Only players who come here with genuine quality seem to survive landing on the scrapheap, but even they are never quite the same - see Cabaye.

Seymour Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 His workrate was really poor against Fulham, it really looked like he couldn't be bothered which I've never had that criticism of him before Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Against Fulham he looked frustrated about both the lack of quality behind him (3 defensive mids) and the leniency of the referee towards physical defending. The latter issue isn't going away anytime soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kasper Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 A month ago we had a great squad ready to storm the Championship and now there's maybe 3 or 4 decent players and everyone else is shit. One win and everyone will be wanking into their Ayoze pillowcases again. Same goes for most of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kasper Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I mean people are seriously talking about playing Gouffran and Riviere. That tells you everything about the mental health of this place at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Would put actual money on Gouffran having a better game than hes had in a while if he figures tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon25 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Not everyone here is a doom monger just because they say what they see. Most sensible folk realised before the season started, and before we started tonking pub teams in pre-season, that this squad was in the grand scheme of things still not particularly good. Those same folk probably also recognised that the Championship today is far more competitive than the last time we were down here - largely because of the money trickling down from the PL.

Alberto2005 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Still think he's one of our key players. Has to play. Fuck Riviere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubestationatmidnight Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I knew our squad was still not very good but I still don't think it's that much of a better league than last time. To think of the money we have blew over the last 5 year too. If we had spent even half that wisely we would of never been anywhere near relegation Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Against Fulham he looked frustrated about both the lack of quality behind him (3 defensive mids) and the leniency of the referee towards physical defending. The latter issue isn't going away anytime soon. One thing which really annoys me about flair players is when they give the ball away under pressure instead of drawing a foul. Ben Arfa was good at shielding the ball and Ritchie looks the same. Ayoze has been similar to Thauvin last season in handing the ball over too easy when he's challenged. The refs are blind it's true, but he's still not doing enough to protect possession. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The latter issue isn't going away anytime soon. The latter issue was his problem. He was rarely fouled, just muscled off the ball, like he was at the end of last season. Not sure if he's been sussed out or if he's lost the desire ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Please just put this guy on the left, at least for now. Ritchie on the right. Can't have him playing off the front man in this league. Getting bullied there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't have him playing off the front man in this league. Getting bullied there. Has never impressed particularly on the wing either and will run into similar issues where ever he is on the pitch, hes lightweight yes but he doesn't have the bottle and generally gives in on the physical battles, barely challenges for headers.
