Guest Mee-9 Posted 26 October 2010 Share Posted 26 October 2010 I'm not going to hold back at all. You're clearly a fucking clueless tit who decided from the first moment to dislike the player, regardless of the fact he was coming off the back of a successful WORLD CUP and you're piling on with your ridiculous bias despite the rising evidence against you. As much as I highly doubt Thracian is going to come on here and rate him as highly as myself and most other people, I'm pretty sure even he'll put his hand up and admit that Abe was much improved today. Love you too babe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houdini Logic Posted 26 October 2010 Share Posted 26 October 2010 I'm not going to hold back at all. He must go. I was against the signing of him, and frankly, Why the hell is he taking Wellens/Oakley's place? Useless sack of shit. How many full games has he had for us?! Give the lad time to adapt and find form ffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cambridgefox Posted 26 October 2010 Share Posted 26 October 2010 Huge culture shock,huge language barrier,huge step up in the pace of the game.Think he has potential as he wouldnt be in the Japan national team.give him a chance to shine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mee-9 Posted 26 October 2010 Share Posted 26 October 2010 I dislike the bloke because: - Signed obviously behind Sousa's back. (Picture with Top when he signed, not Sousa) - He doesn't fit any system what so ever. - Knowing Leicester City's owners, we probably payed £5million for him, and hes probably on twice as much Campbell was on. Japanese 'footballing stars' dont come cheap. - He doesn't improve! The amount of time he gave the ball away tonight. - THAT throw-in. - Whats the point of having a player in your squad, that can't even communicate, Might as well play with a deaf person. - We can all say his signing was a publicity stunt. Without a doubt, Asian owners come in one day, Oh Hello first asian player to represent LCFC comes about a week after. And this asian player doesn't happen to be a normal player, it happens to be one of the biggest names in japanese football. - We could of spent the money better. Call me racist if you like,(Cue Samilktray) I couldn't give two shits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stand UP... Posted 26 October 2010 Share Posted 26 October 2010 Abe played well tonight I thought. I did however miss the aforementioned throw. This thread has a nasty smell of racism. Racism?? every comment above yours is not race related so how do you come up with that judgement out of interest? If like most they slag off Fryatt does that give you a nasty smell of racism aswell or does that not matter because he is English? No disrespect or anything but hate to see RACISM band wagon jumpers!

Bugg Posted 26 October 2010 Share Posted 26 October 2010 People behind me today were pissing me off about Abe's performance. I don't even think they were watching the game, all I heard was "Oh, he's just useless" "What a shit signing" "He should go back and play in his own country". Twats.

Thracian Posted 26 October 2010 Share Posted 26 October 2010 Well, at least Sven put Logan's howler into some sort of proportion pointing out that these things happen to goalkeeper's and mentioning there was no excuse for the third and fourth goals either which were little or nothing to do with Logan. Yes, it a game-losing error. It came just at the wrong time because our equaliser had given us a bit of renewed momentum but, while Logan takes the inevitable pillorying, there was not the slightest sign of fight after that goal. We just surrendered and there were very few comforts to be found. Finnegan got what he wanted with Abe in central midfield and while he was no more inadequate than some of his colleagues, the 4-1 scoreline hardly suggests he's the insurance our pitiful defence needs. For me he had a 20 minute spell at the start when he was busy enough and available enough and there was another shorter spell second half when he had a decent shot and did okay. But otherwise he was a periphery player - lightweight, a bit inaccurate, especially with his head and no great use defensively or creatively that I could see. Like one or two others I've no idea why he didn't take a couple of our free-kicks because Gallagher shows us little but how to miss the target. And without that specialist contribution I cannot see Abe scoring enough goals or making enough attacking impact to negate his defensive limitations. Yes, he can make simple passes quickly, he gets his head up to see the play and he's energetic enough, given the time to fully acclimatise that he so badly needs. But a man to lift us from the doldrums? Not yet he isn't. West Brom gave us a lesson in the basic requirements of a good football team... power, pace and self belief. They won more of the 50-50 balls as the game progressed, kept the ball patiently and, given chance to break forward they did so on all cylinders, racing forward in numbers and delivering fast, accurate and varied crosses into the danger zone. Logan made two outstanding saves and another block to prevent a harsher scoreline because, while we didn't disgrace ourselves in general play for an hour, we always lacked a cutting edge...with supposed front-line striker Howard never looking like scoring. Defensively we were always in trouble when West Brom attacked with any force. Berner offered little resistance at left-back and all the goals we conceded, apart from Logan's gaff were bad ones in terms of marking. Indeed. last 25 minutes or so almost the entire team looked head down, indifferent, and a shambles. They reflected a club low on confidence and seemed so bewildered by all the comings and goings they honestly didn't have the heart to respond to the disappointment of Logan's calamitous mistake. How badly we need stability and wise leadership. We were just too easily disheartened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demon_dog Posted 26 October 2010 Share Posted 26 October 2010 You see illegal throw in's at virtually every match, most of which the assistant referee fails to act upon. It just so happened that Yuki's tonight was not just bad, but bloody awful, a pensioner could have done better. I agree with Thracian though at best Yuki was just average tonight.

Kitchandro Posted 26 October 2010 Share Posted 26 October 2010 He's clearly short of confidence and he does need games at this level but I'm utterly bemused by anyone who brands him "shit" without doing the same for Wellens. Think he's more technically gifted than Wellens, passes the ball just as well if not better and closes down and tackles just as well. On the back of that performance and the start he made against Portsmouth I'd like someone to tell me what Wellens does in the middle that Abe doesn't. I actually think the opposite - what does Abe offer us that Wellens doesn't? Wellens also has the added quality of communication on the pitch - not only does he speak the same language as the rest of the team, he barks orders at the team and shows some urgency and leadership. Abe should not be in the team instead of Wellens or King, they are key players, and we should be playing 4 in the middle, not 5. Sorry but a player like Abe will not affect the game in an attacking sense enough, therefore there is little argument for packing him into a 5 man midfield and leaving us short up front. This is the issue I have with Abe, there is no room for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK I'm not saying Abe is useless but am I the only one who doesn't remember him doing anything at the World Cup? I mean I know he played but I barely noticed him, and when I recently watched highlights of the games he seemed to just wander around and he wasn't involved at all. I'm not saying he's crap, but is he going to make an impact? People have always said Gallagher is a 'luxury' player but I think that term fits Abe far more. We haven't got another Gallagher, he can bring some life into a game and score goals from nothing. But you could say Wellens does Abe's job and can contribute to creativity too. Abe on the other hand is a defensive midfielder and will do the basics. But at the end of the day, when we've got Wellens and King already, he's going to be a bit of what we've already got.

Finnegan Posted 27 October 2010 Share Posted 27 October 2010 I dislike the bloke because: - Signed obviously behind Sousa's back. (Picture with Top when he signed, not Sousa) So? If Lamey and Moreno are examples of Sousa signings then God bless Top. You think he's the the first Board signing we've had since Mandaric? Jesus. - He doesn't fit any system what so ever. Er. He's a simple DMC, are you thick? - Knowing Leicester City's owners, we probably payed £5million for him, and hes probably on twice as much Campbell was on. Japanese 'footballing stars' dont come cheap. "Knowing LCFC's owners" - what on Earth makes you think they're some sort of insane billionaires? Not everyone with money is a fucking idiot. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to work out that "nominal fee" in this instance likely means we got him for a song." - He doesn't improve! The amount of time he gave the ball away tonight. Seriously. Are you blind? Were you actually watching the game? That's his first full 90 minutes btw... - THAT throw-in. - Whats the point of having a player in your squad, that can't even communicate, Might as well play with a deaf person. He'll be learning the language, would you turn down Messi because his English is crap? Grow up. Besides, he can still communicate non-verbally, he's not an idiot. - We can all say his signing was a publicity stunt. Without a doubt, Asian owners come in one day, Oh Hello first asian player to represent LCFC comes about a week after. And this asian player doesn't happen to be a normal player, it happens to be one of the biggest names in japanese football. And if that brings in extra marketing revenue then fan flippin' tastic, to be perfectly honest. - We could of spent the money better. What money, we don't even know what he cost, or who else was available? shut up and get to bed you bumder Judging by this thread, Abe is Finnegans Deej :laugh: Probably. But the big difference is that DJ Campbell was here for an eternity and people eventually just got fed up of him, unlike Yuki Abe there was a large amount of optimism about him and besides the fact he really DID cost us an arm and a leg people were largely positive and excited about the signing. In contrast there are certain elements of this forum that have been ridiculously negative about Abe since before he even kicked a ball and it really winds me up. If he turns out to be complete horse shit I'll happily put my hands up and say "Yeah, okay, he's toss." But what I'll never say is "You were right" because how the hell do these people know he's not going to be a decent player for us? They don't. They're just acting on prejudice. And no, I don't necessarily mean the race card. There's more than one way to be narrow-minded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mack Posted 27 October 2010 Share Posted 27 October 2010 Anyone comparing Wellens to Abe clearly needs to make an urgent visit to specsavers... in my opinion. But this is a game of opinions, and one man's steak is another mans rotting horse flesh, so stop slagging each other off for having a different view on the lad. Time will tell if he turns out to be a worthy member of the team or just a token waste of space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSpaM Posted 27 October 2010 Share Posted 27 October 2010 He has got 18 for Free Kicks on FM - why dont he take them!!! It's not just fm that rates his free kicks, he's supposed to be amazing at them, and is well known in Japan because of this. I'm completely baffaled as to why he's not taken a single free kick since he joined. I was under the impression thats one of the reasons we brought him here in the first place.
