2017/18 Morgan Schneiderlin

[Nymzee]

He didn't necessarily play bad but didn't play well either. He was a nothing player. Like just there to make it look like we had 11 on the pitch.

 

[Big Fat Sam]

God I hate this fella. His suspected bad character was proven by his training ground antics. Started the season horribly, and still performs like he is running in quicksand. His first thought it always to play the ball backwards, which kills any potential attack and often leads to us coming under pressure as Martina and Williams are simply unable to play the ball nicely out of defence. Would happily see Schneiderlin sold. Davies is better, even McCarthy is better.

 

[jceverton]

For gods sake ship him, McCarthy, Besic and Klaasen out. Bring through Williams, Walsh, Connolly and Baningime.

 

[Moomin]

Wow, the majority of people slating him here are the same ones slating @davek when he said at the time of his signing that he was not all that.

 

[Niapper]

replace with carvalho

I am guilty of this.

BUT AT LEAST I CAN ADMIT IT

 

[bullybeef]

I’ve given him chance after chance but after a half decent start when he first came he has proven to be sub standard.

Move him on if we get a decent offer.

Dave’s always right.

We’ll see it again when Martinez wins the World Cup this summer. Dave has spoken.

In fairness he was playing well at the time and justified the praise. His drop in form since then has been on par with Koemans..... got to give @davek props though, he called both of them for what they turned out to be from the very start.

 

[Joey66]

For me he stood out in the first half as the poorest of a team of under performers.

every pass was backwards or sideways any hint of a forward pass was wayward - He was at walking pace many times and their attackers breezed passed him a waste of space - Tom davies did more in 5 minutes than he did all the time he was on the pitch - I would find it hard to select him for the bench tbh!

 

[gianthogweed]

His form has been consistently poor he needs to sort his head out anyone can play a sideways pass then hide
at the moment he is stealing a living and a starting position at the expense of better players (Davies)

Every manager flops eventually.

Looking at the table the other day (before Liverpool played), and there wasn’t a team outside the top 6 that Koeman had lost to this season.
The fixture list did for Koeman, he wasn’t a terrible manager by any stretch.

Koeman appears to be a manager that thrives off momentum and confident happy players. The fixture list was brutal at the start of the season and he didn't know how to lift the players when they were low and ride the storm out. it was a tough start but there were winnable games in there that he still couldn’t get a result from. I don’t know much about his managerial career before Southampton but didn’t his time at Valencia end very similar? I’m sure had the opening 4 games been against West Ham, Huddersfield, Newcastle and Swansea he'd still be in the job.

As long as he wears the shirt - something he shouldn't' be doing IMO - we have to support him.As far as I'm concerned Bank home is by far a better footballer going forward, a better tracker and a better holding midfielder. At the moment I suspect that Allardyce likes Schneiderlin, as he has started him, because he is defensive in his first thoughts and doesn't try anything adventurous. I also suspect that Allardyce will be wanting more from him offensively. If he can't deliver that he will be replaced.

 

[Ameen]

Takes the ball in the middle, spins, plays it back. Rinse and repeat.

He makes it look classy because he's a natural on the ball but we don't need a player like him in the team at the moment.
