Not a rant just an observation, does he remind anyone else of a headless chicken for 90% of his time on the pitch. Had an argument believe it or not with another plastic fan in east stand today. I was giving Harper loads for missing a sitter from inside the 6 yard box & this herbert pipes up to get off his back as he is the best player on the pitch. I just asked him if he wanted to borrow my Beverleys Beck's cos he must have been watching another game to the one i was at & currently watching. Dont get me wrong it works "sometimes" with Harper in midfield but the man never looks up to pick a pass and marks whoever doesn't have the ball most of the time. Point gained or a point lost, gained i suppose but i think we should have had all three cos in the first 20 minutes Rosie should have had at least 1 or even 2 given the chances he had. But Rosie easy man of the match for me. Onwards & upwards its not over till the fat lady gargles !!! CITD !!!
he is now responsible for 2 of the 3 worst misses ive ever seen at city.. im just glad he was pulled off early, hopefully nigel might be starting to see the truth..
At least i am not the only one who thinks he is shi** then !!! I was tempted to twat the geezer who was messing with my MOJO when i watch the Tigers. Looked about 10 years old so was probably at UNI going by his plum in the mouth accent. !!!
always said hes awful...i dont buy the argument that he does the ugly sde of the game ..etc..he doesnt, he is literally a waste of a shirt, contributes nothing to the attack or defence..
Just want to use a couple of points in your post. "the man never looks up to pick a pass" - Makelele could never pick a pass either. But he did his job effectively. Even nearer to home, Ashbee couldn't pick a pass most of the time, but he was brilliant for us. You don't always need to be technically gifted. "marks whoever doesn't have the ball most of the time." - That one is the funniest. If every player marked the player with the ball then we'd be pretty ****ed. If everyone marks up a different player when the other team have the ball then they have no easy passing option which means we'd win the ball back quicker...
ashbee was rubbish on the ball, but he did do the ugly side of the game well- he contributed.... harper lost his 1st 2 attempted tackles today..the 1st one almost comically slided past the ball, there man, and took chester out...
Makélelé ffs, you're comparing Makélelé to Harper? He was ****ing dire today, a waste of a shirt is almost a compliment, he reminds me of Simon Walton, he can't head, can't tackle, can't find space, can't make a pass, in fact there's a bloke playing in my veterans team tomorrow who'd do a better job than him(and I'm being serious). If I never see James Harper in a City shirt again, I'll be a happy man.
All players make some mistakes, but when a player seems to make nothing but mistakes, it starts to get me riled. I seriously haven't been this pissed off with a player, since Simon Walton left.
Someone near me commented similar, so we watched his next few moments of involvement and he didn't put a foot wrong during that time.
im trying to see the positives in harper but there are definetly more negatives.its like playing with 10 men at times.
Earlier this season I never slagged Harper off, partly because I was oblivious to his ****ness and also because I don't like saying my own clubs players are poor footballers. However, I have now come to appreciate just how **** the guy really is. The miss alone says everything you need to know about him. It epitomised just how God-awful he has been for Hull City.
Whenever I watch him closely he's doing his job, but I guess everybody else is right and he is ****e. Shame he didn't score though, might have stopped him getting scapegoated.
Organiser, can't see Koren doing that, or Evans. If we didn't have somebody on the pitch sorting things out we would be losing games like todays against one of the top two teams. Like I say (sorry for the Swannyism) if he had scored today I don't think there would be that much moaning. You'd think we'd lost four-nil and he scored three own goals going by some comments here. I remember we used to have somebody **** called Marney in the team and got promoted, give Harper a break.
