Guest CityFan 06 Posted 22 October 2016 Posted 22 October 2016 He was superb again today for me, deserves credit. His solidity at RB is key for us and he dealt with Palace's wide men well.
Tuna Posted 22 October 2016 Posted 22 October 2016 You get the impression he genuinely loves the club.
Oxfordfox83 Posted 22 October 2016 Posted 22 October 2016 He's been one of our top 3 performers pretty much every game this season, and today again was flawless. You could see how hard he works just before Benteke hit the bar when, with Mahrez next to him admiring the sky, he almost managed to rob both their left sided players. He looks determined, fit and controlled-excellent to see.
Wymsey Posted 22 October 2016 Posted 22 October 2016 Never had a too bad a performance. Only 'rubbish' couple of games were when he first joined and off-field issues were on his mind, but still need another young RB and CB who can learn from him.
Guest CityFan 06 Posted 22 October 2016 Posted 22 October 2016 His consistency in his display's impresses me. Such a valuable player.
lcfc81 Posted 22 October 2016 Posted 22 October 2016 often overlooked, but a very good player. To think he was surpluss to requirements at QPR! Needs a chant though.

Keith Wellers Tights Posted 22 October 2016 Posted 22 October 2016 Comes across as an 'honest pro', which alone is good enough to be lauded in this era. Always seems to be giving 100%.
TheSomersetFox Posted 22 October 2016 Posted 22 October 2016 Both he and Hernandez have their own different strengths, but Simpson is our 1st choice for me. Said it before but he's a warrior, he gives us everything. Who'd have thought his career here would've become what it has? Fair play to him
Charl91 Posted 22 October 2016 Posted 22 October 2016 He's had a few rough games, but to be fair, they all have. It can't be easy having Mahrez in front of you either. Overall, he's been great. I swear he's our best defender from corners and crosses. Always seems to make the crucial last minute interception.
filbertstreet Posted 22 October 2016 Posted 22 October 2016 noticed he got forwards a lot today which helped
Jacnah Posted 22 October 2016 Posted 22 October 2016 46 minutes ago, Tuna said: You get the impression he genuinely loves the club. No not really. I don't get that impression from any of the players, other than maybe Andy King. What i see is that they love playing with their mates and are committed to them and the team. Absolutely nothing wrong with that!
The Quick Brown Fox Posted 22 October 2016 Posted 22 October 2016 Is disgusting that he doesn't get into the England set up.

I'd rather he didn't. and to add to this englands "style" of "play" (lol if you can call it that) doesn't suit Simpson. Danny is a defender not one of those galavanting full backs who love to whip low crosses into a striker. I do like Simpson a lot. Class
sm1 Posted 22 October 2016 Posted 22 October 2016 Probably the only player along with Drinky who has not only hit the heights of last year, but in some cases surpassed it. Kante did a lot of defending at RB with Simpson, so him not being here has put more pressure on him then most. Delivered a beautiful cross for Slim, who should have scored. Maybe the best English defensive RB in the prem, but England want to play with fullbacks who bomb forward and can't defend.
Dickov22 Posted 22 October 2016 Posted 22 October 2016 Been our best defender this season. injuts finished Joey Barton's book. He said he couldn't believe it when QPR sold him to us. Really rates him
Guest Col city fan Posted 22 October 2016 Posted 22 October 2016 Wtf does ANYONE slag this fella off? Under Pearson he was pretty naff. Since he was sacked, he's been nothing short of a fookin revelation! He gives so much effort it's unreal. Not much cop coming forward, granted, but as an orthodox RB...I swear there is no better in the Premiership.
brucey Posted 22 October 2016 Posted 22 October 2016 1 hour ago, Tuna said: You get the impression he genuinely loves the club. Best tweet among all the players in response to winning the PL. I'd say he's only second to Fuchs in how much he loves the club.

Seems to be fully dedicated to his career now. Pretty much. Solid player. 7/10 most games. Doesn't have the technical ability Fuchs has, nor does he provide much attacking wise, but he does his job, and is reliable. He wouldn't be able to play for Arsenal or Tottenham because they expect their full backs to do a lot more than what Simpson is capable of. Likewise for England. That's why he won't get a call up. Under Pearson neither him nor Albrighton contributed anything (Albrighton did in the last 7-8 games). Under Ranieri both have been a revelation..
Milo Posted 22 October 2016 Posted 22 October 2016 1 hour ago, EnglishOxide said: He plays like a guy who realises he let his youth pass him by without actually achieving much in football. Totally agree with this - got a second (or third) chance and seems to be a perfect fit all round
Chico1958 Posted 22 October 2016 Posted 22 October 2016 He's got competition now and he's up for the challenge. Perhaps he'll get the call up but I think his history may put paid to that. Loves playing in this team as do Fuchs, Shinji, King and looking at the goal celebrations today show's they might be getting that team spirit back again. Hopefully
MurphyMagic Posted 22 October 2016 Posted 22 October 2016 Solid right back for us. He is limited and does not offer much going forward but he is ever so dependable defensively. So much happier when he starts than when Hernandez plays.
Fox 4 Life Posted 22 October 2016 Posted 22 October 2016 There is no coincidence in how much more solid we have looked the last 2 games with him back in the side. He is absolutely quality as a defender, shit going forward but does his job to a tee
