kingfox Posted 12 April 2013 Posted 12 April 2013 His form is seriously pissing me off, his performances are one of the most depressing things about this current poor run of form. What has gone wrong with him, he has gone back to his overrated and negative self, after such a good start to the season. You can't blame other players around him, because James and King have done alright of late, but Drinkwater has been poor for months, when on the ball we can't get any urgency going, because he either slows it down, looks sideways or backwards, or takes too many unnecessary touches. He is not talented, he is not one of our main players, he is not part of our "spine", James is the best midfielder we have, not Drinkwater, Drinky needs to up his game, or he can be sold.
Libertine Dream Posted 12 April 2013 Posted 12 April 2013 Probably broke his neck watching the ball fly over him all the time
Guest Basildon Fox Posted 12 April 2013 Posted 12 April 2013 Agreed. Would rep you for this if you hadn't been such a rep slut in the past.
Mark_w Posted 12 April 2013 Posted 12 April 2013 He is not talented. Yeah, you can just stroll up to Old Trafford and they'll give you a contract.
Harry - LCFC Posted 12 April 2013 Posted 12 April 2013 Like every player he's going through a rough spell. He is a good player IMO but he isn't playing well at the moment. You're free to criticise him of course but I think it's a step too far to say he should be moved on. He was very good, as many were, earlier in the season.
foxfanazer Posted 12 April 2013 Posted 12 April 2013 Yeah, you can just stroll up to Old Trafford and they'll give you a contract. Absolutely!
kingfox Posted 12 April 2013 Author Posted 12 April 2013 Yeah, you can just stroll up to Old Trafford and they'll give you a contract. Did he come through Manchester United though, did he make a first team appearance for Manchester United? No he didn't, because he got loaned out, had two very poor loan spells at Cardiff and Watford, starred at Barnsley until we picked him up. We've seen many kids at Manchester United Mark, some have made it some haven't, and some who haven't have gone on too have average careers, look at Danny Webber for instance.

Pearson wanted him during his first spell. In fact he wanted cleverly was his second choice behind Drinkwater.

Do you realise the competition there is just to get a trial at united? He managed it, can't all of a sudden be a shit player!

lcfcsnow Posted 12 April 2013 Posted 12 April 2013 Well we looked much better with the 3 in the middle than when he was took off and we switched back to 442. Maybe if we had a stronger midfield come the end of the match they'd have been a midfielder there to rescue Nugent before he self destruct? Who knows, but as I say most weeks I'm not comfortable with 442 with the choice of central midfielders available to us.
Walker Posted 13 April 2013 Posted 13 April 2013 One of a number who've been struggling recently and are suddenly shit players. NP and squad out!
brockmyster Posted 13 April 2013 Posted 13 April 2013 One of a number who've been struggling recently and are suddenly shit players. NP and squad out! No hes always been shit
Manwell Pablo Posted 13 April 2013 Posted 13 April 2013 One of a number who've been struggling recently and are suddenly shit players. NP and squad out! Honestly........ Some of this shit on here is.....just awful. My Missus is up the duff and I'm praying it's a girl, just so I don't have to put it through this sh1t. If it's a lad I'm honestly thinking about taking him down Burton Albion. I might be stuck with so many deluded idiots because unfortunatley it's in my blood but I feel I would be failing as a parent if I subjected to him to this shit. What happened to this club?
whoareyaaa Posted 13 April 2013 Posted 13 April 2013 Not as bad as people are making out. Thought the team played well last night to be honest.
fleckneymike Posted 13 April 2013 Posted 13 April 2013 Hes over rated ive said it time again and ill say it time again He's never been over rated by me.
Saxondale Posted 14 April 2013 Posted 14 April 2013 I'm getting peed off with Drinkwater for two reasons: 1) Though he tends to keep possession, he slows attacks down far too much with his easy, negative passes 2) Though he hassles opposition midfielders in a token way, he doesn't actually put a foot in enough for me
Bevan Posted 14 April 2013 Posted 14 April 2013 Up until the last two months drinkwater had been one of our most consistent players and was key in our team, he is playing crap at the minute but then so is the rest of the team.

The defence has still be consistently good of late, of course have played better this season, but De Laet, Morgan, Keane and Konchesky aren't playing crap like some other players. James and King aren't doing too bad either. The problems are Drinkwater, Knockaert, Marshall, Nugent and Wood.

But what is the underlying reason why so many are off form at the same time? I havent got a clue so have no idea how to put it right
shade Posted 14 April 2013 Posted 14 April 2013 absolutely this. But what is the underlying reason why so many are off form at the same time? I havent got a clue so have no idea how to put it right Nigel, what are you doing on here?
broughtonblue Posted 14 April 2013 Posted 14 April 2013 Nigel, what are you doing on here? ha ha. Like it
Bluetintedspecs Posted 14 April 2013 Posted 14 April 2013 A public flogging may be in order? I'm not one to go trawling through old threads but if my memory serves me right some on here now slagging him off were sucking him off earlier in the season! I feel the team slump has taken it's toll and finger pointing is fickle and futile. Age, experience and maturity are lacking in areas of our team, though without time how can this change?
