Have you ever seen him play live ? would guess that we would have 10-15 pts less without him,just been named in the 2 best centre backs in championship team of the season.along with wood as best striker.
All wummery. http://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2017/03/2...-speaks-out-on-being-dropped-discussion-with/ Good enough for me.
I dont go to games due to being on the otherside of the world these days but I don't see how you can say this. Take away what he does when he has the ball at his feet, he wins every single header and unlike Cooper actually gets the headers cleared from danger, dives in front of the ball in a way no one has done since Kisnorbo. Very rarely gets beaten for pace and wins almost every tackle his way. Add that to the shear level of commitment he has on the pitch and we have bagged ourselves probably the most rounded CB in the championship who imo. could easily be playing in the prem right now. Only issues for me is his discipline (which I'm not sure he'd be the same player if that was fixed), he does get caught out positionally sometimes and he does have a tendency to overplay (but then I think that suits Monk's style quite well anyway). He's more than young enough to continue to improve,
All about opinions lads. I said he's overrated, not bad. He's an average centre half. The championship is choc full with them. No need to get yer knickers in a twist.
Not getting involved... Not fair when people gang up one one poster. I hate it when you guys do it to me.
Ok.. He isnt entirely wrong about Pontus. I too dont think he is deserving of the hype. Bartley is the better cb and Ayling is the best signing this season. I fecking hate his show boating cruyf turns, and his look at me post match antics do nothing for team morale. I can see why Monk dropped him...
He is entirely wrong. he wouldn't have got in the Championship team if he was average. I agree with you about his playing to the crowd and showboating though, and also agree about Ayling being our best signing
It's no more the response I expected. I've often followed in here but dare not post due to the bullying and clique of a few. Some don't like hearing another opinion, especially when it doesn't suit their agenda.
That team of the season is ****e... IMO Ayling should be in it and the barcodes are under represented.
