You can't spend what we did on this guy and have him welded to the bench through the first half of the season. Yeah, people are going to assume he's garbage and be pretty pissed off about it. When you then take into account how drawn out the signing off him was, over numerous Windows it's even more irritating.

One thing I've noticed is that he's got a really flawed technique when striking the ball.  He falls over through the strike and has a tendency to pull it and lose loft. 

 

Otherwise I've been impressed.  Looks strong, quick and seemingly able to contribute in defence.

A few pages ago people were asking him to start the next game. Has looked like offering something completely different when he has played and played well, yet some traveling mongs have now changed the narrative from someone who has been criminally unused in a team crying out for width to "not fit to wear the shirt."

 

I for one need to see him given an extended run on the wing in our side before I can write him off like many have chosen to do.

Like I say, he picked the wrong game to flounce around in then pretending to be hurt, and certainly the wrong area of the pitch. It's not like the team came over at the end and clapped yet he was the only one who got booed.

 

It is harsh, and you don't want to see players and fans in spats, but this is now the situation we are in. If Thauvin is upset, he could maybe read a bit about whats gone on at this club the last few years. None of it to do with him, but absolutely the reason supporters are utterly fed up with everything regarding this football club... reactions like this will happen. If the season continues like this it won't only be Thauvin subjected to it either.

Never understood booing your own players unless they're really taking the piss like some have. I really don't see how it's going to help the lad improve. It's especially harsh since he's lived off a few 5-10 minute cameos when we're already behind in the past few months.

McLaren hardly helps his cause with the line "he's got a little knock so he's out" surely only going to fuel the 'Soft Frog' brigade.

 

:lol:

 

Why isn't that helping like? He might have a little knock. The type that could turn into a longer term problem if he's involved tonight.

 

Perhaps he should have said "Thauvin's had a massive knock, he'll be lucky to walk again" and then when he's back next week the 'Soft Frog' brigade will instantly fall in love with him.

Can't remember ever booing one of our own players myself but don't really have a problem with it depending on the circumstances. Fans pay a fortune to follow their team these days and if they think one of the players is taking the pi$$ out of them they're within their rights to let him know. It's something that's always happened. Remember when I first started going regularly the likes of Wayne Fereday and Kevin Brock used to get absolutely slaughtered at times and they were only being paid a few hundred quid a week for the privilege.

Don't see what Thauvin's done to even get close to being booed. He's hardly had a chance yet.

 

Agree! Not all players hit the ground running and some never take off.  Booing will only make the latter more likely.
