Yeah because that's how it works.

You're claiming Stekelenburg is crap but admit he's been good in at least the two games I mentioned.

Great logic.

As I say, it's the absence of Robles that makes him seem anywhere near better than he is.

As @ToffeeTim says. Neither are good enough.

He is crap, him having 2 good games is irrelevant when hes had plenty of awful games 'great logic'.

Steven Naismith got man of the match against Arsenal and had a great game against them, he's crap aswel and struggles to get in the Norwich side. By your logic he's a good prem player though lol

Agree, assuming he wants Schneiderlin in early to take Gana's place when he goes to the AFCON - dont want to leave ourselves short in CM

Barry's getting old mate. And Morgan is a quite capable replacement.

Cheers Mosh, humble pie all round

He will be Barry's long term replacement but he will be playing the Gana role alongside Barry when Gana goes to the AFCON.

people forgetting how good of a passer schneiderlin is too, he could easily do what barry does, but actually have the legs to run about and tackle too.

Joel Robles has had about 3 good games for us.

And about 10 bad.

lol

You make no sense to me.

My only downside to Schneiderlin compared to say McCarthy is he won't go rushing into tackles the same way. Which you do need on occasion.

But his extra passing ability and excellent positional awareness will hopefully mean it doesn't matter.

Think you are selling Sniderman short there.

I maintain he was the best CM in the league prior to his move to United.

Care to elaborate on them?

Stek has had around that many bad games for us and he's only played about 17 games.

Oh no I love him mate. And have him since very very early days at Southampton. But he's not going to put in as many crunchers.

That's all I meant.

l get you, he still works extremely hard and is probably more consistent than mccarthy, but like you say his positional play is top, and the fact he will have gana gueye alongside him long term means he wont essentially have to rush at players.
