Marv is shite. Someone has to be truly honest and say it like it is.
He's 26 in a week, he's not a youngster in footballing terms. For me he showed enough early on to think he can do ok, but him and Luiz together doesn't seem to be working that well.

Both he and Nakamba have been error-prone and will probably not become more reliable until they've had a full 12 months around a Premier League club.It was an obvious flaw in the summer's squad-building strategy not to mix the Premier-League newbies with some more experienced players. Probably should have kept Whelan for another 12 months, for example.
Shouldn’t take a whole 12 months to bed in.

Too easy for players to break past him was a concern and now his passing has completely gone to pot.In an ideal world 4-5 games out to refocus. Mings had to miss that amount through injury and he's come back like his old self so players sometimes need that time out to get going again.
