May Contain Nuts Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 His attitude towards defending, to tracking, back, to closing down is appalling, so bloody lazy. I'm not sure I even want him as a coach, really hope he moves on after this little experiment is over. Piss off Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyBritishMidland Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Today was definitely not his finest performance. Everyone has poor games but what worried me more was the lack of leadership on the pitch. There was no rallying the troops once a goal went in. They’re clearly low on confidence but, and call me naive, I’m expecting an ex-England captain with 100+ caps to try and pull them together, make sure heads don’t drop and organise on the pitch. This even more crucial with the number of young players we have. Poor performance I can accept, poor leadership I can’t!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1967RAMS Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 If a player is picked to play he will play. It’s up to the manager to identify who is fit and firing and who isn’t. Who combines well with who and who doesn’t. It’s not always the players fault when it’s not working Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkle Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 They were all poor but playing both bird and Rooney when we need to actually win games is very restrictive it needs to be one or the other to start with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again - we need Holmes in that midfield two. Shinnie and Holmes for me next game. Holmes isn't strong enough for midfield. When he played there under Lampard he was bulldozed, though did show some effectiveness out wide for a 10 game spell that season. He is also Mr Glass from Unbreakable.

Nuwtfly Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Positives: still has that wonderful vision for a pass and largely started everything we did that was positive today (which wasn't much) Negatives: Body language is just not what you want from your captain. Unbelievably slow to the point that he looks massively out of shape. Makes Tom Huddlestone look quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BathRam72 Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Blimey. I remember most of you waxing lyrical about Rooney not so long ago. The fact is our kids are not ready or good enough to play at this level at the moment. Drop 2 or 3 of them and introduce them slowly. Bird is very negative, Sibley is not strong enough. Buchanan again out of his depth. Whittaker is light weight. All of them. are naive. So too many areas to exploit. One or two in at best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May Contain Nuts Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 He walks back after losing the ball, which is a frequent occurrence. At one point in the second half he actually went on a little run down the wing, so he's not completely immobile, he just doesn't seem to give a duck about anything other than attacking. I suppose that's not entirely to be unexpected given his career history, but it's bloody annoying to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
