we need Vardy. I’d take him in a flash.

Vardy was very good. You can never relax with him on the pitch

 

[dronny_blade]

VVD, arguably one of the best defensive performances I’ve ever seen at the The Lane

 

[RMBlade]

Thought Matip did well alongside VVD

 

[RossoDeltic]

Choudry and VVD. Thought the Arsenal lad in midfield looked a tidy player too.

 

[true99blade]

Totally with you re: Vardy.

Compared to Abamayang, Firminho and other things No 9's - he's been a different gravy.

Of all the players we've played against whom would have the biggest impact on our performances if they signed for us - he's be right up there for me!

 

[SB_90]

for me it has to be vardy he was he most threatening forward Ive seen at the Bramall lane in a while. which is obvious praise indeed considering the Mane Salah Firmino Pepe Aubameyang Lacazette. but also I would give mentions to Kasper schmeicial I thought he quality, pulled off few world class save to stop it going 2-2 & Harvey barnes best opposition goal ive seen since that Gillingham game 2014

The sight of middle aged men with beer guts in replica shirts rising like teenagers to being bated like that is one of the more depressing sights at football matches. "Everyone look at me, I both look and act like a spoilt childish twat."
