ThurnbyLodgeFox Posted 12 May 2013 Share Posted 12 May 2013 What's the fascination with this guy?! Honestly he's been awful since the turn of the year and today summed it up! - constantly out of position - challenges for nothing - no pace. Tries to track back but doesn't For me, he's on the sell list. Just wondered if I'm alone in this view Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Posted 12 May 2013 Share Posted 12 May 2013 it was a surprise that he seemed to be sent on to get forward, surely him sitting and King bombing on would of been better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayfox Posted 12 May 2013 Share Posted 12 May 2013 I agree he was poor today and trying to play him further forward didn't work. Pearson got it wrong today. But he's still young and was in a side that was 2nd before the turn of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCFCCHRIS Posted 12 May 2013 Share Posted 12 May 2013 He seems to summarise our whole team (bar the slight recent upturn in form) who have lost their confidence/ability since january, alot of players also seem to come here, perform great , then dip under NP (wood, marshall are good examples) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fez of Mahrez Posted 12 May 2013 Share Posted 12 May 2013 I thought he was pushed forward because King and James were doing ok in the important holding positions and we needed to press more energetically further up the pitch. Don't think he was that bad. Totally different player in either half of the season though. One of the top three for the first half of the season in my eyes.

unreachable Posted 12 May 2013 Share Posted 12 May 2013 Drinkwater put in some impressive performances in the first part of the season but his lack of physical strength and height troubles me. King and particularly James can compete in the air but Drinkwater has to wait for the second ball. I'd sell him if we got our money back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimifox4life Posted 12 May 2013 Share Posted 12 May 2013 Something must of happened end of January. We have very good players drinkwater included and their form just dive bombed. That doesn't happen for no reason. Would love to find out why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col city fan Posted 12 May 2013 Share Posted 12 May 2013 This thread again could be turned on its head. Drinky is ANOTHER player who I really rated when Pearson signed him. Mysteriously, like Wood and Marshall he appears to have become a shadow of his former player. Look at it this way... Which of you at the start of the season thought that a play-off semi wouldn't feature Ben and Drinky in the starting 11? Be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazfox9 Posted 12 May 2013 Share Posted 12 May 2013 Ive been saying it since we were playing well- hes a younger version off matt oakley. We've looked much better with him out the side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitchandro Posted 12 May 2013 Share Posted 12 May 2013 He was completely the wrong player to bring on at that time. His form has dipped badly like others in the squad. I don't see him as a starter next season tbh, not if James and King are performing the way they have in the last 3 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdb Posted 12 May 2013 Share Posted 12 May 2013 He's been out of form. What else is there to say?! Good, young player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SneakyFox Posted 12 May 2013 Share Posted 12 May 2013 He was pretty good today, he is a young player with a bright future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan LCFC Posted 12 May 2013 Share Posted 12 May 2013 Not sure I'd sell him but I'd definitely not be as upset as I would've been if we had done 12 months ago, I'll say that. James is far superior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADK Posted 12 May 2013 Share Posted 12 May 2013 Not sure what's happened to drinkwater. He's completely gone off the boil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freeman's Wharfer Posted 12 May 2013 Share Posted 12 May 2013 I actually think he did well today. And I think he was brought on to try and nullify Chalobah as Nugent had been moved out of the position he had started in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maccy_96 Posted 13 May 2013 Share Posted 13 May 2013 I've struggled with this question all season - out of King, Drinkwater & James, which 2 would you play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonaldinho Posted 13 May 2013 Share Posted 13 May 2013 I've struggled with this question all season - out of King, Drinkwater & James, which 2 would you play? Well currently James and King. But at various points during the season, I've thought that Drinkwater/James and Drinkwater/King are our best central midfield partnership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davieG Posted 13 May 2013 Share Posted 13 May 2013 This why you have squad to select from if a player's form dips you've got others to bring in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
