There is only two right backs in the world. The one we have and the only one fat fooker failed to sign.
And btw some fookwit on this forum continually wonders why hes a target of the boo boys.
 
We'd be a bit fucked if all the players who "should never play again" according to someone on this board this season actually got dropped forever.
 
You could see that mistake coming for weeks. If he doesnt do the default boot up the line, and cant give it to the Goalkeeper or a centre back the panic sets in. Larsson should play there when hes fit again. Should have been sorted in Jan
 
He was promoted above his ability when we took him from WBA. His brain can't operate at PL speeds, his touch and technique aren't good enough and he struggles under pressure whether it comes on the pitch or from the terraces. At this level he should be the utility sub who gets a game in the event of injury or cup ties not ever 1st choice week in week out. What really worries me is he's poor even against the less strong teams in the league. I'm sure he's a lovely lad who loves his mam and does a lot of work for charity but as a footballer involved in a relegation dogfight he's done. He needs to be dropped and given time to get his confidence back up a bit and see how it goes after that. Everytime theres a break, mistimed tackle, turn over of the ball or goal recently it'd got Billy's fingerprints all over it. He was criminally neglegent for both goals yesterday.

Could probably do a job in the Championship which is blatantly the level he should be operating at.

Regarding Yedlin, could it be there's a clause to buy him or pay more loan fee if he plays a certain number of games while with us? Not claiming to be ITK or owt but it seems bizarre to say the least that BSA isn't even starting with him to get Jones out of the firing line? Whilst I can accept he's also not any sort of massive improvement I'd argue he's not as bad as Jones has been recently.
 
Looks absolutely knackered after 20mins. He even walks and runs like an utter imbecile.
 
Said on here ages ago Bardsley was better than Jones and quite a lot disagreed, seems to have been a few people change their mind since then!
 
Yedlin MUST start next week. I dont usually slag players off but Jones is just terrible now.
Goal his fault and his alone. Cant tackle, cant defend, rubbish going forward,slow, and just seems so bloody clueless its embarrassing. Unless hes fell out with the gaffer I cant for the life of me see what Yedlins done wrong, every time Ive watched him he seems fine, and strong where Jones is weak ! ( scratches head )
 
If your a bang average player then to me you have to be very fit just to try and compete. He looks like he's on 40 woodbines a day. Awful player. I just can't see how some of these players get pro contracts.
 
He took 3 touches before his failed clearance was blocked by Firmino.

So in essence there were 4 touches, by Jones when all that was required was one, which imo would have been a straight froward clearance.

What goes through players heads?
 
I thought he was perhaps our most consistent defender for the first half of the season. Defended him in the last few home games. Today I finally gave in and spent most of the game shouting in frustration. Sorry Billy.

Yedlin seemed solid for the time he was on, although he's made mistakes in previous games.
Yeah - same for me. That performance was a bridge too far.
 
He cost us a point against Man City-Lost the ball with his elephant touch and lost Aguero for their goal. Then he cost us another 2 pts yesterday giving the ball away again. Theres 3pts lost just this week we really needed-how many points has he cost us so far and how many more if we keep playing him? Hes got to be dropped and the fact Jones stands out a mile as easily the worst player in a poor team says it all. He should never have been signed in the first place.
