    The worst player I've seen in the premier this season. I think he touched it twice. Once on his backside and the other a shocking first touch that just went straight to them. Borini needs to play up top I think Scocco Fletch and Jozy don't deserve another second on the pitch between them. I'd play no strikers at anfield

    Scocco needs to get some game time, if he was given the time Altidore was then he'd be at least 5-8 goals up

    Far to early to judge a South American coming to the premier league after a couple of appearances. He's not even fully fit or match sharp yet, it was only pre-season where we bought him from.

    I have a feeling he will come good yet, he needs to be given time.

    Any front man coming in to the current set up would suffer, we can bleat all we like about whichever man we want up top but they will all suffer from a lack of service.

    We can't give him time it's like playing with ten men. I'm very worried. It's one thing being short of fitness, another being completely unable to get a touch of the ball

    This is the **** that we have from our 'fans'.

    A half fit, just brought from South America player doesn't deserve a minute cos he's been poor while feeling his way into the league.

    A full Argentine international.

    Bra-****ing-vo.

    'Poor'??!! He's looked like a pub player thrown into the pro's! I don't use him as a scapegoat for our issues, I'm just shocked at how bad he's looked. Nads, don't question my support, I'm justifiably criticizing a player who isn't just playing poorly, he doesn't look like a professional sportsman.

    How is it justifiable?

    'Never another second on the pitch' after about 90 mins total?

    That isn't justified, ask the Arsenal fans how long Bergkamp took to click & score.

    He's not fit, and we knew that, it's not Scocco to blame it's the idiot who didn't have a plan b.

    He did have a plan B we went 442, got the sleepwalking Ki off and we did improve for a while. Ran out of steam again late on.

    It's justifiable because even though we all knew he'd take time and wasn't fit, he just looks so much worse than we could ever have feared. He can't even get into position where someone can give him the ball man. If he is any good when fully fit, it will be a massive turnaround.

    I mean when we signed him mate, we should have been aware he was unfit and signed a second striker.

    Ok yeah I agree with you there. I've seen players lacking fitness before but he looks absolutely lost. I'm sure he'll be ok long term but isn't offering anything now and we can ill afford passengers in our plight. Our confidence is low and I only hope 3 other teams continue to be just as bad as us. Think we'll beat Cardiff swans and WBA but well need one more
