STM Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 My personal favourite is when anyone and everyone is a "championship player", Longstaff gets it alot. Alot of these players are doing awfully well for championship players, since they are sitting mid table in the PL. Someone said the same about McTominay, who just helped Man Utd win 3-1 against Arsenal. Disclaimer: I'm not saying anyone is above criticism, it's just the way some go straight to the red button.

Rocker Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Murphy is a 100% a Championship player, at best. Longstaff is not good enough, unfortunately, for the level where we want to be. He wouldn't be in the team if it wasn't for the injuries to Bruno and Shelvey. Not their fault and shouldn't be abused. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree, as you say, no one should be above criticism. When the criticism turns in to personal abuse, it’s a problem. I agree Murphy is a championship player and not good enough, and we should look to upgrade him whenever we get the chance too. personal abuse is counter productive all it will achieve is too demoralise the player and his team mates because all of a sudden they think, after a few bad performances they’ll be in line for the same treatment. Not to mention the likes of Murphy is a fan and loves the club, so let’s look after him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

huss9 Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 its great to hear from the likes of @Heron about the players behind the scenes. especially the ones who arent first choice. they might not be the greatest players but they seem sound lads.

gbandit Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 No one should be getting dog’s abuse in the stands. On here, people should be allowed to say what they want in terms of actual criticism of player’s ability, no point calling any of our players a cunt though. Actual insults should be reserved for awful people like Ashley, Keys or Lee Mason. Every player is going out there to try their best, just so happens that Murphy isn’t good enough and on top of that he’s in poor form for him and low on confidence Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafalove Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Another thing, imagine we sell a supposedly shit player to a team, that just so happens to have an incredible talent we want to sign next window coming through. Those players will be talking too each other about the club and part of what they’ll want to know about is the fans and how they treat players there.

Vinny Green Balls Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 (edited) Sometimes feels like, I don't know, a Jordan Pederson fan forum with the bizarre sense of grievance that a loud minority have on here. Almost as if they need the antithesis of the Ashley era to their thesis. And I am not talking about impulsive or drunken reactions like Butcher's, which most of us our guilty of.

Oregon_Geordie Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 I'm fine with Longstaff on the Bench longer term but actually have more time for him at the moment then Willock. Longstaff clearly has an eye for that clever pass. Liverpool away and the similar ball for Wilson last season. He's playing as the deepest most central of our three and taking on a huge amount of responsibility tbh, he never hides and gives his all. I think he's better suited in one of the other two roles. I'd start him or Anderson over Willock, who I think is a little slow, mentally at times and also pulls out of some tackles. Murphy is super limited, if he had no pace, he'd be playing League 2 I'd imagine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily there are only a few idiots and it’s not the majority. You haven’t said who you would’ve brought on in the game instead, as an attacking substitute? Plus why he’s a ‘cunt’?

Guest Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 International football is a step down from elite club management now. Better suited to an experienced manager who's been there and done that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoSelecta Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Howe is sitting on a dream job, no way he’d leave for England. A ‘sleeping giant’ with unlimited ambitions and the cheque book only limited by how far they can push it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty66 Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 This is another bonus to having wealthy owners. Managers are much less inclined to jump ship or use us as a stepping stone when the opportunity is there to basically build a squad and constantly have the chance to improve it every window.

Ironically, he might have left for Chelsea if they had gone for him when he was available. Now though, he's bought in. I don't think there's any club could poach him, and of course international management is for those winding down their club careers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
