Personally for me the arsehole is the bloke who starts a thread like this.
Burnley was his first bad game for us. He has had a couple of other games where he has made an error here or there but Burnley was his first bad game.
He was excellent in the recent league games particularly at home, like against Swansea, Palace, Burnley, Leicester. He’s good on the ball, which gives him an edge on our other centre back options and is particularly useful when you consider how bad on the ball Henry and Barton are.
And of course he is strong. He’s 6 foot 3 or 4 and not a skinny lad. He’s cock up with Ings was more that he switched off and was too passive in that instance. If he went in for a true shoulder to shoulder with him obviously there would only be one winner. The mistake was he didn’t do that.
Also his obvious dominance in the air is more evidence of his obvious physical strength. So to be so sure he isn’t strong is surely seen as pretty daft by anyone with an unbiased opinion.
Its one thing when to have threads like this when its about SWP, Henry or even Hoilett. Who have had poor or questionable performances over a prolonged period of time. To start throwing in threads like this looks to me like attention seeking behaviour and/or your first opportunity to jump in with some sort of bias or preconceived opinion you had of him.
