I'm not sure playing two number ten's like he did today works. We badly lacked pace again.

Especially when both number tens are not playing anywhere near good enough for this standard.

Well yeah, but one of those we know isn’t good enough for this level.

I wonder if the PSR, Martinez, Ramsey summer-shitbag has taken it's toll on some of them. Not making excuses, but there's something fishy gone on

Undoubtedly as they alluded to it enough times. Which I think is part of the problem. The collective sympathy they’ve had for themselves losing their mates, not getting their moves, not buying better players (how does that make our new signings feel) was/is pathetic. I’m over it.

These fuckers (players) need to pull their fingers out because I’m sick of hearing their bullshit.

we are in danger of building Ramsey into a major loss , he  is injury prone and his stats aren't all that
Injured again and out for at least a month
Different injuries almost every time

A touch of the Billy Big Bollocks about him unfortunately.

I advocated that we should sell him when the daft money was talked about. Unfortunately, we’ve believed the hype and thought we had a gem. Suckers that we are.

A few weeks ago I said he's the best statistically brilliant poor player I've ever seen, in that he's rubbish for huge chunks of games but goals and assists paper the cracks. Should have been sold in the summer to allow us some room to rebuild. He's been poor, genuinely, since last December.

However, and I'll defend him here a bit, Emery is killing his style. Emery, without question, has got more and more defensive. At the same time Watkins since the Euros has gone from an average striker in a very good team going forward, to a below average striker that thinks he's too good for a defensive team. That's huge trouble. In that time we've stripped all pace out of our attack, so Rogers now has literally no runners, no space and is suffocated.

There's no easy answer, but right now he either needs to drop deeper and drive through the thirds with the ball as he's capable, or we need to drop him, and take him out of the firing line for a while, to find a formula that looks a threat again.

What terrible value for money he's been.

He’s been a brilliant and very shrewd signing, however he’s not at all in form. Personally I’d try him either back on the right or bench him for a game or two.

Yep, take the focus away for a bit and let him get back into it. He'll be fine.

He didn’t shake hands with the sub and walked straight down the tunnel.

He's a young lad going through a rough patch and is angry at his form.

His rise has been astronomical, but he's having a very poor run of form and has clearly lost a bit of confidence.  His final ball has always been a bit suspect, but he's not making up for it with the barnstorming runs.

I agree he probably needs to come out of the team for a bit.  But I hope both he and us fans can get a bit of perspective here.  I still think he is our key player and (unfortunately) probably our PSR get out of jail card within the next 18 months.

His fellow professionals voted for him as their young player of last season. He's now lost a bit of form and as Chris says, he'll be pissed off with it.

The issue for us is that nobody else has stepped up in his place yet.

The thing is, I can’t remember ever seeing any other player whose form has so drastically tanked.  It’s not that he’s underperforming, it’s that every single thing he does is wrong.  He is a total liability.  He’s not even ‘in the right position’ or ‘putting a shift in’.  It’s worse than playing with 10 men. 

For a lot of last season he looked kind of invincible: strong, quick, decisive. Now he’s slow, gets knocked off the ball and looks bereft of any clue what to do. 

It must be a crisis of confidence.  He’s only 23 so I hope he just needs a rest.

He’s the polar opposite to Beundia.
