I always said Eccles was a much better footballer than given credit for (I have mentioned that assist v Leeds that showed it). Good for him that he's contributing. Today's was an absolutely superb finish that he is probably unlikely to have been in position to have or actually executed 12 months ago.Reinventing himself under Lampard who clearly thinks he should be playing higher up the pitch. Another well taken goal today, and another Lampard-ism that few saw coming but makes more sense with each game.
Fair play to both, especially as Eccles had appeared to be out of favour last season.
It's funny really because he said something similar about Torp, as in the player's belief of his best position wasn't what he necessarily saw or wasn't the only position he could playInteresting to hear Lampard’s comments that he saw the attributes for Eccles to play a more advanced role, but the man himself disagreed and thought he was a 6. It looked an odd move at first but with each game it’s looking more like the right call.
CIt was a brilliant goal. Calm and placed it bottom corner from outside the box, made it look simple.
Sheaf used to put them in the car park.

Cheers Frank.Still think he could be quicker in his thought by a touch and a bit crisper in his hitting on the ball but always thought he has great vision and range. One of his best games for us today I thought. Took his goal really well and if Rudi wasn’t desperate to score would probably have had another if it had been squared.
what’s the analogy?The laughable analogy
Always had it In his locker I mean we as fans were speculating where he'd end up, Stoke or Boro?I always said Eccles was a much better footballer than given credit for (I have mentioned that assist v Leeds that showed it).

I guess when you have an ex player like Lampard talking and showing confidence in you you tend to sit up and take noticeIt's funny really because he said something similar about Torp, as in the player's belief of his best position wasn't what he necessarily saw or wasn't the only position he could play
Love the way Eccles collected the ball, looked up, picked his spot, then just nonchalantly passed the ball into the net.
Top draw finish.
Yep praise indeed was thinking it was Torp that scoredHim and Torp are very good finishers.
You could argue Eccles doesn't score enough but I think he'd put that right with a run in the team.
Thought that one was a tough chance to be fair.Sweet goal yesterday. Missed that header off target in the week though being critical
