Walter Kidd Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 A few others have got the plaudits from Saturday, however, this kid does all the dirty stuff really well. I like him. Needs to work on his right foot though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jammy T Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I think he plays in a manner which it is easy to overlook / underestimate what he brings to the team. Watching the game on the box at the weekend led to me to think that we actually had a midfield with technically talented players - Aguiar, Ruben and Kingston. They might not be world beaters, might be a bit hot and cold but from a technical standpoint they are of a high standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruben had a job to do, and it was the sort of job that doesn't get you on the TV highlights. He did that job exceptionally well. I'd add by pointing out the run Larry made across the pitch in the second half - prior to being replaced - it spoke volumes for the unit that was our midfield: intercepted a Rangers pass, quick one touch passing to get out of a box, then darts across the pitch to open up play with massive off the ball movement all around him, Ruben and Bruno esp. Only a snapshot, sure but Realy did suggest to me that what's been worked on in training is working on the pitch. Deodato Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelly Terraces Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Didn't do much wrong on Saturday, but did a hell of a lot that was very right. Should start versus Mudderhell I reckon. Well played RP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might not be world beaters, might be a bit hot and cold but from a technical standpoint they are of a high standard. Karipidis as well. All comfortable on the ball with a good first touch and don't panic in possession. Still not quite up to the standard of the Hobos midfield though:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamboLad Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Brillier is ten times the player he will ever be. You should re-phrase that to Brellier is ten times the tackler he will ever be altough Ruben is far more superior in the technical side of the game. Brellier ran about like a hatchet man and done his job briliantly. Ruben done that part really well on Saturday but was also very composed with the ball and kept possession which Brellier could simply not do. Totally different players so they cant really be compared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hilary Briss Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Ruben is a quality player. Never hides and always wants the ball. Maybe not the most creative and I think it defo works better with Larry on the right. He has prefect attitude also........never spat the dummy out when he wasnt getting a game and then grabbed his chance when it came. I have said it before but the balance of our midfield on saturday was perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
portobellojambo1 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 A few others have got the plaudits from Saturday, however, this kid does all the dirty stuff really well. I like him. Needs to work on his right foot though. Palazuelos is very like Karipidis with regards to fan reaction WK, he does his work, but does it quietly, and efficiently, and as a result tends to get overlooked. With these two there are no crunching, thumping tackles or such like. Palazuelos I actually think is possibly the most skillful of the players we have, certainly the best passer of a ball. But he does the easy thing, like Karipidis, which keeps the team ticking over. If the ball has to be delivered sideways or backwards neither of them is afraid to do it, but get pelters from fans for not doing what Weir and Bougherra did for Rangers on Saturday, pumping it long to let people chase, although the fans usually hide it behind comments like "too ineffective" (which is fecking BS). Both he and Karipidis got through a power of work on Saturday, and some of the distribution from Palazuelos was a delight to watch. I do agree he is very left footed, but in my eyes it is a very educated left foot, and his presence in the team will help us should we choose to adopt a more defensive formation versus Celtic at Parkhead in 2 weeks.

Haha, ya stirrer:p -you know I just went mental at that one point as it was getting sphincter tighteningly close at the end! I just lost the plot, it could've been anyone wi the bloody ball!

Makween Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I've always been critical of Palazuelos, but thought that he was fantastic on Saturday. I certainly don't see any reason why Stewart should walk back into the team, although I'm not utterly convinced that we need a player of Palazuelos's type for home games against the lower down SPL teams. Edit : Not if we're playing Karipidis, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambo19 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 thought he was great on saturday and should play instead of stewart on sat. well i think we should keep that team apart from jonsson or obua in for wallace. enjoyed watching ruben flick the ball over fergusons head then back over and run away with it. get it right up ye barry!

The People's Chimp Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I've often been a critic of RP, but on saturday he played very well. I still think he needs to keep it up and not revert to previous type. But well played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scooba1874 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Hes flamin awesome! I'v always said that and we should do everything we can to keep him in the team.. easily one of our best players.

Rivlin Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Ruben should be in in front of Stewart every week. As has been said quietly goes about his business unlike Stewart who is a liability most weeks with the occasional (very) purple patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
