Typical. Give Jap a game and you end up with 3 pks...

 

Good interview after his PK to win the game.

 

Here are the highlights with his PK at the 10:00 mark of the video.

 

Played 90 in Reading's goose egg draw with Birmingham and Spector, who also went 90.

 

His accent is interesting. He's only been in England for a few years but you can definitely hear the accent. It seems more British than German even

 

In my current and previous job I communicate on a daily basis with people from places like Germany, Poland, Finalnd, and Portugal in English and they all use British phrases and pronunciations when speaking.

 

I'd disagree a bit. I live in Germany, and this is one of the accents I'm very used to hearing, even at home (he sounds like my step son). TxT is correct, Germans use British phrasing so maybe that's it.

 

Like this guy ???

 

Starts again:

 

Starts against David Wagner-coached Huddersfield Town:

 

I guess Germans just have excellent English then

DWill posted a video on Instagram of a plane ticket to Miami.. Must be on the October roster! Finally JK gets the picture!

 

Called in

 

Oh great... 3 defensive mids.

 

I like him. He's a pretty nice player, better than plenty of Prem players

 

He was a CDM during his time in Germany, but Reading has made him more of a box-to-box CM, on occasion even a CAM.

 

I like Williams too - he's a bit of a plugger, but his hardworking style suits the US, I think.

I was just being snide about the posters who freaked out back in the day the few times Jurgie ran out Williams/Jones/Bradley and Williams/Bradley/Edu "He's playing 3 defensive midfielders!!!
But, of course, Williams is just a midfielder. Not exactly the most creative the soccer world has ever produced, but not exactly Ritchie Williams either.
I think, if we have enough speed and/or guile in spots with some combo of Demps/CP/Wood/Johnson and a good strong to the goal player like Jozy/Wood/AJ we can use a player like Williams. He's kind of a B-side Jones. And sadly Jones is unlikely to have a lot of gas left in his tank.

 

Totally agree. Williams is basically a poor man's Jermaine Jones, which is not a bad thing. He won't be as good as an in-prime JJ was, but he can still be useful.
