Luke O'Nien

The mags game, he made a mistake, slipped as he went to pass and cost us a goal. He owned that mistake and admitted it afterwards.

What more do you want? Sacrifice his first born? Slate him for every single mistake forever?

Diarra missed an opportunity to win the gametoday, do we hammer the fuck out of him as well for ever?

I don't want him playing in front of much better players sitting on the bench. He isn't good enough and needs moving on or simply being a cheerleader behind the scenes.

Woltemade? I was Gordon who picked it up. Think we are establishing now you're not actually up on the facts like.


Ellburg went to kick it long, Xhaka told him to kick it to Luke right in front of Gordon who knew what was coming. Go and watch it back

You might want to have another look like 😂

I dont think Luke was great today but he was up against top class international strikers, did his best with what he had and wasnt totally mugged off.
What i would say , with regard to his future place in the side . Imagine he was currently playing at Forest, Leeds, Palace or some such and he came up on a free in the closed season ...would you sign him?

Absolutely not, no.
 
It's frustrating because on the ball, he is a good footballer. It's just the small lapses in concentration defensively that let him down.

I don't see much hope for him being in the XI on Friday unless Alderete or Ballard aren't fit...

Yes, Diarra should be shot with shit for that effort.

:lol::lol: you clearly aren't. He passed it to Woltemade who played it to Gordon. What a wally.

You are totally wrong.

So why didn't Alderete/Ballard man mark Watkins then?

They were marking him when he was in their zone. It just so happened that he got a lot more joy when he was drifting in and around O'Nein as he couldn't deal with his movement.

He's not good enough to be a regular starter at the top level. Quite simple for me.

Because he ran away from them onto o'nien because hes a weak link.

Are you suggesting the centre backs keep swapping sides in play? :lol::lol:

The lengths people go to for defending him is INSANE :lol:

Only if Alan Carr was unavailable.

I'm saying it was Xhaka telling Elborg to kick the ball to O'Nien rather than long which Gordon picked up on. He heard Xhaka's instruction so knew what was coming.

So when Watkins was drifting about our bigger stronger centre halves should have went with him then, not leave our smaller weaker centre half to deal with him.

You said the ball never went to Woltemade. He was the next person to have the ball after o'nien. Watch it back.

Xhaka telling him to play it to O'nein is no excuse for him costing us a goal.

Yes I'm suggesting they swap sides, it's called man marking, it's been about for donkeys years.

This is absolutely incredible defending him tbf. This is simply not how things work or is at all possible except on a set piece.

Floating centre backs to hide O'Neins inadequacy
