Raul Jimenez was a force. One of the most complete strikers before his injury. Big, strong, could bully you, could score goals for fun, great hold up play. Reminded me of a Prime Diego Costa.
@@dabbigailwilliams the most important thing is, he could get goals. There was no doubt about his ability in front of the goal. And he also played w a smile on his face.
Finished L tri striker now. Pexico fans and coaches always disrespected him at his prime. They still do with santi. They’re only talent💀. Still pick shitty liga Mx payers over premier league players.
He really wasn't. After the way in which Coady behaved behind the scenes we treated him very well. If it was up to me I would have marched him out of the club on the spot.
I absolutely love Conor Coady. I live in Wolves and frequently went to home games. He was always the last man off the pitch applauding the fans win draw or lose. TOP MAN.
When Jimenez was at his best I think he was 2nd or 3rd best number 9 in the league at the time. He could do everything, sometimes they'd just boot the ball up to him and he'd manage to control it then hold it up for 10 seconds 1v3 till his team got up the pitch, unreal player

He was so immense for the Mexican national team. There has been a real drop-off for the whole team since Rauls injury. It actually has allowed the US to get so good these past couple years
On 9/9/2011, I captained Molde FK against Conor Coady & Liverpool in the NexGen series. I had the privilege to play at THE historic Anfield…(they thrashed us 4-0). On the date, Liverpool started Coady, Raheem Sterling, Suso, and Andre Wisdom (to name a few). Liverpool were class hosts. Wolfsburg and Sporting Lisbon were the other two sides in our group. Conor has probably forgotten the occasion given his prestigious career, but as a Yank abroad, it was one of the most surreal and remarkable days of my life.
What’s your name? I’m also american did you rep us? I respect you for going to europe. More of our players should of done it back then! Edit: after I quick google search I realized you were released by molde in 2013. Did anything happen after that? This is actually real what he’s saying. Very interesting story and glad that it happened to you
Absolute rubbish. David Luiz did nothing more than compete for a header in the way that hundreds of players do every season. Occasionally a player is seriously injured. Occupational risk.
That 4-0 win was one of the best games and I’ll always remember the constant stick we gave to Foster and you could quite clearly see how it effected his every move in the game. Hated Foster as a player in games but absolutely love him outside of football and as a person 🤣
@@nf-ol5ge Tell me how it’s nonsense🤣 you think Jota would rather have continued to play for Wolves? Second the offer came in for him he’d have jumped on it immediately without hesitation
@@nf-ol5ge Difficult to keep a player once an offer comes in from a club like Liverpool. For many players it's a once in a lifetime opportunity and they wouldn't be happy if the club didn't let them go provided a reasonable fee was agreed. No sense keeping an unhappy player. I'm a Liverpool fan and we've had that with Barca. Nothing good came of trying to stop it. It's not as if Wolves (the club, not the fanbase) are particularly loyal to their players - Coady got shunted right quick.
That era for us was unreal, coady was the pinical of what we were. Raul, neves, motinho, saiss. They all made the time special. The Watford game at Molinuex was FUNNY! Fair play to Foster though, took it on the chin, secretly he loved it!
It wasn't just the Wo1ve5 was it Ben? It was the time wasting you would always do against us. Oh and the beautiful Neves assist you described as a "hoof" at Vicarage Road.
Watching from South Africa, glad you did that wrexham stint, we needed to see you protect the line one more time. It was worth it, and welcome back to normal crazy life
Coady is dead to me after the way in which he behaved the scenes. Good riddance to the shouty man. Shouty man on the pitch and unfortunately a shouty man off it, which ultimately was his own downfall. You can't act and mouth off at people in the manner Coady did and expect to stay at the club.
Honest opinion, i dont think he should be playing football anymore. Its obvious hes nowhere near his best and hes bringing his team down. Sad, just facts i like the guy i think hes a good person.
Should ask what’s it like to ruin your career leaving a team that’s backed ya since day one to join a side that was destined for the relegation battle to simply end up in the championship
As much stick as Foster gets when he is against the Wolves, i really do like the guy and respect him as a quality keeper! Just banter! Love the podcasts and love how down to earth you are! Keep it up lad (Wolves Fan)
The reason some are using their head is because the ball has been (intentionally) passed to them by their teammate, a keeper isn’t allowed to touch the ball with his hands in that case, if he does then it’s a free kick from wherever the keeper was when he touched the ball to the other team
Remember being at the semi final and when Jota and Neves went off i said to my dad this is a hell of risk to take them off as they bossed that game for us.
His reputation was tarnished after the events that led to his departure and even after Everton didn't take up their option there was no way that he was ever going to come back. He was a horrid individual behind the scenes.

so skilful too. Good with his feet and great in the air

He was our leader, and we haven’t replaced him. The man was a legend, and got treated crap buy us.🐺
absolute gem of a guy aswell
He really wasn't. After the way in which Coady behaved behind the scenes we treated him very well. If it was up to me I would have marched him out of the club on the spot.
Jota, Raul and Adama were such a good attack tor wolves. Im a united fan but back then they were so fun to watch. Shame that it had to end so fast
Ever since that terrible injury he unfortunately became a shadow of himself. Hopefully he can find some form again.

Hearing English speak about Raul like this is giving me goosebumps makes me so proud thank you
👍🏻🐺
Rarely comment on TH-cam videos but had to drop one for this podcast. Listened on Spotify and it was one of the best ones 👊🏾 what a guy Coady is
David Luiz needs to be in jail.
I can still hear the noise from the collision. I’ve never watched it back.
Love Raul and Conor. Should have kept both players in my opinion 🐺
He was so immense for the Mexican national team. There has been a real drop-off for the whole team since Rauls injury. It actually has allowed the US to get so good these past couple years
Bollox Mexico have never been that great
Mexico and USA are both ass. Jimenez plays no part in it either lmao
@@Tomtomjamesonwe were that good
no way! he had glimpses like that bicycle kick but he never had the same link up like he did with wolves so he never really thrived
He’s never consistently played well for Mexico
In every single interview I’ve seen coady comes across as a top guy, what a man to have in the dressing room
Unfortunately that was far from the case, and it was his own behaviour and ill-discipline that led to his departure.

Amazing episode ❤ Huge Jimenez fan as well. Glad he was able to recover
I was at that Watford game and actually felt sorry for Foster. It was bullying at the highest level
I didn't feel bad. One of the funniest days of my life watching him get rattled by us and put one on a plate for podence to score 😂😂😂
Sticks & stones. He's a big boy
It’s just pantomime. Don’t be soft calling it bullying 😂
Let's be honest although it's tragic this injury ruined raul jimenez's career poor guy

Very off topic but What’s up with nicknames that doesn’t even shorten the name?? Coady is even easier to say than Coads lol

I was at Wembley for that semi final and remember looking at the clock at 77 minutes thinking we are hanging on. Horrible day 😂
Vamoss Jimenez ‼️🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🧡
After that injury. Omg. Wolves were doomed
You can tell how much the club really meant for coady, the enthusiasm he has whenever talking about wolves. Best captain I've ever seen
Wish you'd just upload full videos here. Being forced to listen to the fucking pepsi max adverts on a premium subscription is a piss take.
Why was Conor in the England squad 8 months ago and now deemed not good enough for the premier league.
Raul jimenez was one of the best strikers in the world before the injury , glad he’s on the mend !
Lmfao no he wasn’t. To say he was one of best in the world is insane

I was in the Steve Bull Lower near Foster when we beat them 4-0…it was relentless 😂
That moment marked the end of Wolves. It was the last time that management tried to compete.
HE-MEN-EZ

Miss you skipper 🥲.. Hope to see you back in molineux one day wearing the old gold.
Conor il be honest with ya Coady
Cracking pod ben! ❤
Jota was the start of wolves slide when he went
What a team we had under Nuno with our captain Coady. Now we're just 💩
Should have beat united. Nunes Mateus will be a big loss if he goes great player
1:30 When you get home and head to your dark room to slide it into the missus but forgot your mate was staying over instead
he will never be the same sadly sucks man cuz he was mexican like me and i was rooting for him .
Is Jimenez anywhere close to the same player now?? I’ve not seen enough of him recently ! He could’ve played for a top European team at one point !!!!
He’s not been the same after his injury
He is slowly gettin his form back
Most underrated player in the world .
Watching from South Africa, glad you did that wrexham stint, we needed to see you protect the line one more time. It was worth it, and welcome back to normal crazy life
i was at the game when you were bantered and we were brutal to you 😭
Conor’s got one of those real scouse accents, not like those fake ones you can’t understand 😅
Funny because he’s from St Helens
Which is still Merseyside isn't it? It's not just a Liverpool accent.
Hes got an old school scouse accent like from the 70’s/80’s .a really nice accent in my opinion.
Mackems are from Sunderland
Coady is dead to me after the way in which he behaved the scenes. Good riddance to the shouty man. Shouty man on the pitch and unfortunately a shouty man off it, which ultimately was his own downfall. You can't act and mouth off at people in the manner Coady did and expect to stay at the club.
Honest opinion, i dont think he should be playing football anymore. Its obvious hes nowhere near his best and hes bringing his team down. Sad, just facts i like the guy i think hes a good person.
'scoring goals hardest job in the world' pretty sure the hardest job in football would be GK - impossible to argue otherwise
Cmon Coady, Enzo needs you fit
It’s sad to see that people blame David luiz for this injury. It was a complete accident yet people act like he hit him on purpose
Should ask what’s it like to ruin your career leaving a team that’s backed ya since day one to join a side that was destined for the relegation battle to simply end up in the championship
Yes i know hes not from Liverpool but hes from mersyside. This is a nice scouse accent not like the kids you hear now with the scatty accent.
i remember the noise, honestly the only time I have felt sick watching football
As much stick as Foster gets when he is against the Wolves, i really do like the guy and respect him as a quality keeper! Just banter! Love the podcasts and love how down to earth you are! Keep it up lad (Wolves Fan)
I’ve always wanted to see this duo Ben n Conor 😎😎 they have the same personality,
fun,😜😉focus, 🧐 chatty 😵🥴lol 🤣
What do you think, scrap extra time, and go straight to penalties?
I'm a WBA fan and the missus Wolves, we both agree it was bullying but also deserved 😂
i remember watching it live, the cracking noise still haunts me
Conor’s a top lad. Glad the Wolves support affected you so much Foz, serves you right.

It was like petr cech’s. Both brutal
Remember being at the semi final and when Jota and Neves went off i said to my dad this is a hell of risk to take them off as they bossed that game for us.
Loved Conor coady I was hoping he’d stay with us after Everton he’ll always be a wolves legend
His reputation was tarnished after the events that led to his departure and even after Everton didn't take up their option there was no way that he was ever going to come back. He was a horrid individual behind the scenes.
