maxjackle Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 I can't understand why he didn't come in today. It has to be something in training as it seemed obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a good trait for a manager to hold grudges. Gerrard punishing a player for throwing a tantrum ....oh the irony !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be the only option given his limited pitch time since he has been here. Can't imagine there would be much of a fee tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfc1982am Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 I'm actually feeling sorry for him. A great game against Utd other than the back pass and now shunned whilst watching our midfield look absolutely piss poor. I'd be off if I was him. CL experience and he can't get a sniff in our team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 I really hope he takes his chance next week. I wish we could drop McGinn and Luiz as both deserve to be dropped. I assume it'll only be one of them. I hope it's McGinn because he needs to be dropped the most. He's playing in his preferred position yet is playing terrible.

sidcow Posted February 13, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted February 13, 2022 He'll be off in the summer. Looks like Gerrard is not interest in playing him unless he has literally no other choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevpants Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 I expect him and Chuk to start against Watford. Even if he's been shite in training McGinn and Luiz have played themselves out of the team for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Sanson had a great game vs Man U except for the back pass is a popular myth. He made at least one more mistake in that game which was just as bad, but where Martinez saved after Sanson played the ball directly on Elanga (beginning of 2nd half). He also got bypassed numerous times out wide, often through 1-2s, and struggled to recover. Caused the unnecessary free kick which led to their first goal. All that could be forgiven if he had contributed something going forward, but he didn’t. No need for conspiracy theories. He hasn’t had many chances but there’s a reason for that. However, now that Gerrard promised upcoming changes he could get another chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And being bypassed through 1-2s is not the fault of a player but the team. And mcginn would also have absolutely given that free kick away. It was in a nothing area where nothing should have come from it. We were under pressure and giving away a free kick would let us get organised vs the worst set piece team in the division.

Popular Post nepal_villan Posted February 14, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 14, 2022 He was a 30M player we signed at a heavy discount as his contract was running down. He played regularly in the Champions League and Marseille fans tried to burn down their training ground when he left. Yet he is not good enough to get a run of games for a bottom-half Premier League side. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Managers say things they don’t mean. They talk about how players are important to give them hope and make them work harder, but that doesn’t have to mean they’ll play much. Like with VDB or Lingard at Man U or Saul at Chelsea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
