Beren Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Someone else said in the match thread - at times it looks like he wishes he wasn't out there. It's why he spends more time appealing for decisions, than playing the game. Nice left-footed cross though. Really not happy with him at RB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 No doubt I'm in the minority but I thought he was OK and helped us win the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 He actually played very well in parts, and if you didn't watch him every week, you'd probably think he was good. The issue is, when you do watch him every week, you just know he's a liability at some point in every game. So much came down his side today it was embarrassing. Granted, he'll not play a Bale every week but he's out stand out weakness and we've got to shuffle him out sooner rather than later. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbers Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 f***ing liability again. Hasn't a clue where he should be on the pitch, their equaliser (although offside) was down to him being miles out of position. Get rid and play Harper there if we don't sign anyone, he would do a better job. What garbage. Educate me as to where i am wrong excluding the sarcastic part. In fact watch the goal again and tell me where he was in the lead up? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tisd09 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 No doubt I'm in the minority but I thought he was OK and helped us win the game. I agree. Defensively Santon looked just as dodgy. He's just not a player that will help us progress. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shak Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Think people are just frustrated that he's still the best RB we have. He's by far and away the weakest link in our best eleven, it'll be very annoying if we don't replace him before the window closes. Was a standard Simpson performance today. Didn't do anything particularly awful, but he's just not good enough IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats why I like Simpson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Nice to have a lot of balanced comments, seems with a few there HAS to be one player to slate and with a team full of likeable characters Simpson being quite the confident chap he gets the stick.

Guest Howaythetoon Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 No doubt I'm in the minority but I thought he was OK and helped us win the game. Agreed, slightly. This was a typical average Simposn type performance. Extremely iffy on the ball mind, especially bringing it out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alberto2005 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 He's still poor imo. We need better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginola Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 He wasn't nearly as bad as some are making out. He definitely had a hard time of it against Bale early on but did better as the game went on imo. We should be looking for a replacement as he is the weakest player in our first XI, but until we do he's certainly capable of playing the position.

alexf Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Wasn't terrible. Played well in the majority but it was more of the same from him, poor positioning for the goal and weak offensively. We would get by fine with him there should we need to but if we want to improve then he needs to be replaced. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 No doubt I'm in the minority but I thought he was OK and helped us win the game. I agree. Not deserving of the disproportionate amount of criticism he receives. Bale was pretty ineffective all day. We start to win football games and challenge the top teams and all of sudden Simpson is expected to be Ashley Cole going forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbers Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Anyone care to explain to me where he was in the lead up to the equaliser where they had 4 miles of space to run into? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
