Dan Neil


Cattermole was out half the time injured or suspended, games played in 10 years was a joke. Brilliant one game every 4 or 5 he played, regularly a liability. I agree Neil is/will be a far better player.

These errors than Neil keeps making, how many times has it actually happened, how many goals has it cost us? More pertinently though, is that him written off in your eyes? He made no mistakes on Saturday iirc, maybe he's learning.
Listen mate, we are going around in circles, a bit like Dan when he loses possession, sent off against Sheff Utd at the beginning of the season when there was absolutely no danger and managed to tie himself up in knots,and plenty of other times he has lost the ball In dangerous positions on the pitch doing exactly the same thing. Take the blinkers off and you will see this. I am not going through every individual game.

Cattermole had played over a hundred top flight games by the age Neil is now, had played half a dozen games en route to a UEFA cup final and had represented his country at every level barring full honours.

Cattermole occasionally got caught in possession in the top flight like Dan Neil has often in the second and third division. Neil has talent but he’s got a long way to go before he’s at the levels Cattermole reached

I'll take the blinkers off when you take your shite tinted spectacles off. So you've quoted one example where it cost us, but it is literally happening non stop every game and he's not learning from it.
 
Young Dan is progressing nicely in his 2nd full season in professional football, people seem to forget that he's been in the game 5 minutes. He's made a few mistakes, as every single player in our team has, but he is proving himself at this level and will just get better.

Yeah Cattermole started brightly, then was more often than not a liability, including in the championship where we dropped through the league like a rock or have you forgotten that.

Where did I say every game, you are making stuff up, I said he makes the same mistake again and again which I have explained. Do yourself a favour and search the match threads from this season and see how many times Neil is mentioned being caught in possession, it is not just me who is saying it.

Can’t forget something that didn’t happen.

I think when Neil has played 300 top flight games, appeared in league cup and UEFA cup finals and has been named checked by a world class midfielder as a very tough opponent we can maybe start being a bit realistic here

Cattermole was regularly a liability for safc. Think you've got false memory syndrome. Did you notice the season we dropped through this league like a lead balloon...

It's you saying it and a few of the other haters, the same few over and over again. I don't need to read match threads as I actually go to the games. So far you've come up with one solitary example of Dan Neil costing us, not bad for a mistake he makes again an again.

Cards on the table, you've written him off.

He’s obviously a cracking player
He’s young and will make mistakes but show me a player of his age who didn’t make mistakes then I will buy you a beverage of your choice
The age of social media when you can bitch on about every mistake they make
Even the best players in the world make numerous mistakes in a game
The lad is progressing well and maybe highlight the good stuff instead of the bad eh 👌

Yeah but he's keeps making the same mistakes, you can read about them on the match threads n that, people have mentioned it.

And you have a massive bias for him, don't make stuff up that I hate the lad, if you have watched every game and think he hasn't cost us in games then I would respectfully say you are talking absolute rubbish.

He was finished by the time we went down to the championship. Injuries had taken their toll. But Cattermole at his best put in performances against top flight opposition that Dan Neil has yet to put in against 2nd and 3rd division opposition. Cattermole had more ability than Dan Neil. He was captaining his club side at 18 in the top flight. You don’t do that without very good football ability.

Dan Neil isn’t at that level. He might get there but until he has anywhere near 300 top flight appearances to his name and cup final appearances this ‘Neil is better than Cattermole’ stuff is just about the best false memory syndrome example.

I'm asking you to state the situations where he's directly cost us. One game so far. I think you're overstating how much he costs us in games.

You've obviously made your mind up that he can't improve though?

And again making stuff up, where have I said he will not improve, in fact I posted were he has improved his game this season and you even liked the post:lol:

He told told Safc he didn’t want to leave -wanted to sign a new contract and play more games ( not sit on a bench ) —contract signed.The attitude you want surely.
