Vacamion Posted 3 January 2023 Posted 3 January 2023 It seemed to bounce off him or be passed to the opposition by him a lot this evening. He was great at intercepting/tackling and laying it straight off. He's never been a ball player and it is unfair of Brendan to expose him like this. We improved noticeably when he went off. I hope he can find his form again, but I won't hold my breath.
5waller5 Posted 3 January 2023 Posted 3 January 2023 Regressing faster than most with Rodgers coaching 1
Popular Post Guest Posted 3 January 2023 Popular Post Posted 3 January 2023 Hard to watch him play at the moment. Like a beloved old family dog who can barely walk and spends the day dragging himself around the house and shitting everywhere. The difference in quality between him and someone like Palhinha is stark. 4 1 4
Leicester_Loyal Posted 3 January 2023 Posted 3 January 2023 His passing is absolutely pathetic for a professional footballer. I don’t think Rodgers has helped him but he should be doing enough to make bang average passes. 1
jv1 Posted 3 January 2023 Posted 3 January 2023 I actually cannot believe how utterly hopeless he has become - could have been sent off for that tackle as well - he is an absolute car crash - can’t pass it 5 yards and doesn’t even seem to be able to tackle or intercept anymore - shouldn’t be anywhere near the 11 - so much better by mendy when he was on - Ndidi has gone from being a 50 million quid player to a park player - you literally couldn’t make it up 1
Hales Posted 3 January 2023 Posted 3 January 2023 What is happening? He isn't the only played to regress either .......
Bezzanator89 Posted 3 January 2023 Posted 3 January 2023 Whilst I understand that stepping in for KDH 5mins before the kick off can be a little like rabbit in the headlights, this was still so poor from Wilf. Even if he won the ball he wouldn't know what to do with it. Every season that passes, he looks to have regressed even further than the previous season. Once the backbone of the squad, which now in turn, looks better off without him.

frany104 Posted 3 January 2023 Posted 3 January 2023 He should be the one we are looking to sell whilst his stock is relatively high. We need to start selling at peak value and reinvesting or we get the Tielemans and soyuncu situation. Ndidi has been crap for years now. 1
MalletFox Posted 3 January 2023 Posted 3 January 2023 That was one of the worst individual performances I can recall ever seeing! And I seen Faes at Anfield a few days ago! Absolutely diabolical!
StonyFox Posted 3 January 2023 Posted 3 January 2023 Worst player on the pitch tonight (some other close contenders), and yet he still played for over 70 minutes before Rodgers took any action

funkyrobot Posted 3 January 2023 Posted 3 January 2023 He looks unhappy tbh. He’s never been a great passer but he’s lost his relentlessness in the tackle and opponents simply outrun and out work him. He looks lost out there. A strange one really, a few years ago he wasn’t that far off Kante standards at least in the defensive part of the CDM role. He was absolutely vital to us. Now he’s behind Soumare and really should be behind Mendy. It’s all gone a bit Dele Alli. Like with the Soyuncu situation you do have to wonder wtf has gone on. 1
TMELcfc Posted 3 January 2023 Posted 3 January 2023 Terrible again, but said it about Perez the other day… who is actually playing well?
lcfc sheff Posted 4 January 2023 Posted 4 January 2023 We’d be lucky to get what we paid for him back.
Claudio Fannieri Posted 4 January 2023 Posted 4 January 2023 Classic example of a player who is suffering as a result of belng over coached and asked to do things he is not capable of. Rodgers has an obsession in wanting him to be our equivalent of Busquets, he doesn’t have the skill set to do it so looks woefully poor and confidence has evaporated. Needs to play to his strengths and be deployed as the destroyer who then enables the ball players to play. 1
Jaspa Posted 4 January 2023 Posted 4 January 2023 (edited) Injury riddled too these last 2/3 years, constantly pushing for fitness to then be out for a couple months. A great player, we saw what Wilf & Ricardo were capable of with their stats, yet I'm struggling to see a way either gets back to those levels. All we can hope to do is get them fit, get them happy. Some hope for Ndidi, still 26yo. Edited 4 January 2023 by Jaspa
Guest Col city fan Posted 4 January 2023 Posted 4 January 2023 I really feel for Wilf. Plagued by injury and being overly-coached. He was such a natural talent when he joined the club. Young, energetic, brilliant stats for tackles won etc. Being linked with bigger clubs. Now look at him….. Bodgers has ruined him.

We hardly paid anything for him, we'd easily make a profit regardless of form if we wanted to sell him. He's definitely a player held in high regard elsewhere regardless of how poor he's been for us lately.
Hammo Posted 4 January 2023 Posted 4 January 2023 Confidence is a fragile thing. Like Barnes, he has none at the moment. I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again. I think a lot of the players don’t actually like Rodgers and that reflects in their shabby, couldn’t-care-less performances, Wilf being a prime example. A different manager would get him - and others - firing again, I’m sure of it. 1
Sunbury Fox Posted 4 January 2023 Posted 4 January 2023 There was a moment in the second half where he lost the ball and didn't even run back to try to retrieve it. He just let the Fulham player run away from him. Not sure if that is too do with a lack of fitness or desire but something is seriously wrong with him. Very sad to see.
