Maddison Burke he was poor but he didn’t hide lichaj again poor but he didn’t hide midfield abysmal Kingsley a coward Magenis gutless and lazy Klp can’t play out wide weak and lost Wilks god knows what that is
Based on my 2nd half viewing: Maddison, gave us a bit of hope for the future! Long, with no defence in front of him, he did well. Lichaj, did well going forward.... Kingsley got hit in the head & saved it being 5, before it was 5!
Honeyman (for effort alone though; never stopped) Lichaj Maddison (glimmer of hope; hes a player, I bet he wonders wtf he's come to)
Taff - had a shocker 2nd half but 1st half was alright I suppose would've give him a 5 Kingsley, another 5, made a few decent blocks Maddison, bit of showboating, must be wondering what the **** he has joined Burke was the worst player on the pitch by a distance, but **** it everyone has a match like that now and again, better he does it in a match we get tanked than a close one. Honeyman and Irvine not far behind for me, wtf Batty has to do to get a game I do not know, and how he's behind Kane as well, jesus. Our CM is a real problem area, teams dominate us by winning everything in there. Also throwing it out there, Lichaj is not a captain, no authority, no bollockings, no nothing.
Taff on the basis he scored and prevented conceding another 3-4 Maddison Kingsley - Better than the abject performance at LB I was expecting.
I know you're a Burke fan, but Jesus wept, he was utterly ****ing hopeless today. It was a Sonkoesque performance.
I’d disagree the midfield three were abysmal I watched Burke last ten Still wanting the ball still pushing forward Still trying Contrast with lopes who hid for the second half. Kingsley was a disgrace for that challenge in the first half completely bottled it.
Everything came at the two centre backs The midfield was nonexistent. Made to look **** by our **** formation and weak midfield
It wasn’t that good! He was ****ing woeful. I think he needs to come out of the starting 11 if he can’t get his **** together.
Personally, I don't rate him and I'd have dropped him weeks ago if we had a replacement available. Though you could say that about much of the rest of the squad, McKenzie, Kingsley, Lichaj, Tafazolli, Honeyman, Irvine, Magennis, they're all thoroughly mediocre players.
Comment above is right. Our midfield is our biggest problem (and I know that's saying something as we are mediocre to ****e in defence and upfront). Been like that for ages, and nothing to do with losing JB and KG, and nothing done to directly address it this window (even finalised departure of MH who also wasnt an answer but was at least half capable in CM). Surely it's ****ing obvious.
