I think the football being boring one is the least weird criticism, but I take your point. Nit picking every element to to boost a narrative is not the sign of a sound view, and neither is ignoring all the good of which there is plenty.

Sorry I'm not saying specifically that those are weird criticisms, I'm saying it's weird that those elements of his style are getting so much.. er.. dislike (not allowed to say hatred). I think back on Nigel Pearson who was the king of the 1-0s and people didn't dislike him (while he was here). He was also stand-offish with the media like Grant! But Rosie is warm and well spoken and people dislike it. Very odd.

Twine has played a good number of games in his career all over the forward line. Probably as many either wide right or left as in his central role.

He isn't merely a 10 and that's it.

He won’t be a 10 here unless Traore leaves. And you have completely ignored the point I was making.
 
I would like to know what on earth you’re on about. Traore is already our number 10 for this season. They can’t share it.

You are aware that players can start different games, right?

If Traore is injured for example, we don't have to wheel him out as our designated number 10.

EDIT: Oh you're making a joke about his shirt number. Cute.

Plenty absolutely did dislike Nigel Pearson!!! However, many of those seemed to at the same time respect him as a good manager who got the best out of what he had. I didnt particularly like him but recognised that he was a damn good manager.
I'm not aware of anyone who hates Rosenior (your specific choice of word, own your decision) not anyone who doesn't want him to succeed.

<laugh> I will own it because plenty on here do absolutely hate him. Because they haven't used the word doesn't make it any less so. Quite amusing those who have taken issue with my wording though.. ;) Just need Kalman to pop in to complete the set.
