Rodwell....

[bennett83]

Agreed-not a fan of his but thought he did ok when he came on. Fair enough slating someone when they're crap but give him some credit when it's the other way.


Gets on my tits when he says "shall"

Think some people took decent as me saying he was amazing. He was decent 6-7 out of 10 for me

TBF Cattermole isn't exactly pulling up tree's!!

At least Rodders has a bit of pace, height & 2 feet on his side....

That's it you have nailed it

















He has two feet on his side while others have them at the end of their legs!

...learn the rules, there are some Sunderland players you are not allowed to post anything that could possibly be construed as neutral about, never mind vaguely complimentary

Because he still gets game time, that's what's baffling some people.

Who should have replaced Kirchhoff then?

I thought he was good on Saturday. Superb block in the second half as well. (At least I think it was him)

Asked the same question yesterday, person relied Toivonen, its all about opinions

Agree with that assessment of him-did ok

Just wanders about really. Hes always near but rarely involved in the game

Your original post was OK, no need to justify it

I made a point of watching him on Saturday, and he's permanently off the pace, he strolls up and down the pitch following the flow of the game without actually getting involved. I think he touched the ball about 8 times in the first half hour of the second half. When he passes the ball he just seems to help it on without actually affecting the game. Yes he made a block, but most of the time he just wanders around pointing. He's a passenger and when he's on the pitch its like playing with 10 men.

What I have been saying, the fact we had a great result and he made a good block seems to have brainwashed people into thinking he played well overall. He was a passenger, along with nearly losing us the game in injury time when he just watched the ball pass by his foot in the box straight to a Man Utd player.
Basically everyone praising him seems to be saying, "He made a good block and didn't do anything that lead to a goal".
Call me old fashioned but I like my players to try and affect the game, this can mean f***ing up, but it is better than fuck all.

In fairness I do recall he did something good other than the block.
I can't actually remember what it was.
I just remember thinking "Rodders did something".

Well whatever the correct answer is there weren't a plethora of alternatives and Allardyce must see something in training.

 

[Super Colin Todd]

Bump!

 

[KarlM]

He was pretty decent when he came on but you have to take at least one of the chances he had.

 

[sir rowell cummins]

Rodwell did ok. He hit a first time shot on target. Im not his biggest fan but he did ok today and at least got into the box which we had failed to do for much of the game.

 

[Jackal]

Did well by his meagre standards. Should have scored though
