I really hope Joselu's the one to score the goal that keeps us up, like. I know a lot of people don't agree, but I think it would be well-deserved after the stick he's had.

 

:lol: The only ‘stick’ Joselu has had, is people rightly commenting on his terrible performances.

 

Such a weird statement.

 

Wrong. The criticism of performances is absolutely fair enough, he's not a very good player. The problem is with the abuse that's been levelled directly at him by fans when he's fucked up, despite us as a group of supporters insisting that the only thing we ask for is a 'club/team that tries' - when as far as I can tell his effort's not in question - and Ashley being the entire reason we have a player of his known quality at all in the first place. 

 

...and aye, it's proper weird to want one of our players to redeem themselves. Players like Sibierski, Perch, Shola, Jonas, Gouffran  etc turning it around or partly turning it around never happened, they're all still universally hated.

 

 

 

It was the same with Diame before his up-turn in form.

I'm not sure about that. A lot of his movments look lethargic and lacking energy. Sticks a lazy leg at quite a few challenges. I certainly wouldn't say he's a workhorse.

 

:thup:

 

Cant say I’ve notice large amounts of personal abuse towards him either, fans have been largely supportive of him in the stadium and the only comments I’ve noticed on here are tongue in cheek or about his performances.

My thoughts exactly :thup:

 

His performances haven't been terrible either, his finishing has, but not his general play.

Is Ritchie the only player we've got who can take a pen?  :lol:

 

I'd bank on Shelvey & Kenedy from the spot like.

 

I'm sure Shelvey that had a shocker of a pen vs Hull last season.

Sure Shelvey took an awful one against Hull in the cup.

You're probably right, I can't quite remember the pens from that game. I was just thinking him & Kenedy have the technique.
