James McCarthy

Got to be honest, I think that is the worst I have ever seen him play.

The curse of the new contract strikes again.

I thought he was worse against Watford......

An inauspicious start to his season for sure.

If you find yourself regularly agreeing with me you should take a long, hard look at yourself.

Seems so far off the pace, can understand finding a forward pass against City is difficult especially when we have no natural width but the pace at which he played slowed any forward momentum time after time.

Got to say, with how well toms started and the demi god that is besic getting fit again, James needs to step his shiz up, been poor so far this season.

He was way worse against Watford. # luxury player that ain't too luxurious

Never aware of what's around him.. Amount of times he should turn but doesn't

To be honest, I've never thought he was that good a player and was surprised when I joined the forum to see how highly the majority of people on here rated him. He's not a great passer of the ball and he doesn't chip in with many goals or assists. I know his job is to protect the back 4 but I don't see why he's so highly thought of.

Him, Barry and Cleverley in the same team - not for me.

I heard Martinez shout "Quicker Jamie" a few times too.

Started last season slowly as well, hopefully he is just a player who needs to get several miles under his belt before he can perform at his best like he did against United at Goodison.

At least we have options and currently both Barry and Cleverley look sharp.

Barry has been far better than him in the first 3 games, if anyone should lose their place in midfield it should be him.

Offering us nothing what so ever at this moment in time, and we can not afford to have him starting every game hoping he plays into form.

How he avoided being subbed to me was astounding his passing his pace his closing down ????
Not there today no creation left us with TC , and RB in a lonesome midfield Barry did his defensive role with pure effort - MaCarthy was so poor today needs to be dropped!
