It was reckless still, but I do get your point. Dunno how it wasnt a red though or a penalty, but then again i recall feeling so sick for George the result didnt matter, i cant imagine i could have cheered a goal from a penalty. I felt worse than when Barker got injured, but thats maybe because it was right in front of me and Barker was the other end of the pitch. Time seemed to stand still while they were treating George on the pitch. I remember the feeling after the game that even though we were in the play offs, that challenge had basically out an end to our season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said this few times on here, as so many people seem of the opinion Thorne had 15 good games for 13/14 and then after his ACL was poo. Had a very good season that year.

cannable Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 He was everything you could want from the position. Tall, strong, quick enough to recover, read the game, good in the tackle, passed through the lines, passed in behind, had a diagonal, could shoot. That’s putting it simply. He did the technical details well, always looking to receive the ball on the back foot, backed up play so as to allow him to control the game whilst screening simultaneously, etcetera. He wasn’t perfect; one footed, the occasional sloppy miscontrol, his more ambitious passes were zipped with the expectation that the recipient could control it. He’d be playing for England right now. He was that good. His spell in 13/14 is still the best thing I’ve ever seen at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had he not played against Ipswich he’d have been the second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sexydadbod Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Sadly I don’t think he has the same passion for football anymore. I know he used to like watching fellow professional midfielders games and incorporating them into his own, he used to like watching Marco Verratti and Toni Kroos play regularly in particular and studying them to see how he could improve himself. Injuries can sadly kill a player’s career and passion for the game. He needs to talk to his mates calum chambers and Oxlade Chamberlain and get their views because they have suffered some bad injuries themselves. I can unfortunately see him retiring within the next few years and launching a clothes or modelling career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was meant to be one for the ladies, but they've just made him look deformed! Funnily enough (or not funny at all actually, but still...) one of my eyes always goes like that, whenever I put any form of fruit in my mouth.
