r.i.p whittingham

Sat Jan 31, 2015 6:55 pm

Am I the only person on here to think his game has gone ?

What does he bring to the team exactly ?

All he does is take corners and free kicks .

Surely someone else can do that job ?

Not using him as a scapegoat because it's not his fault we lost today just think someone else could have played in that position today and made a bigger impact .

Noone hasn't been the same since he came back .
Harris didn't play the best but thought he deserved to stay on more than noone

We were more compact and organised at the start just whittingham In the free role just didn't do it for me.

When gunner went off I thought whitts started playing better also we looked more threatening ,Jones has got to start every match

He looked lost in the "hole".

Was much better when he went back into midfield. Best crosser and passer on the team by a long way, for what Noone gives us play him there.

Yeah that's my point mate he can't play that position . Yeah might be a good passer and crosser but we need more than that out of him

He is the only decent passer of the ball we have. Also the number of assists ( apart from his goals this season ) will be by far the most of all of our players. That's why every Manager we have had over recent years make sure they put him in the team every week. :ayatollah:

No we havent got many decent passers I agree but hes not that great himself snd the reason hes got so many assists Is because he takes all the corners and free kicks. Ipso facto you and I could make a lot of assists through the season If we were allowed to take the set pieces. And the reason why severalnof our managers have continued to pick him is because we have been devoid of good managers. For any of the minimal good things he does, his lack of pace, vision and dynamism counts massively against him and he hampers our progress!

Still, for all that you and I are on the same hymn sheet with Marshall and Manga, superb players and we are lucky to have them. I guess we can't be expectedvto agree on everything! :bluescarf:
