So he needs to be better than himself and not Noone. And gets benched when hitting form. Thats life alright.

yes we saw him come together in the internationals and looking him old self. But he didnt start for Cardiff after that. But Noone dosent have to preform as he is on a freebie. What player in the team have been ripping the division apart?Barry Chuckle wrote:Scandinavianbluebird wrote:Barry Chuckle wrote:Has not performed this season anywhere near his capabilities and therefore isn't in the team.

The only time Daehli has looked any good this year is when played behind the striker. When he's been on the wing, he's been wholly average and anonymous & rightly dropped for Noone.
Form? What form? not at any time has he done anything of note. He's not tearing the division apart. Although, guessing from your name, I can see why you are being so positive about him.

He is 27 with tons of experience, Matts is 19, yet you hold Matts to a higher standard? Like llan bluebird said Noone seems immune to criticism, if whitts played like Noone played in the last few games he would be torn apart.

I never suggested that Noone was tearing the division apart. He's certainly played better than Daehli on the wing this season though.
I'm not the one holding Matts to a high standard, all you lot are doing that. Banging on about what a wonderful player he is, when frankly he's been a massive disappointment this season.
He's been poor on the wing and has been replaced by a more experienced player who has performed better than him.

Yet he is dominating every international match he is playing at the moment. (Even defensively).

Totally different game from international to championship. Far more time in internationals and he has only played in 5 proper games

Hence:
- the Championship players are bigger and better trained than Premier League players.
- a newly promoted team, keeping their core of players from the season before, would statistically be physical superior to any average Premier League club.
- if a PL club meats a CS club, the PL players will be bullied of the ball.
- players like Messi, Zola, Iniesta, Xavi (and Dæhli) would all flop in the CS.
Urban myth 2: Dæhli gets constantly bullied of the ball.
No, he´s not. Not if the ball is on the ground. People said even before they saw him playing, that they worried he would be too lightweight, and then they started to look for proofs of this. And during a 90 minutes game, "everybody" get bullied of the ball at least once. See it happens once - then, there is your proof.
With the ball on the ground, I would claim that Gunnarsson is more often bullied of the ball than Dæhli. People just don´t notice, cause it doesn´t match their prejudices. The ability to keep the ball in his feet, also while surrounded by opponents, is one of Dæhli´s strongest talents. This fact does not at all harmonize with the impression that he´s too easily bullied of the ball. But play hoofball, and let him go into an air duel with a player 6,5 feet tall, yes he would lose.
Dæhli was one of our best and most consistent players last season, and I think he proved to everyone he was good enough for PL - even played as a left winger. But according to the logic of some posters here, not good enough of CS. Sounds like a step from PL to CS is in fact a promotion.
Dæhli has not been in form so far this season, but he´s getting there. And from what I witnessed in the international matches, he´s already there. The opposition was maybe not the best, but it´s not relevant, really. The glue was simply back to his boot. People still believe he belongs at a lower level, something like The Premier League.

But he has done very little this season.
You say he has not been inform this season but he is getting there. We are quarter of a way through the season and he is still getting there. Will he get there?

Out of form, he´s been voted man of the match twice. In form, he´s not being played. In my opinion, he should be on there. Still, I respect that you see it differently.
