If the Manager does not take decisions about a players performances, then the crowd will eventually let him know.

He needs a break, he's completely out of form and the fans are losing it with him. Playing him week in and week out is going to completely ruin him to the point where he won't be worth shit when we sell him. Pretty much like everyone the last decade.

I have defended this bloke in discussions with my friends and family, due to his assists and stats. But after seeing the way he trudged slowly off the pitch today, I give up.

Isn't McGinn out for two games now?

Dread to think how the midfield will play next two games and doubt Hourihane will be dropped as he does offer a goal threat at least compared to the others.

Today we saw the culmination of the destruction of his Villa career, and his outrageously slow walk off when we're two nil down, will go down in history as his Steve Hodge moment. The fuck out of our club.

I think he’s horribly out of form and needs a break. I still think he has value coming on from the bench.

Has never been anything other than average. That is, his performances are usually poor and weak but an occasional spectacular shot and goal pulls the average score up to mediocre. Not his fault but he just isn’t anywhere near the standard required.

I think comparing him to Steve Hodge is a tad way over the top to be honest.

Nowhere near the absolute minimum requirement of 100% effort, he bottled out of tackles and hid when we need him to show for the ball

A cowardly performance, if we are playing fanny merchants then they need to contribute far more going forward then he does.

Arsehole.

True. He's nowhere near that good. You love getting stuck in to posters, don't you?

Maybe he thinks you're over the top. I think Paulie is right.

I like it when Paulie goes in two footed and knee high on posters.
