2017/18 Morgan Schneiderlin

EFCPaul · January 20, 2018

Summed up entirely when deep into stoppage time and chasing a winner, receives the ball with 10 yards of space around him. Jogs forward a few paces, turns around and then passes it to someone behind him who was trying bomb on.

If it had been him who'd broken his leg today I wouldn't have even clapped him off, I'd have waved. Arrogant arsewipe of a player.

Still don't know what he offers the side atm.

He is very limited on the ball. His defending is ok. Think Coleman needs to come back in now.

I dont argue that at all. He needs to develop, no question. As far as the problems about today in the quote i was responding to, he was in a way problem #17 out of many. Many other issues that stood out to me that are far more pressing. Work rate and effort for me are attributes I want my players to have. Some of ours are seriously laking that.

we need to offload him and get in a proper DM. I thought he was a good signing, but he doesn't anchor at all, which is what i thought he was good at. We miss a barry type. Today williams goes with his man up to the half way line and we're left with a massive gap which they exploited. Carbon copy of spurs' first goal where jagielka wandered out following his man.

Whether it's the defender's fault or not, i don't know, but when barry was here, he'd always drop in to to cover the centre back if they wandered out. Schneiderlin doesn't do that whatsoever, and that's where most of our problems lie. Lack of protection for what is a patched up defence of two youngsters playing alongside an over the hill centre back and a terrible right back playing left back.

Has not impressed recently , seems to have lost all positional nouse and his passing is not great

I honestly don't see what he brings to the team, offers nothing going forward, doesnt shield the backline, basically gets the ball once in a while and passes it sideways,.then goes missing.

Very telling comment from Graham Beacroft on the radio :

" You can see why Man U let him go, as he doesn`t do anything particularly well "

Sums him up at the mo perfectly.

Not good enough, should never play again.

Lapeno77 · January 20, 2018

He should try a new career to which he is more suited. Maybe a still life model for a blind art school perhaps.

Gareth Barry is still a far better than him.

ToffeeTim · January 20, 2018

Got absolutely schooled by Barry today. Was up very high today and had a great view. He constantly runs into positions where he's marked to avoid getting the ball. On numerous occasions he was deeper than Williams to avoid receiving possession. Hugely fraudulent and cowardly play from a player I liked.

Literally hides behind opposition centre midfielders so he doesn't have to take responsibility.
Means our CBs are under constant pressure to play a forward / difficult pass.
Rooney comes on and plays forwards. Some didn't come off but that's what happens sometimes.
Guy needs selling. It may just be confidence but it's got to the stage here it's irrelevant. He's a hindrance to the team.

An absolutely diabolically cowardly midfielder. Ship him out as quickly as possible.

CRIMHEAD · January 20, 2018

He can spot a pass, so can Gareth Barry. Hope McCarthy being hurt doesn't stop us from dumping him. But honestly, it doesn't help when you pair him with McCarthy, who was even beyond Martina, the worst player on the pitch.
