    He did it in a less glamorous fashion but was still a massive part of Wednesday's win. He is our outlet in Europe, someone to rely on when we 'hoof' it up (as some would say). He's world class in the sense he has the natural ability to take a ball down under his control, and has the strength and pace to keep it and make something happen. Not easy to find many people in Europe with his skillset IMO.

    I wasn't suggesting he was * or anything - just that his lack of match-sharpness and the knock on from the injury held him back a bit.

    Was glad to see him back for the game though as his height definitely is our ONLY offer for Forster to look for at goal kicks, punt outs etc.

    Without Samaras in the team, I think Forster's kicking suffers as he has literally NO options.

    Agree that we should keep him for the games that really matter, for example, the Champions League games.

    I'll be honest, I forgot to take Charlie into account when I was speaking about the goal kicks etc :52:

    I made a 15 minute Sammy video of last season and showed his turn of pace plenty but when I uploaded it to YouTube it got taken down for copyright. I still have it on this laptop.

    Anyway, I love Sammy now so cruical in Europe for us. To fair while he didn't have a great game in Moscow, he was part of 3 of the 4 massive moments in the match for us. Only game he wasn't really involved in was Wednesday but he clearly wasn't fit.

    You should try putting the video that you made on DailyMotion mate and then upload the link to here. I think DailyMotion are more lenient with copyrighted stuff than YouTube are, obviously because DM are nowhere near as well known as YT.
