    So you'd like to see him growing his hair long and tying it up again ?

    Now there's a surprise.

    Any preference for footwear <laugh>

    If we keep all of these we’ll have the most imbalanced squad in the championship just as we did in the premier league.

    Never been banned for cumulative yellow cards though has he.

    Actually he gets booked every 4 to 5 games if you look at his stats.

    Cheeky bollox:undecided:
    He needs to shave that goatee beard thing off, makes him looked like a.. we'll, you know.
    I agree with you though he's worth keeping seems to be getting his mojo back.

    No he wasn't. He was the attack dog CB. Every time. Rodon held back, Struijk went out to the threats. Just like Pontus & Bartley.

    I'd agree if we were still in the PL but we're not.

    Apart from Firpo of course who put in some decent performances last season until the rest of them let him down.

    We'll see.

    Struijk is just as ****e as Firpo and he's pretty bad. Well he's plain **** if we are honest.

    Won't be long before "Struijks struggling" or "Struijk needs replacing" or "Struijk has lost his confidence" comments start.

    Same with Meslier.

    He may have been the weak link in defence, but his job was to play on the wing, & defend if he could get back. Same as every other FB in any team - you can't expect them to attack, yet be in defence when you lose the ball & it gets humped 50yds up the park. Shaks was the cover (when he hadn't strayed to the left wing) or one of the DMs. That's what Farke teams do - focus on attack. Simple if you have a striker to bang them in. That's our weak link!

    Found his level at Accrington away in the cup and even then it took him half an hour to settle after Accringtons reserve winger took him to the cleaners a couple of times.

    Only 'cos he's out injured so often. Hard to be banned for yellows when you only start a few games a season.

    Well, we've a shot load of defenders that can't defend so we are covered at the back if the game plan is for defenders to attack.

    Not enough assists, pre assists etc etc from Ayling for someone who repeatedly get in great positions.

    In fact he hardly creates any chances at all for us.

    Just making the point he does not get booked in every game or anything approaching that.

    Not at all! He creates as many chances as James, but they both have the same problem - they only have midgets to seek out in a forest of giants. Not easy.

    Luke's a great servant to the club, in fact one of the best in recent times so not slagging him off. It's just reached that time in his career when he probably can't do physically what he used to do.

    In 33 PL starts, he was booked 17 times & sent off twice. Not quite every 4 or 5 games, is it? :huh:

    Yeah, Jammy just makes it up as he goes along. He'll do everything he can to cover up the fact he's wrong.

    You've got to watch him closely.

    Still not a booking every game though.

    Jammy right again for pulling up the Firpo haters.
