Alex Kral - signed on loan

Sounds like this is done.

At least some midfield competition.

Re: Alex Kral - signed on loan

Thought he struggled tbh but not exactly an easy debut especially when he’s come into a disjointed side that hadn’t played together and coming from a league that is nothing like our level.

Re: Alex Kral - signed on loan

Looked to me like he might need to add a bit of ballast to hold his own physically, but clearly not lack of effort, attitude or ability. Will be a good signing based on that outing.

Re: Alex Kral - signed on loan

Looked neat and tidy, not the quickest tho, decent first outing and has European football experience, which is a plus!

Re: Alex Kral - signed on loan

Looks like a good solid water carrier with lots of potential to improve. I'm so pleased to have some solid players in midfield...to think we went all those seasons without addressing the issue properly. Also Obiang was sold only to bring in Carlos Sanchez.

Sideshow really worked hard pressing and already showing he will be an asset to the squad. Nothing spectacular and will not have the goal threat of Soucek but based on last night it looks like Rice and Soucek and him can be rotated to spread the work load.

Sideshow bob was quality. Just as well, as I'm convinced he's Rice's replacement.

Noble was excellent as was Bowen

Re: Alex Kral - signed on loan

The pace of the game caught him out at first but he grew into it.

Made some great blocks/tackles in the second half.

Sure he will get better as time goes on just needs more game time.

Crassus 12:28 Thu Sep 23
Re: Alex Kral - signed on loan

I thought Nobes had a good game
Sure he is no gazelle but never has been
So with his inherent limitation, covered, blocked and screened well
Broke at the death too, could, should have scored having run half the length of the pitch

Re: Alex Kral - signed on loan

Nobel was fine, won the ball and gave it to a team mate.
Yes he's slow but played 90mins in central midfield in a 1-0 win at man u
Unfortunately certain retarded posters on here would call him shit what ever he does.

Re: Alex Kral - signed on loan

His touch was questionable at times but I thought both he and Noble played very well.

Re: Alex Kral - signed on loan

nobel just have been absolute dogshit, if you think kral was very poor

Lee Trundle 11:57 Thu Sep 23
Re: Alex Kral - signed on loan

I though he was our best midfielder. Didn't look at all leggy or gave away many (if any) stupid free kicks in dangerous positions.

Crassus 11:54 Thu Sep 23
Re: Alex Kral - signed on loan

Interesting what different people see
I thought he started very poor, off the pace, poor positionally and allowing their players to run by him
But this is not a Nordviet situation - he notably improved as the game progressed
It will take time to adjust but on balance that was a promising debut under difficult circumstances

ludo21 11:39 Thu Sep 23
Re: Alex Kral - signed on loan

Thought he looked better last night than he has when I've seen him playing for his national side. Hopefully he can get some game time, get used to the pace of English football and keep improving.

Come On You Irons 11:36 Thu Sep 23
Re: Alex Kral - signed on loan

Looks a decent player. Promising back up and a much better reserve option to Rice and Soucek than past it Noble.

AKA ERNIE 11:31 Thu Sep 23
Re: Alex Kral - signed on loan

Got better as the game went on, def a good prospect

Sniper 11:27 Thu Sep 23
Re: Alex Kral - signed on loan

Reminded me of soucek on his debut. Lots of running, not scared to get on the ball and didn’t panic. His passing wasn’t great but then he was trying to get it to Yarmolenko, Arthur, lanzini or an up top bowen whikstnalso covering for noble, whilst soucek normally has obvious out balls to bowen out wide, Antonio up top, fornals and benrahma

I thought he looked solid and composed in what was, at times, a very hectic game

southbankbornnbred 11:26 Thu Sep 23
Re: Alex Kral - signed on loan

That was a very good first game for him. Some people need to calm their expectations a little.

Not easy to come straight into a side playing away at Man Utd against their midfield. But he more than held his own. Sure, he kept the ball for too long on the odd occasion - but he's coming from a league that isn't as quick and where you can get away with that a little more often.

He'll learn - in fact, he seemed to remind himself of that during last night's game.

Here's hoping he's just like our two other Czechs and feels happy here and finds consistency. He's certainly got the talent.

slartibartfast 11:03 Thu Sep 23
Re: Alex Kral - signed on loan

I've followed him for a while, saw him play live a few times when he was at Teplice and Slavia over here.

He's a very good player with a high ceiling, but I think it'll take time, but it fortunately appears he has time to get used to the speed and what Moyes expects of him. He did quite well last night I thought, especially towards the end of the game.
