papereyesWingers like Hunt who are all action, flying into tackles really are the rarer breed than the more flamboyant but often powderpuff wingers.
But also tend to get drawn inside, to where the action is.
Platypuss The phrase "more by luck than judgement" comes into play here!
Ian Royalbrendywendy But thats irelevant plat. I said kebe uses his head to good effect both defensively and offensively in every game.sun decided he never did,and when he attempted to, he failed miserably.im simply pointing out that in the very next game there was clear evidence that i am right that sun still refuses to accept.
Kebe contributes with his head, but he is not what I'd describe as effective or good with it.
Alan PartridgeSun Tzu Wendy does seem obsessed by this !
Kebe's challenge was superbly effective, it led to a goal. It was barely a header, and there was no control on his part but that matters little.
It's an empty debate really, he could set up goals with his backside for all I care but there's no evidence to support the claim that he's decent in the air and it's a bit bizarre to take an inaccurate statement from a journalist to back up your position rather than the obvious evidence of your own eyes !
I don;t really rank aerial ability as a key requirement of a winger, I'll take whatever Jimmy can offer but it'll be interesting to see what crumbs wendy drags up to defend the indefensible in future games !
Good luck !
brendywendy as you say really is obsessed with Kebe and you must not criticise him. What you get from Kebe unlike a lot of wingers in effort as well, he knows he's poor defensively and in the air but he challenges, that's often enough as you say it was effective because Reading scored from it. Los of wingers don't challenge, that's in their natural make up in lots of cases. Kebe is quick, he's attacking and he has played a part, a significant part this season, but he's nowhere near the finished article. His final ball isn't particularly great and for a winger he really does have limited skill or trickery. It's about pace, a good fullback could take care of him fairly comfortably I'd say. His touch really lets him down, he'll beat the man but the 2nd touch bounces away and they can recover. Lost count recently how much that's happened.
The counter arguement and it's a valid one is if he was the finished article with little flaws he wouldn't be here anyway. He's done well enough this season, not overly convinced he's as good as some make out, and certainly it's an area of the field that needs looking at in the summer, particularly if Reading go up.

Spot on
He shows little if any appetite for tackles or headers but otherwise makes a great contribution. No complaints from me but I can't see how anyone can argue that he is good in the air
andrew1957 Lita - 7 - I am not a Lita fan but thought he did ok tonight to be fair apart from missing an easy header. Took the goal well but unchallenged
brendywendy rubbish

It's not though is it. Whenever someone has questioned Kebe you have piped up. Not having a go, we all have our favourites and players we defend.

TBF Brendy is not up him/her(?)self like some "dull and uninspiring" posters and I treated that with a hearty LOL when I saw it.
Royal Rother If Kebe is really a great player, what is Messi?
brendywendy youll all be laughing on the other sides of your many faces when i produce......
