He's garbage. Send him to Newcastle & get Saint Maxima in his place

Saint-Maximin as a defensive midfielder would not work.

[Marshall Cockney Fox]

I'm sorry chaps, he's just a bang average player. He is in my opinion as good as he's going to get. Which for our needs is not good enough. He offers zero going forward. 

[Guest ttfn]

16 passes today in an hour at home to a side we were huge favourites against.

[baldeagle]

Did he even attempt a forward pass 

[Corky]

At the risk of stirring up a hornet's nest, you can see why Mendy is preferred. So much better on the ball.

[Kierzz]

He needs to be braver with his passes, too many go sideways or backwards. We struggle to work the ball up the pitch with him in midfield, especially when Tielesman isn't playing deep with him.

 

He also switches off too much defensively and gets caught out of position.

He looked absolutely lost in the first half and barely improved in the 15 minutes he played in the second half

At least 5 were misplaced and the other 11 were sideways and backwards.

Think he managed a couple in the first leg 

[Foxy harry]

Good at what he does, but what he does wasnt really needed tonight

[Leicester_Loyal]

His passing has never been good enough. He'll end up like Schlupp, playing for the teams trying to avoid relegation and will earn himself an ok career.

They were back passes that went astray

I'm not even sure he's that good at what he does.

 

He gives the ball away in silly positions regularly and silly fouls too much.

If this is true then that is absolutely shocking.

[KingKoala]

He was useless today but it's just that he is not a player for a team with ball possession.

Before tonight's game, I would have rather Choudhury started than Mendy.  I my opinion hasn't changed.

 

He did a lot well tonight.  When he lunged fro the centre circle to the defensive D , it was a bit worrying though.  Perhaps his legs had gone as he was a long way from both ball and player.

 

He started confidently.  I am wondering if there is a stamina issue.

Would be interested to see how many times he played the ball forward tonight? my guess is maybe once...Not blaming him he offers what he does but he should never play in the same team as wilf for me.

Feel he's a scapegoat again. Every player was shocking today. I wouldn't rate any of them over 4 out of 10

Not really scapegoating, he had such a bad game its making me question that was keeping him ahead of getting Chalobah really the right decision... 

 

But yes, everyone had a bad game but at least we know for most of them thats their floor. This feels dangerously close to Hamzas ceiling.

How many times have we heard that about him. It seems every game he plays someone is saying it.

[adam]

Never been good enough and never will be. Should of moved him on to Newcastle

Neither have the requisite attributes for deep lying PL midfielders. Choudhury isn’t good enough on the ball and Mendy can’t cover ground well enough. I’d sell both, bring KDH into the fold and sign Anguissa or a similar player.

[STUHILL]

Choudhury, Amartey and Under demonstrated our lack of squad depth tonight.

 

Don't want to be overly harsh, as all three work hard and often come in with little match sharpness.

 

But, they are very limited players and when you look at the other top 6 clubs, they have much better quality in the squad IMO

 

If we want to keep pushing these big clubs for top 4, in the cups and Europe, then we must invest more in the squad. 

 

If we don't, then I can't see how we won't have a future of tired or injured star players, with very little quality cover to come in and keep our momentum going.

 

Hopefully Top is well aware of this and he knows if he wants to keep us pushing the traditional big 6, then he needs to spend more.

Looked more like he was hiding. He could have done a lot more to get involved but didn’t. So disappointed in him.
