He was caught on the ball a few minutes before the goal as well. One blunder a game isnt great but multiple of them simply isn't good enough. Especially when the one for the goal was him not playing to the whistle. 3

Perhaps the system of aimlessly passing the ball etc rather than playing to his skills could be effecting him?

What really pissed me off was when he ran down the left wing ignored Thomas etc and lost possession in a game we were winning at that time. Just so unprofessional and plain stupid from a seasoned International player. 1

Haywood_6 Posted 16 August Posted 16 August I can't believe that goal yesterday. The replay gets worse every time you watch it. Let him go if he wants to leave 1

Let him go if he wants to leave Agreed but we need replacements lined up before he leaves. We need at least 1 centre back in the door before we even consider losing any. We currently have 3 and id say we need 4 for the season, unless we are planning on using Gray or Aluko
Popular Post CL Fox Posted 16 August Popular Post Posted 16 August Since we signed Fofana....our centre back signings: Vestergaard Faes Souttar Okoli Lascelles All whilst we want to play a high line whilst playing out from the back. Not one of them fits. 5 1
Bablemikey Posted 16 August Posted 16 August Maybe he hasn't gone yet is because we haven't had an offer sufficiently large enough to get the replacement/s we have targeted. It's not always possible to take lower bids. 1

Could you imagine if the Carabou cup game went to penalties and he did that for us? He played in a deep block system and put a few shifts in. That style isn’t going to get us out of league 1.

lgfualol Posted 16 August Posted 16 August Played exactly how a player who wants to go will play. Didn’t realise he was so clumsy as well, makes Vestergaard look graceful

He played in a deep block system and put a few shifts in. That style isn’t going to get us out of league 1. We'd be more likely getting promoted with that system than trying to play out from the back with what we have. McCarthy and Okoli actually can't kick a ball properly. Souttar and Skipp struggle with it. A good team and manager play to their own strengths, it'd help all our defence out immeasurably if they were just allowed to defend and get the ball away from danger, let the midfielders take the risks in the oppositions half, because what we have currently is seriously disjointed and will get no better trying to shoehorn a system that clearly doesn't work with the personnel we've got 1
HankMarvin Posted 16 August Posted 16 August Vestergaard is available on a free Jon will get him back on better terms 3
CL Fox Posted 16 August Posted 16 August 2 hours ago, FoxFossil said: Cody? Yeah missed him. Another unsuited.
ozvaldo Posted 16 August Posted 16 August Souttar would probably be ok at the heart of a back 3 if he was there purely to defend and not asked to pass the ball. But that’s never going to happen. We’ll continue trying to play a style of football that doesn’t suit the majority of our back line.
LeePhilpottsBaldSpot Posted 16 August Posted 16 August I'd sell him, Okoli and Faes. Annoying to be this late in the window but the model hasn't worked and we should just start again with a new profile of defender. ie a not shit one.
DezFox Posted 16 August Posted 16 August I can believe how messed up the defence is. Sell Thomas, faes, souttar. Okoli and just start again. I know it easier said than done.
