A lot of people were arguing Janmaat was better than Debuchy last season tbf. FWIW I'm not saying Janmaat is better or worse than Danny Simpson (or Debuchy), he's been horrible bar a handful of decent attacking displays this season. I just think this conversation is pretty daft given Leicester have been a complete anomaly.

So fuck, as an all round full back he's bang average if that. Let's all try and look git clever by saying we were wrong for rightfully fucking him off in favour of the infinitely better Debuchy though.

No I wouldn't, even when he was here I always thought his weakness was going forward, not defending. He's still fairly ordinary but he's solid which means he can form part of a solid defence. Janmaat is defensively unreliable so he wouldn't be part of a successful defence. At least not the way he's performed for us. His weakness here was obviously going forward but that's pretty irrelevant as we were also tragic at the defending lark too, no better or worse than we are now. He hardly covered himself in consistent glory. Not a single person realistically thought Jamie Vardie, Wes Morgan, Rob Huth, Danny Simpson, Danny Drinkwater and Marc Albrighton would form the majority of a title winning Premiership team, it's beyond comprehension. I don't think you can say with any conviction that Daryl Janmaat either improves or weakens that side had he been there from the start. You can say that for pretty much any player in the Premiership tbh. 7 of the players in their starting XI were nearly relegated last season ffs

You'd have said the same thing about Danny Simpson (or any other player in the world for that matter) 8 months ago.

They're an advert for keeping things simple like, something we cannot really do because we have about 40 attacking midfielders for some reason.

Steven Taylor takes backing off to the next level like, 4-5 times in the past 3 games he's had a centre forward running at him and he's led them from about 40 yards out to the end of his 18 yard line.

Janmaat and Taylor are equally as poor at present if not worse... Aye I completely agree, we're just shit though. Janmaat would look a lot better if he was playing for Leicester than he does here.

Aye, even the two Taylor's were solid for the fist dozen games or so that season. I think he'd be a total mess if he was in this squad now like.

That Benfica pass though

People were hardly wrong at the time like Him and Williamson in defence next to each other was an eyesore and he'd probably be no better than Janmaat if he was still here.

Loads reluctantly stated that they liked him but thought it was the right decision to get rid due to him being a fat waster and pointing to his previous run-ins with managers.

That couple must be unbearable like, I'd be surprised if the lad wasn't punching well above his weight.

I thought his 2 pop shots were fine personally, he's scored them before. He can be frustrating but a striker who's afraid to have a go is even worse. His 2 headed attempts were pretty fucking great tbh.

He's usually looked fine at RB but that was probobaly the single worst individual performance I can remember yesterday. Jarvis completely destroyed him.

He does that thing Ben Arfa used to do, only he keeps on running and ends up on the other wing for some reason.

Ann Frank probably felt better as she was being dragged through a bookcase by her hair. New thread theme.

We give them away for stupid reasons as well, what's the point in just pushing a player over when he's 50 yards from goal, standing on the touchline and facing his own half.

I'll drink to that.

Does he have kids?

I hope his ma gets hit by a bus.

I thought he looked like Cisse, he's still our best goal threat despite being a total fucking lunatic.

What was he like for Mbakani's strike? I was pretty much watching the game through a jar of Vaseline so couldn't really tell.

This lot, I probably would have said Pardew if I was in better spirits but I really cannot be fucking arsed for with their shite patter.

It's not often you read this mind.
