Hall must be turbo shit if he can’t get a game ahead of him like. Ritchie is absolutely finished as a footballer, offers the sum of fuck all. Looking forward to us getting players back where we don’t have to look to him as an option. This season has been utterly insane with injuries like, it’s crazy.

Crazy player to be scapegoating 


No one is saying it’s his fault that he’s shit. Or that he was chiefly to blame. The decision to give him a full half of football is indefensible thought. He literally can’t contribute.

Contributed about as much as anyone else still.

Like much of the promotion team should've been shipped out in 2018. Indictment on the previous regime but giving him an extension was odd.

 

Even more bizarre is the persistence of bringing him on with Hall sitting on the bench every week. Do not understand it at all.

It's not that it's not his fault that he's shit, it's that he wasn't in any way uniquely shit, or even really shit at all. He did what he was supposed to do as part of our park the bus approach and had a fine pen well saved.

 

The approach, Trippier's mistake and pen miss, Wilson's shit forward play, and every forward player misplacing passes that should have broken their lines, all come way before any finger pointing at Ritchie.

 

It's clear that defensively Howe doesn't trust Hall yet, even as much as Ritchie. Why that is, who knows.

Nothing against Ritchie at all but seeing him come on is a dispiriting feeling 


The fact he’s still here - can barely run AND gets in ahead of Hall who is supposedly our future is truly shocking 

 

Howe should never be bringing him on

Don't think it's odd. We cannot replace everyone of our squad players that leaves without it hurting our starting 11. He's an excellent influence in the squad as well, seems ideal to have someone like that.

 

We won't know about Hall...surely has to do with us not wanting him any more so trying not to hit the parameters of the deal that make it happen.

 

Ritchie wouldn't be near so many minutes if we didn't hit such an insane injury crisis either.

Needs putting down. 

 

The decision to give him a new deal when it was suggested he's essentially backroom staff now was hard enough. 

 

But to see him getting substantial minutes this season in crucial games for us is too much. 

 

Without even mentioning Hall, there has to be someone in the academy that can atleast run who we should be promoting instead. What happened to that Diallo that was on the bench a few times?

 

We played with 10 men against Man U when he played there and I won't here any different. He got no where near a player or the ball in that game and it was the same thing tonight. 

 

To those saying he "did his job". Just rewatch the few minutes leading up to the goal again. Yes it's Trippiers fault ultimately. But Ritchie is no where near closing down the crosses from that side at any point. 

 

It reminds me of that famous Ali dia video where he is running around like a competition winner never getting close to  the ball or the opposition.

Does a lot of pointing to imaginary farm animals too [emoji38]
