Awaymag Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 11 minutes ago, reefatoon said: Again, judging yesterdays performance, if we don’t upgrade that central midfield position we will be royally fucked for the rest of the season, no matter who we bring in for the other positions. It’s where we lose games and needs rectified this window urgently. Its obvious to me, this window they need to be utterly ruthless. They need to replace 70-80% of the entire 1st team. Howe must know who the bad eggs are and they need to be moved out, either loans, sales (yeah right) or just paid off. It needs to be a cull. Before I was thinking, takeover, players will respond postively to new owners, new enthused crowd etc. They really haven't. Fuck em, get rid as soon as replacement found.

Menace Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Speaks volumes that Shelvey and Ritchie was the first names Rafa wanted to bin off and they're still starting for us week on week - and they both got rewarded with new contracts also Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toon25 Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 I'd love to see some of the aforementioned binned off, but Longstaff aside - and that's only via a Rafa connection - it says a great deal that nobody is coming in for the likes of Ritchie and Shelvey.

Dandy Man Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 6 minutes ago, reefatoon said: Totally agree. There was an example in yesterdays game around the 70 minute mark, where they were attacking and were a few yards outside of our box and Shelvey was standing there bent over with his hands on his hips. Now this is against a lower third division team and is unforgivable for me as their player just went by him with the ball. I think Shelvey tends to get off a bit light and escape criticism given the glaring deficiencies elsewhere and because he can pick a pass or hit a shot. But it is criminal the amount of times he does that hunched over shite pretending to want to close a man down when really he has no intention of doing so. If we are going to have him starting every game in that deep lying playmaker/quarterback role till end of season then it's not going to end well, has shown time and again he hasn't got the stomach for a battle.

And most of these loopy sideway passes he plays down the wings could be played by Schar. Problem is he’s so deep that we get no creativity in midfield as a result, and when we lose the ball they run through our midfield because his starting position is so deep.

Can't see Burnley selling him to a relegation rival. Weird one. Unless Wood kicks up a massive fuss and does everything he can to force a move, I just can't see it.
