The above post is music to my ears.
Great one! :respectMbaki Mutahaba said:patrick42uk said:fair point about the boy being a confidence player. but reyes has put in some atrocious performances in his time here and still had his name ringing round highbury. i wonder also how it makes his team-mates feel when he gets that undesrved praise. i dont expect him to be booed when he plays crap but he shouldnt be rewarded for it.
i just get this feeling that reyes is liked for factors not linked to footballing ability or potential. maybe its because he works hard and has a smile on his face, but then coupled with scoring 15 goals a season wiltord was exactly the same yet he didnt get no special treatment.
I am glad..those who are lucky enough to go to highbury do NOT have your attitude. The first thing in football that any football fans appeciates is the "effort". And if you are having a bad day.which happens in all professions..the fact you gave it all will always give u PROPS. Look at Toure though his position does cause more damage on off-nights,,but you can never take away the heart/passion he puts in the game..and since you already know he has skills..then on off-days you still want to encourage him. Its very f* NATURAL and logical to do that. I am a Pires fan..but i know he will always get stick on bad days at the office cos he has never proven his work rate..and same goes to quite a lot of our french players. So let HIGHBURY clap for Reyes, he works his butt off..gets tired with more defensive work..then you slag him for not creating sh* upfront. Well put him upfront and see for yourself. Even the few times we played with him as the lone striker..you could see how much he tracked back when we lost the ball compared to our captain..who spends most of the time..just walking around..talking to himself.

Reyes's work-rate, commitment and tracking back resulted in various Utd players, Ronaldo in particular being pressured to get rid of the ball ASAP and make mistakes. Had Reyes not bothered running back, Ronaldo could have skinned Cygan countless numbers of times, and would probably have been upended again, thereby receiving a red card.
Honestly, sometimes the trash some people post is appalling. You make it sound as if Reyes didn't play out of his skin, when he was the guy who was running here, there and everywhere trying to win back posession and create chances. As Kel said, it's not his fault it didn't lead to anything when the person he supplies screws the move up.
The fact you used ''apparently'' with regards to describing Henry's performance begs me to think whether you even watched the game. ''Oh, Henry passed the ball into the box one time more than Reyes did, who worked his ar$e off all game whilst Henry was as effective as sh!t - so yeah, Henry was better.'' I love the logic behind that one, congratulations, seriously.[/quote="Tegh"]
if you had to just deride me you could have done withonly a couple of sentences-dint need to write a long post without any arguments-* or otherwise.
regarding reyes, in a couple of years time-if it isnt too late already-it'll be clear who was right and who was wrong.
oh and btw, its never reyes fault is it? but its always henry's, cygan's and pires fault or at othertimes its the weather, his gf, his mom......

The stupidity of your original post is exactly the reason why I had to 'deride' you, and I felt justified in using the term '*'.whoztheman said:Tegh said:One of the most * posts I've ever seen..

Tegh said:How many of our players took shots? How many shots did we even have without passing it inside the area to walk the ball home.
How many crosses did we make? When we did, was anyone in there? Nope, Lauren crossed into the box early in the second half, Henry was on the wing somewhere not doing much.
Reyes beat his man a number of times, not always on the wing though. There were a few instances when he cut inside in our own half running past two or three Utd players and laying the ball off. However, then we either gave the ball away or moved up the pitch, passed it around the box, and gave it away again.
