Carlos88LCFC Posted 5 April 2015 Share Posted 5 April 2015 You can't knock Schlupp for his efforts but ye, he's not a good footballer at all. Konchesky is a better choice if we are going defensive, as is Simpson on the other side... But Pearson has chose to go all out attack and Konchesky doesn't have it in him to do the running required so Schlupp is the only option. I know I wasn't the only one asking for a left back to be signed in the summer and then screaming louder for one to be signed in January. We must have had targets pass us by because even Stevie Wonder could see we needed a first choice left back more than anything else when we came up.

Sol thewall Bamba Posted 5 April 2015 Share Posted 5 April 2015 I can forgive his defensive mishaps most of the time because of how he supports the attack. It's like having two left wingers when he bombs forward, and is almost allways there for the overlap when needed. Seeing as people are saying we should "go for it", "do or die" etc surely this is what you're after? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxiled Posted 5 April 2015 Share Posted 5 April 2015 Dreadful. Maybe in a couple of years he'll be ok, but not smart enough or technical enough to be a prem wing back at the moment? But then Sorting out our whole defense has to be our top priority, regardless of who our manager is in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rico Posted 5 April 2015 Share Posted 5 April 2015 Defensively he was poor and was easily beaten by West Hams attacking players,he really needs to sort his decision making out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was probably the worst performance I've ever seen from a full back yesterday. Just thankful he only cost us one goal - if it wasn't for Kasper it was 3.

Seeing as people are saying we should "go for it", "do or die" etc surely this is what you're after? But the problem is, he gets into great positions and it goes to waste. Has he had an assist this season or even a key pass? He either hits and hopes which has allowed him to score a few, but how many times has he blazed the ball pretty much out for a throw in? He runs into trouble when there is an easier option in the middle to pass too. He doesn't read a game well, track players runs smartly or play with the rest of the defense. If you watch their goal you will see if he didn't stay back the guy who scored would have been offside. I love the guy for his commitment to the cause but come on? He isn't even close to being an average premiership player and every time he has the ball he gets an adrenaline rush and every time the opposition have the ball he doesn't know what to do. When he gets the ball he reminds me of Forest Gump when he plays American football. Pass him the ball and he runs, that's all. But he has scored a few for us which others have failed to do regularly so hats off to him for shooting.

Fox92 Posted 5 April 2015 Share Posted 5 April 2015 Can't wait to sign a new left back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haydos Posted 5 April 2015 Share Posted 5 April 2015 Well he's the best choice to play left back at the moment, we need an attacking threat in both full back positions to stand any chance of getting out of this. He made a few errors yesterday but I won't be wishing for a Konchesky return. Dont get this. He's a liability at LB, not Premiership standard by any means .

Corky Posted 5 April 2015 Share Posted 5 April 2015 He's the bizarrest player I've seen- can look a world beater at times then absolutely awful. There doesn't seem to be a middle ground with his performances, no three or four games of being ok, just brilliant or terrible. Decision making wise- being slow to get to the ball, hesitant, careless with passing then putting in a great tackle or going on a storming run.

A man who was ****ing dire again yesterday and nearly cost us the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted 5 April 2015 Share Posted 5 April 2015 Dont get this. He's a liability at LB, not Premiership standard by any means . They both are, but it didn't work with Konchesky and right now we need goals. Schlupp and Vardy must be the fastest combination in the league, albeit lacking quality but they will create opportunities. (to miss) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He made a few errors yesterday but I won't be wishing for a Konchesky return. He really is not. I can understand the intention of Jeff at LWB bit certainly not at LB in a back four. He simply can't defend. We got lucky yesterday that he only cost us one goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fez of Mahrez Posted 5 April 2015 Share Posted 5 April 2015 I'm all for attacking intent but I'd play Konch away from home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos88LCFC Posted 5 April 2015 Share Posted 5 April 2015 I'm all for attacking intent but I'd play Konch away from home. De Laet is a pretty capable Left Back on football manager... Possible option? He could burst forward and cut inside instead of playing out wide. A sort of Left Inside Wing Back... It's not like he would defend any worse than Schlupp? And he still has the energy to burst up and down the pitch unlike Konchesky. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk It sounds good in theory but from experience this season it involves De Laet running 50 yards then turning back onto his right foot ineffectively.

ScouseFox Posted 5 April 2015 Share Posted 5 April 2015 haha always good when drunk me makes sober me laugh. it's true though i reckon if we played nobody there then we'd have had said left back in the correct position more often than schlupp yesterday. like i said i can sort of get behind him (ole) as a winger cos whilst he rarely does much good he also cant be too damaging from that position, but as a full back we look like we could concede hundreds of goals every week just down his side alone.

Jimmy Posted 5 April 2015 Share Posted 5 April 2015 Shut up you retarded ****whit, downing's most threatening moment was a deflected shot, he contributed nothing else. And what about the 4 chances Barry wasted only 1 of which were on target, stop trying to make out Schlupp is the only 1 that missed a chance of made a mistake yesterday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is an inexperienced player things like that are going to happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
