George Bailey Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 if there was anyone to have a go at yesterday, it was Perez and Wijnaldum. but there fan favourites so it wouldnt happen. Ahh but its different when your fans favourite player does it. So many hypocrites in our support. Are they really hypocrites or just giving a player who sometimes produces more slack than one that doesn't? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 If I'd made the 4 hour journey down and witnessed a player perform some amateur dramatics while 1-0 down in a cup game, I'd probably be fairly miffed anarl. No one's telling you to travel four hours in the first place. If you're thick and clueless about the game stay at home and watch Blyth Spartans.

Blyth were away at the weekend or I'd have been there Don't know what is so hard to comprehend about it, if you don't want to watch Thauvin then why the fuck would you travel four hours to London when you could stay in the north east and watch a local team?

sh74 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 If i remember rightly Hugo Viana got booed onto the pitch at home and it proved to be the final nail in the coffin,he left the club shortly after. Could have the same scenario with Thauvin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 How is this even a discussion? Fans' favourites tend to be fans' favourites because they've done something worthwhile in the shirt, of course they're going to get more slack. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collage Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Let's make the young French lad who hasn't been given a proper chance (but still shown that he's talented IMO) the scapegoat So f***ing absurd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Banaloona Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Then what has Thauvin done to earn "slack" from the fans? Absolutely nothing. Can't be asserting that there are hypocrites in our support without giving an example of a fan favourite and a time when they've feigned injury like Thauvin allegedly did yesterday.

Ahh but its different when your fans favourite player does it. So many hypocrites in our support. Name a fans favourite who has done what Thauvin allegedly did? Tbf Perez did something similar (going down and staying down for no reason when the match carried on) at Bournemouth in front of the away fans, and tbf he got pelters off most the fans for it and all- and he'd already scored what turned out to be the only goal of the game!!! Suppose the big difference is we weren't desperate for an equaliser with 3 minutes left at the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuy_O Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 He's not really being made a scapegoat though is he. The fans are completely pissed off and he's bore the brunt of their frustration by acting like a complete tart. It's not his fault our stupid policy brought him to the club, and he's not to blame for everything thats gone on here, but the away support yesterday decided he isn't fit for purpose, and if we're being honest he probably isn't.

How many foreign players of his type have looked hopeless in their first season in England only to become stars later on? It's just plain ignorant.

Difference is of course that most others clubs are in a position where a little patience can be afforded. This club is fresh out of that. Honestly, if he's completely useless and rolls around in front of the supporters, it's not a surprise he gets some stick. Like I said before, it isn't singling him out for the teams problems, it's an exponential frustration among supporters that he extracted out with stupid antics, at a time when we need the polar opposite of what he currently provides.

number9shirt Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Thauvin is not the problem it's what he represents the failed transfer policy, Carr's disastrous scouting & insistence on buying him, the fact we have seen Cabella come & go. Plus that one of the most naturally talented players we ever saw Hatem Ben Arfa was forced out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's baffling why we don't just appoint a French/foreign manager to actually go with the system in place. Having Pardew as manager was idiotic in the extreme, especially with his treatment of HBA, MYM and Abeid. Cabaye was a Pardew type, hard work and suited to English football with a bit of extra quality. JFK couldn't have fucked him up to be honest. Then to appoint farmer face, ok he's worked abroad but ffs his record tells you he's not good enough. We're a joke of our own making despite ample chances to change direction.
