West Ham have a 58% win rate when Pablo starts - What does this tell US about his importance?

A coincidence? Or is he actually underrated?

Like what you said about Billy Bonds and Pablo who's habit's are annoying, but effective, he's a cross between Andy Malcolm and Nobby Styles, a splendid fellow and a offbeat Hammer ⚒️

I love him, reminds ne of the late great Billy Bonds with his work rate and viking look. I predict he will become a fan favourite!

terrynorwood249463w ago

If Nuno thinks Pablo is fantastic and and an amazing player he ought to be breathalysed before he picks the team !

dantowen819513w ago

Let’s hope he hasn’t got into the whisky early tonight 🤣

I’m still waiting for him to actually win a header against an opponent when the balls played up to him…also to actually control it and play it at least to one of our players and I would like to see him make a proper tackle and not just run upto an opponent and needlessly push him in the back.

Awful footballer. Pure coincidence. The sooner he’s gone the better. I cannot believe we paid £20m for him 🤯

dantowen819513w ago

That fee is insane 😂sometimes I watch his goals in Portugal and wonder if we didnt sign his twin brother

grahamwatts3w ago

He reminds of Ticker Boyce in our best ever team in the 60s. You only noticed Ronnie when he wasn't playing!

cumberworth573w ago

Ron Boyce was a class footballer something Pablo is not! He reminds me more of Marco Boogers

cookie2704813w ago

Hold on. I’ve had 71% win rate, then 63% win rate, now 58% win rate.

dantowen819513w ago

Blame me for that, maths was not my strong point 😂

What Pablo does for us now is what Mikey Antonio did more effectively for us for years. Sorry to say I'm not convinced. I'd have gone for Ellis Simms

antonymmartin843w ago

Pablo is nothing like Micky.he used to stretch the back line and was a nightmare for opposing centre halves. Pablo shouldn’t be anywhere near a championship team

cumberworth573w ago

You can’t compare Pablo to Antonio, his first touch was poor but he was super aggressive and gave the centre backs a torrid time, my son in law played under Devonshire at Braintree and Maidenhead and he’s better

jamesshearman233w ago

Just a coincidence! I’ve had the displeasure of watching him with my own eyes. Not sure he’d look all that in my 6 a side league

dantowen819513w ago

Haha he’s definitely the least coordinated footballer I’ve seen in a while 😂

cumberworth573w ago

He’s not good enough, we win in spite of him playing, just don’t see a player there and I’d loved to be proved wrong but you’ve only got to look at his contributions in a game which amount to virtually nothing, we gained control last night once he went off because the ball wasn’t coming straight back.

dantowen819513w ago

I definitely agree that he’s not good enough. The way I see it, he’s never going to be the player we want him to be, but he does have his uses - it’s just handy the one thing he can do benefits the likes of Bowen and Taty quite nicely

hfhgvmstws3w ago

👏👏👏

jordan.harris3w ago

Am I being harsh assuming it would be at least 80% if he wasn’t starting those same games 😂

dantowen819513w ago

We just have to take the rough with the smooth. He’s never, ever going to score, but he is probably also a big reason why Bowen, Mukasa and Taty have started the season with a few goals as Nuno says, Pablo is the facilitator for our more gifted players

jamesshearman233w ago

Is he even good at facilitating though?
