Minhosa Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 He's seemingly untouchable for some reason even though he is woeful the majority of the time. That's been the case for his whole time at NUFC. I think he's broadly done ok this season but his lack of footballing intelligence hinders his ability to have any sustainable impact on our team.

SUPERTOON Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Untouchable? He probably gets more stick than any of the other players. I mean from McClaren as in he can play as badly as he wants yet plays every minute of every game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's loads of ways to change the set up and not use Sissoko. It might give him the kick up the arse he needs for the Euros. He won't though. He's got no testicles.

themanupstairs Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Personally I would have hooked him at HT, put Colback LB, and pushed Aarons to play on the left with Townsend switching to the right. He really can't keep getting away with miserable performances. He's the only player we have who is almost certain to be at the Euros this summer, and he simply HAS to feel that his place in that french squad is under threat, otherwise he'll just not perform. Awful attitude. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Been hot and cold for a while and even when playing badly, he was still our only attacking threat and would create chances. For quite a while now, he has been absolute dog shite. His first touch and ability on the ball in tight spaces, is horrendous for a top flight footballer. Always just tries to run through people and can't cross for shit, either. He just looks so disinterested and tends to just go through the motions. When he was clean through the other night and let the defender get goal side of him I'd be tempted to drop him. But you could say that for half of the team and I don't even know who we'd replace him with? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

themanupstairs Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Shocking execution of a perfectly good one on one situation when through on goal, and shocking support for Wijnaldum in that second half counter attack. And that "cross" in the first half Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughesy Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 He does lack basic footballing skills - like being able to control the ball or be in control of it when he's running. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 He's undroppable and has been for years, as much as we like him Wijnaldum will probably be the same after 2 or 3 years of not being expected to perform. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Pinkman Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 He's quite clearly not a right winger, why the fuck do people keep playing him there? He doesnt have the discpline for a central role? Well drop him until he does. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 He's fine on the right wing more often than not though, his link up with Janmaat especially at home is one of the best things about us going forwards. Away from home we clearly need a new plan, I didn't think Wijnaldum was as bad as usual last night but neither him or Sissoko should be in the side away until we can start picking up points and come up with some kind of gameplan, they're pointless.
