Adster Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 Another pathetic performance from arguably one of the worst right backs we've ever had. He's absolutely stealing a living. He's a defender that can't tackle. And he cant stay in his full back position. Utter shite.
Kitchandro Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 Shocking signing. I hate him. He makes De Laet look good.
Corky Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 What does this guy actually offer? He is slow and uncomfortable on the ball, seems to struggle with most wingers off the ball, isn't particularly attacking. De Laet got plenty of stick earlier this season, justified or not. Simpson looks worse.
Kitchandro Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 I've been saying he's poor for weeks. Some people just have it in for De Laet but Simpson is most certainly as bad if not worse.
Fox 4 Life Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 Backs off players, constantly out of position and makes ridiculous decisions. Awful player unfortunately
teblin Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 If we play with wing backs de leat should play. Doesnt makes sense too me.
cityfanlee23 Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 Wow people actually want De Laet back, who does exactly the same thing at Simpson, have you all forgotten how many goals De Laet cost us at the start of the season?? Both as bad as eachother
Brooksy Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 How the **** is this guy a professional footballer.
Feed The Yak!! Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 I think that's a bit of a knee-jerk reaction. He's not "utter shite" but he's definitely not attack minded enough to be playing in a back 5.
Gary Eatfood Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 I think he might actually mentally defective too. What was he doing blocking off Sinclair in the last minute? Moron.
KFS Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 Thought he was a solid signing at first, but he's been very poor.
Mark Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 I can't imagine many managers in world football would pick would pick Simpson and Konchesky as part of a 5 man defence vs Aston Villa.
MooseBreath Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 Mid table championship standard player along with three quarters of our squad
shailen Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 At fault for both goals, let Bacuna cut inside dangerously for the first and didnt make an attempt of a block for the second. De Laet has to play next game, been saying this for a while now.
Swarles Barkley Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 Not just him. How the fvck can we create any chances with him and konchesky(!!) as our wing backs. No pace at all. Works when your playing arsenal who commit players but not fvcking aston villa.
One Legged Beaver Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 All my Newcastle supporting friends warned me about how poor Simpson was going to be and how he would just back off forever. I didn't imagine he would be this bad though.
Adster Posted 15 February 2015 Author Posted 15 February 2015 I think that's a bit of a knee-jerk reaction. He's not "utter shite" but he's definitely not attack minded enough to be playing in a back 5. . He can't make basic decisions. He doesn't win headers, Hes constantly out of position and he cant tackle. He cant even clear from our back line without slicing it or putting it out of play! Hes absolutely awful.
kingfox Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 All our fullbacks are shit so doesn't matter who we play.
shailen Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 Not just him. How the fvck can we create any chances with him and konchesky(!!) as our wing backs. No pace at all. Works when your playing arsenal who commit players but not fvcking aston villa. Konchesky delivers an excellent ball tbf. Agree about the pace issue. De Laet is suited for that RWB position
hoooom Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 The guy is clueless! A full back's role is to stop crosses, put big tackles in to stop attacks and to support his winger in getting forward.......he offers none of these attributes! He consistently backs off his attacker allowing them yards of space ( he should be much tighter) and was again at fault for both goals today! He aimlessly hoofs every pass up the wing, cannot cross and struggles with the ball at the feet. His consistently poor performances sum up why we will go down this season- Pearson continues to pick players who make mistakes, Morgan another prime example. Would much rather have De Laet in the team, or even Liam Moore!
Saxondale Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 I've been saying it for weeks - Simpson is the worst defender I have ever seen play for Leicester. He is dog shit. He's actually worse than simply playing with 10 men. The fact he couldn't even get in an utterly wank QPR side should tell us something. He's an opposition attacker's dream - he's alway out of position, he won't / can't tackle anx he's weak. In attack he's equally useless. I've never seen a player look so uncomfortable on the ball. He always plays the easiest possible pass, which often results in landing his team mates in the shit. He is a disgrace.
