Worst United captain and worst buy of all time. Someone make a thread to that effect please.
I made a thread suggesting we cut our losses on him & was swarmed for it by the top reds.Worst United captain and worst buy of a time. Someone make a thread to that effect please.
Haha I'm taking the piss there was a thread with that exact title that just got shutI made a thread suggesting we cut our losses on him & was swarmed for it by the top reds.
I've come from really not liking this guy to almost hating him. I can't stand the look of the ugly fecker. Mediocre trash.I really, really don't like this guy

I literally made a thread with the above notes and it was locked... lots of his supporters around here. I bet you any money if he wasn't English he wouldn't have many supporters. The guy is an absolute waste of everything. We will win nothing with him. No ambition at this club.I made a thread suggesting we cut our losses on him & was swarmed for it by the top reds.
I think that's a very fair assessment and I think many would have a hard time arguing against that.Not necessarily directly at fault, but the limitations really show with this guy. Glacial speed for the second goal, and he’s a yard behind everyone else on the set piece.
A decent, but fundamentally not great CB?
But did he have a good game? He’s part of a defence, the supposed leader of it, and we’ve conceded another three goals. Have you ever watched him do a piece of defending that’s won us a game of football? Everton’s whole game plan was designed to run in behind him and Lindelof, and it worked.Unfairly being blamed imo. Didn’t have a bad game at all.
Smeg by name...World's most expensive fridge. That is all.
So stupid. Took DCL wide for a cross that never should have lead to anythingPeople moaning about him not being quicker than DCL and for going to the floor when being foul and kicked in the calf. Brilliant
The transfer fee was one thing, but the captaincy is another. He’s really going to be tough to budge any time soon.I think that's a very fair assessment and I think many would have a hard time arguing against that.
He's decent, but is ultimately upgradeable.
He started ahead of him, there is no way he should of not been 1st to that ball.People moaning about him not being quicker than DCL and for going to the floor when being foul and kicked in the calf. Brilliant
Yup, he did what any sensible defender would do when up against someone that is faster then them.So stupid. Took DCL wide for a cross that never should have lead to anything
That's what I've been saying since day one! We were desperate looking for a CB and overpaid for an overhyped english player (as usual, just like we were gonna do with Sancho)He has quality in certain areas but he’s an Everton, Villa, Wolves level defender. Leicester even! Played a great line for their winner. feck me.
That’s criminal.Tweet

Did he have a good game? I don’t know to be honest, I don’t think he had a bad game, much the same as many of our players but he wasn’t at fault for us dropping points in my view.But did he have a good game?

Its worse, its amateur.That’s criminal.
I don't think many hate him, even those who criticize him. "Hate" is a pretty strong word to use for your team's player. I'm just annoyed that he can have several very good matches then when he's off form, he's really off form. he drops stinkers when it happens and unfortunately, seems to cost us every time.I don't hate the guy like a lot of you, think he's generally an alright player but he really does have an error or 6 in him on a bad day. What on earth was that performance.
The problem is the defence and he’s the captain of it. He should be the one leading it, he isn’t even coming close.Did he have a good game? I don’t know to be honest, I don’t think he had a bad game, much the same as many of our players but he wasn’t at fault for us dropping points in my view.
I’m probably fighting a losing battle based on the overwhelming majorities view in this thread, I think it’s so easy to come on here and criticise him as being the problem because of the amount we paid for him and being captain, the problems lay elsewhere from where I’m at watching.
