Georgios Samaras

Love the big guy. Living down in England, I'm constantly facing people saying he was pish at Man City, his performances now show how * the SPL is, how below par Celtic are etc... my friend said to me the other day 'looks like he's found his level now', I responded 'Aye, the Champions League!' Didn't he * prove it tonight! I thought he was terrific, a good goal (which surely has to go down as his, it was going in), won everything in the air and really stretched the Barca defence. Losing him was a big blow and who knows, maybe we would have got something had he not gone off. Hopefully it's not as bad as it looked, looked at first like a broken ankle the way he went over on it.

 

I remember you in particular not being his, ahem, biggest fan. :icon_mrgreen:

But hey, we all make mistakes!

EDIT: And for the record that's 4 goals in 4 consecutive European away games. Even Henrik never did that! (I think)

 

On both Uefa and SSN websites he's been credited with the goal.

 

Exactly this. We needed someone to take the pressure off and there's nobody more capable of that in the current squad than Samaras. We really lost our main threat going forward.

 

Any news on the extent of his injury?

 

Celtic Underground said Lenny thought 10-12 days and could be back for home match v Barca but someone else has said it could be 8-10 weeks

 

6 games in Europe this season... 4 goals. 4 away goals.

Invaluable.

 

3 assists as well.

That's a great return from Samaras.

Or to use one of your words........."Astonishing" :icon_mrgreen:

 

You know I never use that in real life

 

Can just imagine you using it in the pub - "Just look at the astonishing pair of bussoms on that mesmerizing beauty old chap!"

 

We need him for the home game.

 

Weird that, I read myself back on here on this sometimes and think, what a *. I think it's because I need to e-mail a lot in my work

 

Same here mate.

My fingers speak more eloquently than my mouth

 

that's what she said!

 

big Sammy could play for the likes of barca if the big * sorted his self out, and I believe he would be an asset for them, but the big man is like a rabbit under a lamp at times he has loads of skill and did not look under any pressure out there
a good sign but he will not lay the ball of for himself to get a better returned ball while in on attack IF only he would make the pass to give himself room to get on a better ball.

 

Can we keep the thread on Topic Please.

 

hope the big man makes a quick recovery, but the way i seen it on the box, it did not look to good, but i hope it is only bruising that he has and is back within the week,

 

cant belive the difference in the player some praise most go to lenny for getting more out of him and giving him his confidence back either that or lance armstrong been giving him some pep pills, no well done sammy hope your back soon.
