Pointless
I’ve got better things to do than debate his lack of ability with his number one fan
He’s been anonymous for the last few games & shocking today , granted he wasn’t the only one but he’s hardly leading by example is he ?
Captain ?
Do me a favour

Another ^

Talking of players doing nothing Patrick Roberts was awful
 

Some of the stock he gets is mad.
He wasn’t great today.
No one was though.
Some people just don’t like him no matter what and it must’ve killed them this past few months when he’s been our best player week in week out.

He would get in any midfield in this league comfortably.

we will be a worse team next season if he’s not in our team.

Shame some fans are just out to batter him.

There was 10 others as poor as him today

He can't win the ball for himself, has to be played in. Of late our wingers are picking the ball up well inside their own half, it's ridiculous man. They should be being played in by our midfielders looking to get them one on one running into space from twenty yards further up the pitch. It's pathetically conservative overthought halfway house football. What's the f***ing point of them picking up the ball ten yards from our penalty area? Why are they even back there? They haven't a tackle in them. We're not good enough to emulate the top sides playing possession football, our passing is crap. Accept that, raise the tempo, less side to side and passing back, our off the ball game is as poor as it gets, mix it up, play more direct to runners going past the man in possession, knock the odd long ball central, over the top to utilize the pace of our forwards. That Pep twat should be garrotted in public.

Got to agree with a lot of that.

Of course he is. He was our best player for about 3 months. Controlling the game week in week out.

We saw how important he was for us when Le Bris ridiculously moved him into a more advanced role to accommodate Samed.

Controlling what game 😂😂😂😂

We are in the back foot sat behind the ball
Most weeks ffs

You do realise what controlling a game means don’t you?

He was an absolute disgrace today, mind Jobe imo was worse and don't get me started on Roberts.

If you don't want to get started on Roberts then you probably don't want to get started on Mundle, Mayenda, Isidor, Rigg, Cirkin or Mepham.

Paatterson and O'Nien also honking, and Hume wasn't great.

Have we covered the entire starting 11 yet?

Browne and Aleksic just don't even get a sniff, even when Neil and Jobe have been shite for a while. Rigg has fallen off a cliff as well. We needed signings in January but nope, we just keep flogging the dead horses.

They both need to be used more often to keep things fresh, but Browne showed nothing today off the bench and has never looked like being more than a journeyman bench player for us.

Never read such a load of crap. He’s a bloody fabulous player, we got (somehow) worse when he came off, it was just a very predictably bad day at the office.

Worse player yesterday, and there was many, try luke o’nien. Truly appalling - yet again.

Imo.

Your definition of class and mine are different mate.

He’s been better admittedly but he hasn’t been class.

He's been the best midfielder in a team that's 4th. He's also had very little support from any of the other midfielders for about 2 or 3 months. He's been pretty good overall

They didn’t have much support from him for the first 2/3 on the flip side as he was quite poor.
 
Under TM and Alex Neil, Dan was usually the best player on the pitch, but under a defensive manager like RLB he's just not very good. We simply haven't got the players to sit back and contain teams, it might be the RLB plan, but we just don't have the physicality or experience to do it effectively. We honestly are the polar opposite of Brentford! All their midfielders work together, every pass is a progressive one, never backwards. Now look at our 3, the first thought is to pass it backwards, then out wide, back to the CB, then to the FB, eventually the winger gets the ball, but he's still in his own half.
