I have A problem, with a s**** manager who appears to want to play certain people despite them not being fit to play in this league, or playing somone in preference to a player who was our best outfield performer last season.
I never said Duff was undroppable, i said that idiot Roeder has played a poor Duff ahead of a better player before, and i think he would again.
NM - As I've said to monkey who doesn't get it, young players who have a season like Zog did last year often fade in their second full season. It can really set them back because the reaction of some fans ignorant to this can undermine their confidence. In the games Zog did play before his injury he didn't do too well for whatever reason, backing up the point I'm trying to make.
When he's fit I'd bring him back slowly, which we can do if Duff is also fit, but I wouldn't be expecting a great amount from him and people should give him time. I posted about this last summer before the season even started.
Had everyone been fit bringing in Duff would have allowed Zog to be eased through his second full season without the pressure of playing every game, this is the best way to bring young players along imo. It's just unlucky that it hasn't worked out that way due to circumstances.
Yeah a bit of second season syndrome.
I felt he was redisocvering his for before the injury a Chelsea though.
