Don’t think king has been that bad tbh...

We can't control the middle with him as he just doesn't offer enough. He never does much wrong but he never really contributes enough either. Not his fault we screwed up our signings, but when everyone is fit and ready he won't even be on the bench.

King isn't a scapegoat, in a midfield two you have to get involved. You don't have to look out to try and see Ndidi or Iborra, but you do with King. Get James on.

[M0901]

It does actually appear to be fashionable to slate Andy King. The man has been with us his whole career and there's a fine line between slating his ability and just showing the man zero respect.

Struggling a bit I think, ndidi is driving forwards a lot

I agree, but I don’t think King has the same technical ability as Iborra so I don’t really expect it from him.

 

He’s done what I expected to do that first half, which is nothing spectacular nothing too bad. Steady half from a steady player.

Why the hate for King??

He's had a decent half there. 

No mention if him and we concede a goal and everyone jumps on him.

Typical foxestalk. 

Bollocks... is pointed out him doing nothing as usual long before that. They are there for the taking but we need to control the middle and we rarely ever do with him playing.

[SheppyFox]

Anonymous King isn’t helping, he was anonymous besides that fluke of a goal that his fans creamed over last time too.

[TeaMen Tom]

King has been invisible.

I think we should put on james for king

Meltdown bubbling up nicely.

 

Someone should unlock the Safehouse.

We need to tweak something out there, they are piss poor and don't look far off us.

The worst central midfielder in the prem

[copunk]

Shinji does all the hard work of a centre mid, could he actually play there? 

[adam]

Andy King should be moved on. He isn' premier league class and never has been. Complete passenger. These corners are infuriating. Everyone is back defending and we still leave 2 or 3 of their players free. It's a joke. 

[UPinCarolina]

Only been able to listen on the radio, but of course Wague would score.

[Tuna]

No one slates King for the sake of it. The fact is he just simply isn't good enough now. Great club man and an absolute legend but he's just not good enough.

[ARTY_FOX]

They do look there for the taking when we go forward. Makes it all the more baffling that we decided to 'defend the lead rather than continue to take the game to them

Casper the Ghost would be more effective.

[TeaMen Tom]

Curious whether Claude addresses the RB situation.  That to me is the more pressing issue

Absolutely. Goals against column is poor for a team in 8th.

Our identity under Puel so far = offensively potent, defensively suspect.  Not exactly what anyone expected.

[HankMarvin]

Iborra is like an orchestra conductor, dictates the speed of play

Andy king is more like a bus conductor

 

[Stadt]

King is too poor defensively, dribbled past is a metric that’s not always publicly available but I’d guess it’d be horrendous.

Began his career there I think?

[sishades]

Only Watford have conceded more set piece goals than Citeh.

[Bazly]

King did make 1 tackle in the first half.
