Raul Jimenez @ Fulham Football Club

Sounds like something @Hugo Sanchez would say lol

 

Raúl Jiménez started his Premier League career with a vital goal for Wolves, a very good header.

Decent display overall, liked his movement, and played a few good passes to supporting attackers. Missed a one v one though and lost too many duels.

dat obsession.



Raul's gonna have a good first season. His team need to step it up against chelski/Arse/spuds/City/United or they'll get ragdolled.

 

I mean really the rivalry is a bit dead at this junction.

So what's the concern?

 

Wolves fans seem really positive on Raul. Here's a sample post from their forum:

"Bennett, Neves and Jimenez all very good today but major improvement needed elsewhere.

Jimenez MOTM quality play and a cracking goal."

Good points. I thought Raul was doing so-so up until his goal. He seemed to be struggling against Everton who played more than half the time with 10 men. I found Leo Bonatini to be more in tune with the team TBH. It's not going to be an easy season for Raul.

 

Raul as MOTM might be a little too flattering IMO. Neves scored an sumptuous FK and delivered the cross leading to Raul's goal, so I would pick him instead.

 

Agreed.

 

Raul has a good Premier League debut and you come here with this negativity, smh.

 

Desafortunadamente siempre va a haber personas que tratan de encontrar algo negativo donde no lo hay. Triste, muy triste.

 

Some fans love to hype up any Mexican player and then get all crazy when the NT fails to meet their unrealistic expectations. I don't. Raul scored 1 goal against a side down to 10 men in home game, against one of their direct rival in the EPL team. Given the circumstances, he had a decent performance nothing more nothing less. Now if you want to believe he'll be the next ballon d'or recipient, I'll let you have it.

 

You're still here?

 

Mexicans are the most ridiculous fans

 

Fixed......? [emoji23]

 

My sincere apologies, I never knew Raul had your heart. I shall never speak inconsiderately about him again out of respect for your feelings

 

They're just yanking your chain, pepe. None of us here really think he had a historically great performance. But he did do very well, and we're just happy for a fellow paisa.

 

Naw, excuses for why he did well are even worse than excuses for when a player doesn’t do well.

 

Anyone have a clip of the one on one he missed? I must’ve been taking my morning sh!t when that happened.

 

Dat Vela chip @ 1:35

 

And how many World Cup trophies have the past 10 years of ballon d'or recipients won?

 

<sigh>

 

Trust the left

He would’ve slotted it, no problem

 

That was a great run by Raul.

 

Yeah, I was like "This is it!" when watching live. I was sorely disappointed when he didn't use his left.
