triggs Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 There’s probably 7 or 8 players in our squad that need replacing before Ritchie. A real leader on the pitch too, him organising the defence in the first half when Lascelles was down If you are happy with wingers who are good defenders who regularly go weeks without doing anything and then blaming Atsu when he has to do everything like everyone else seems to then sure. But i personally i don't like rewarding mediocrity. I wouldn't go as far as you in that I think Ritchie is very good on the ball when he gets the ball in good positions but I agree with you on Atsu. Its much harder to do what Atsu does than what Ritchie does when they get the ball on say the half way line. Atsu runs at them trying to drive the team forward and Ritchie just keeps the ball and hopes someone else gets it up the pitch. Now obviously its not his fault he doesn't have the pace to do it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Again he's the last of our problems. Dunno Striker and AM aside he's pretty far up the list, i have never understood the fanfare around him personally. He's basically a 2nd fullback and contributes fuck all going forward. Atsu aside he's just as irrelevant offensively as everybody else tbh, one thing i do like about him however is he doesn't treat the football like a grenade like most of the team. I don't think we should discuss football tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 I like Ritchie. Definitely one of our better players and least of our worries. Could've scored twice and had an assist today with a bit of luck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 I like both him and Jonjo, but fucking hate when they try cute stuff at set pieces. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 He is bang average, as is our entire midfield outside of Merino. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 In open play he’s very very average. His ability from deadballs makes him one of our best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 In open play he’s very very average. His ability from deadballs makes him one of our best. I'm not saying he's great, but he's definitely one of the least of our worries at the moment. I mean, he's bang average from open play but still seems to be close to scoring or assisting every game. He's dangerous and he's good with set pieces. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 He's not very good mind. Crossing is poor at the moment. Couple of good corners in our little run of wins early in the season apart, I don't know what's he's contributed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

UncleBingo Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 As someone pointed out on twitter he was bawling at Yedlin despite hanging him out to dry. Bad day for him Noticed that too today. Needs to get his act together. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
binnsy Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 he was horrific today, his defending for the first goal was a disgrace, he stopped and appealed for offside inside of tracking his man and then blamed Yedlin and then amazingly let that left back bomb past him again for the 2nd goal and for the 4t or 5th game as offered us nothing going forward.

Guest neesy111 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Just watched the first goal again I genuinely can not believe he tried to claim offside there. Aye, I was flabbergasted what he was doing for that goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
themanupstairs Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 He knows he has no competition for his place, so he isn't even trying. Been woeful the last few games. I'd cash in on him as soon as the season is over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordie_b Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Glad he is finally getting called out. Didnt impress me last season and has been a passenger based on reputation this season. Whilst he does put a shift in he is always the first person to point the finger or in todays case just point in general. He is far from the biggest issue right now but i wouldnt have him anywahere near the first 11 if we were wanting to progress Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
