I can accept players being shit but this clown can't be arsed, he shies away from tackles and has no intention of protecting the ball whenever a defender touches him. He's piss weak.

He'd surprise me if he shielded the ball from a defender or took one of them on.

Well, he didn't plenty of that in Bundesliga, I assume. We didn't sign him on the basis of a bushtucker trial.

I've no idea about Germany but virtually every single 90 minutes I've seen him play for us he's looked as committed as Boris Johnson. He just doesn't look like he's suited to English football one bit. He looked scared.

I honestly think the German league must be easy street for any remotely nippy winger. Look at Sancho, looked amazing over there, but shit here even when surrounded by much better players than we have.

So we need to sign some Bundesliga full backs and then sell them to our rivals... 🤔

I honestly thought he'd tear it up over here as always thought he looked the business at Leverkusen. But my god he's looked ordinary and slow.  Has he ever recovered from that injury I wonder?

I still have hope for Leon. You can’t teach speed, he can shoot and he’s got good footwork. It’s a shithouse mess at BH and hopefully a new manager, a real manager, can come in and get a tune out of him.

Leon can fly, but when was the last time we released a forward on a throughball from the middle third? We are set up so poorly. With two of the fastest players in the league SG never played to their strengths.

There was a situation where h had half the pitch to run at and was ahead of the Fulham player, I thought he would use his pace to run at goal but he turned back.
So either his confidence or his pace has gone, maybe both.

I think we should cash in on Bailey in January. All fart & no shit.

Bit harsh on Bailey. He was rank yesterday but our erstwhile manager said on Sunday he was only fit to play for 30/60 mins then. The recovery time with an injury surely meant that he shouldn’t have started.

This was (another) poor decision by Gerrard to start a recovering player two games on the bounce… but of course he’s got rid of all our other wingers.

Was only 10 minutes wasn't it? Guess that's better than doing it over 90!
