    He was brought to the club as a winger. Since O'neil he has been constantly played as a central midfielder.

    Sen has always been slow, there is nothing he can do about that. He isn't the best tackler.

    I would say he always puts in a shift but a game can easily pass him by in the middle.

    We have a lack of options due to us having such a poor cm. I'd like to see giacc in that role.

    Can it all be seb's fault?

    nah he's just ****, he is mind, yes i'm pissed but i thought he was ****, no balls (gonads), i was also disapointed in colback 3 clear occasions i can think of he had the chance of a killer pass, saw it to late and passed sideways.

    larrson is ****, why he takes set peices is beyond me, must do it well in training, when he's not windmilling his arms

    When you have a hole in the team, it makes it difficult for the rest of the players around the hole.

    Larsson is our hole.

    Stick someone there that can play like Ki and the hole is filled.
    Ki didn't have his best game for us that second half passing wise, but he must have been knacked the extra graft he was having to do.

    He simply isn't and never will be a central midfielder. The abuse he gets is a bit OTT as he is being asked to do a job he is not really suited for. It would help his cause though if he could take a decent dead ball which is supposed to be one of his strengths but has been a huge weakness in him this season.

    I thought they all faded second half. They have played a lot of football in December and January and there is no let up. Reinforcements needed!!!!

    So he was bought as a winger and he's always been slow. So who signed this slow winger?

    I'm hoping he gets his chance up front first to see what he can do.
    He look comfortable moving at speed with the ball and isn't afraid to take a snap shot.

    He's no winger, he a wide midfielder. Bit of an obsolete role these days, tend to get either wingers or inside forwards. He's a football dinosaur. Needs to find a poorer league where ****ty 442 is still the norm.

    Can't remember where i read it but he apparently has the best tackling rate of all our midfielders, was very surprised to hear that like. Doesn't excuse the fact that he is the weak link at the minute.

    Well put. The Only good games i have seen him play for us were when he was on the right-side of a midfield 4. And those games have been few and far between.

    If his key strength is, and always has been, dead balls and he can't do that anymore it is time for him to fook off. As part of a midfield trio, you're pretty screwed if you're one of the other 2 and bound to get knackered quicker with the windmill beaing a headless chicken, gifting the ball away. I'd much rather gardner in ahead of him whilst we sort out our midfield options, but hopefully one of banega or bridcutt join......or both.

    Can't remember him having a good game this season. Saying that, can't remember him conributing anything.

    The most overated player at the club.

    I would immediately release him from his contract to free up his no doubt substantial wages.

    Agreed, thought Ki looked shattered and his passing reflected that, would have brought Gardiner on earlier
