Think you need to send him a card m8. He'd probably really appreciate it.
 
I can see him getting a chance in the prem before too long, robinson left to shed utd after getting 14 goals in a season, riis has managed to get 4 this season and bagged 20 last season, turned out to be a smart decision to keep him and hold out for better offers in the future.

Plenty like you mate, I was of that opinion too, he did give the impression that he didn't want to be here and his game was all over the place. Think it must have been frustration on having practically no link play or service,cant be easy.

All about partnerships linking well on the pitch, Fernandez gets it and is now providing service to him plus Brady can link things together, thus his confidence level is on the up, it fucking must be to notch with a perfectly positioned header!

Think most wanting to sell him just wanted to get some much needed funds to strengthen the squad just to try something different as the perception is we just wouldn't get out of this cycle of boredom, two things - wouldn't see the cash and we'd get Cole Stockton as replacement.

I love being proved wrong about players or managers and love a good portion of humble, absolutely raging when Moysie got the gig, that didn't work out too bad did it?
 
You need not eat humble pie if you were simply point out his performances were poor, because they were. But we know with Emil that he doesn't need to play well to score goals. And that'll do for me.

His finishing ability is incredible, you can tell he is trying to be more involved in play but when he is left unmarked on a counter attack or breaks away from his man he looks world class. Its no coincidence that one of the first players we signed from overseas in a while has turned out to be such a huge success, there is many many players like Riis and im interested to see who we will go for in January or next summer depending on outgoings.

Generall speaking , it’s a big ‘if’ though. Can’t really remember who said what - but the slagging off of Riis and Lowe from quite a few individuals has been ridiculous - and undermines the togetherness that helps breed success at football clubs.

If it was from the collision from the advertising board he had all those Stoke cretins booing him despite the fact he was off the field.

I wish him a speedy and successful recovery one of our better players no matter how you spin it.

I'm not convinced it was the collision with the board that caused it. He seemed to hyper extend his knee in the fall that was a result of his own poor touch. Still, a sickener for the lad & I wish him well with his recovery. It was just Stoke fans being Stoke fans
