I'm not a big fan but I thought he worked really hard tonight and you can kind of see why Bruce picks him. He's not doing what we brought him for though.

I like him but he needs dropping for a bit.  He's clearly extremely low on confidence and whilst dropping him isn't going to solve that we can't carry a totally ineffective player.

9 goals in 50 odd appearances for the club and throw in a diabolical attitude to boot

Not this "diabolical attitude" rubbish again.  He might not have played brilliantly but he never hides from the ball or doesn't try. I see nothing wrong with his attitude. His form is worrying though.

I think his attitude is part of his problem. Whilst I don't think he lacks effort he clearly thinks he's something he's not. He gives me the impression that he thinks he's so much better than everyone else and shows a clear reluctance to pass and involve other players.

It's either that or he is just a really shit footballer

Himself, Grealish and Amavi frustrate me the most because they're all technically gifted yet their decision-making and final ball let's them down so often after they've done the hard work of evading challenges and creating space for themselves.
I guess some of that can be levelled at the lack of options when they do have the ball but at times, when an easy outlet is available, like Grealish for Amavi early on last night, it goes behind the player or to an opponent. You just think, ''Fuck sake, you have the talent but are you screwing-up on purpose or just brainless?''

I don't know what he adds to the team. Striker? winger? number 10 in the hole? No one seems to know. He's a luxury we can't afford in this league. Sell in Jan and replace.

I don't recall a good game he's had.

Seriously?  Our best player last year and for much of the start of this season too and you don't recall one good game?

Derby and Forest, motm in both those games on the right wing

no form to speak of in ages though, run with the ball until he loses it despite better options being available to pass to in many cases

He also turned the game against Newcastle. Clark and co. were shitting it as soon as he started driving at them in the last 20 minutes.

I don't think he was that good against Derby or Forest but would have to agree he was excellent in the 20 minute spell against Newcastle.

The biggest problem with him as far as I'm concerned is that I see a performance like that against Newcastle and think that he should be able to turn in performances far better than he has this season and more consistently, the fact that he doesn't leads me to believe that it was a one off and he isn't that good or he has an attitude problem. Personally I don't think he's a any good

Last night he looked like a kid who's just been told that Christmas has been cancelled.  I fully expect him to be gone as soon as January rolls around.
