Wout Faes

[Dan]

I will never have the mental strength to face my comments on him in his first two months. What an absolute twat.

Coady has to start now 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Should’ve started a good few games ago 

[Lambert09]

backing off when the player was out wide has to be some of the worst defending i’ve ever seen. he invited him into the box with a kiss. 

 

Id be mad if i saw an under 10s player defending that passively. 

 

After the goal midweek you’d think enzo would have been into them, to get closer the man. hope he doesn’t start again this season tbqh

It's genuinely unbearable watching him play. I can't stand him as a footballer.

[jmono84]

A no hearted casual attempt at blocking that shot! Pathetic! Happened all season with this team who don’t know how to simply block shots!

 

Coady in!!

[Happy Fox]

Side show bob is f**king shit

[CrazyKopCorner]

Awful, awful player - first one out of the door for me 

[john ridley]

Can't describe him as anything other than a ****ing disgrace  but he's not the only mind.

[FrankieADZ]

the last 2 goal have both come him getting dispossessed(millwall) and not closing down the player(plymouth)

for me his performances the last few weeks havent been upto much at all, think he should be dropped and give Coady a go,more than deserves it 

[Tielemans63]

He'll start against WBA....and no doubt there'll be another costly **** up. Rinse repeat.

 

Meanwhile we have Coady on the bench who doesn't even get a sniff. Ask Enzo.

[Gazza3]

Instead of sprinting back to engage the player he jogged back and then backed off. He could have challenged for the ball near the touchline instead of inviting the player to shoot. Get rid

[blueharmie]

Months ago he needed dropping and he's still playing evey game 

 

He's one of the main reasons why we won't be going up 

 

Get this ****er out the club

[sdb]

Another player I've backed for longer than anyone else, and have ended up looking like a total donkey. Yesterday's goal was fascinating. You'd expect under 14s to defend better.

[RowlattsFox]

Irony being backing off is the last type of defending you'd expect. He's normally caught diving in quickly. 

 

There are certain times where I've felt sorry for him, and whoevers playing left centre back. Asked to play centre back, full back, centre midfield all in one go. 

[Richmondfox]

He stinks out our defence and our attacks.  What’s frustrating is seeing him get involved so high up the pitch to then occupy the space where our wingers should be if he passed first time when they were unmarked. He isn’t skilled enough, holds onto the ball too long before passing and usually ends up getting tackled and goes down leaving us open for a counter. 

 

Winks and Ricardo are in part to blame as they constantly bring him into these areas with their slowing down and backwards passing. 

[Dames]

I remember having to tell people to calm down when they were saying this guy was better than Fofana after being pasted by Spurs. I’m glad everyone is starting to see the light, he has and always will be garbage.

I always agreed with you.

 

The Bournemouth game for me was when I started to think he was shit. Think we lost 2-0 or 2-1 at their place. 
 

First half of this season I thought he looks fine at this level, but he’s actually just shit. We wouldn’t concede some of the goals we do if he wasn’t playing.

I remember that game well and the reaction on here. We’d just been pasted by Tottenham, what was it? 6-1? And some on here (genuinely) argued that Wout had had a good game.

Beggars belief 

[String fellow]

He's just one several players in the so-called first XI who should never have been selected yesterday. Is Enzo so thick that he can't see that we're in dire need of squad rotation as the fixtures pile up? We are heading for total disaster if he can't see it, and we'll be a laughing stock in May when it all falls apart. The manager needs to urgently review his selection process, as well as his absurd tippy-tappy 70% possession and try-to-walk-it-into-the-net tactics.

Yep i remember you and col being in the trenches with me on that one. I’m actually ashamed of my initial assessment of him being an average Premier League defender. He needs dropping for good and you’re right we’d be far better off without him.

I still cant get my head around it now. Conceded 6 goals and the CB was apparently the best player on the pitch… 

[smudger63]

Matt Piper summed him up perfectly, "casual arrogance".

He isn't half as good as he thinks he is, and struts around the pitch like he feels he's way better than the level he's playing at, when the reality is the opposite!

How Coady has not been brought in to replace him is gross mismanagement from Maresca.

Sunday morning defending. Attacker was always going to use his right foot

This! I couldn’t believe the plaudits the goal got on sky! I’d back myself at 64 to score from that position with zero challenge and good view of far post! Mind you it’d have to be on the other side as I’m all left foot!

That’s harsh on lads who play Sunday league tbh. I’ve seen defender in the Prem of the Alliance League that know not to concede the box and make the challenge out wide to nullify the danger

[Tielemans63]

As an aside, if you're another player in the squad, perhaps a rival for the CB position, how can you have any respect for the manager when this guy has been costing us goals for months and yet is never dropped? 

 

I'd just add, CB is one of the areas of the team where we do actually have some decent options.
