hes had more than enough chances and needs moving on
me thinks
Nah I watched him all warm up. He looks a shadow of his former depressed down in the mouth self!
He was knocking balls around with supreme confidence and showing people his silky skills (which are quite impressive still). He even smashed a few in the net (which can't be said about a few others). When you watch him, he has that agression that Faddy has on the ball like he owns it.
Deffo worth a place in the side. I would have liked to have seen jags taken off today, Pienaar pushed infield and VDM on the left. Even for 15 minutes. Instead he brought Yobo on and pushed Baines up left. Not a bad decision, but there was nothing too risky about giving Andy a crack at it today.
Bit amazed he left Jags on so long, to be honest(and I've said it before in other threads) he looked a mile out of his depth. Taking far too long on the ball, unable to see the game around him develop so was chasing like a blue arsed fly to nowhere or stood rooted to the spot as the ball flew around him.
I counted eight, yes EIGHT times he was given the ball and was either dispossed(easily), intercepted or passed to a red shirt.
He might just need more time, but at this level we really can't afford to give him much more.
We REALLY cannot afford to play Jags and Nev in midfield together, they just cancel each other out and can't pass for [Poor language removed]:blink: .
So yeah, give VDM a shot in the side he can't be anymore useless than Jags at the minute and is a more natural replacement than pushing Baines up(who floundered here and there in his more attacking midfield role and ended up not really knowing where to put himself in the end).
Come on Andy, time to come good son or ship out!
