He always does, can't win a single aerial duel.Pussy. Often see him wimp out of heading the ball.
He's physically shot, he has enough quality to coast through a lot of games but he used to be so powerful and quick.Generally think he’s been a better player this season but watching that game it’s clear he’s nowhere near the player he once was. Such a nonentity going forward now.
He and Martinez were awful for that goal.What a ridiculous goal to concede. What was he doing honestly
He's lost a fair bit of pace, for sure, and his agility, albeit never great, has gone to pieces. Whatever the feck he was doing for their goal is for someone else to analyse, but it was proper shite. In attack he did very little bar almost scoring a goal. He's terribly one footed, isn't he, so much so that it impairs his game, and when his agility has departed him, it means that simple passes are now beyond him as he can't twist his body enough.Generally think he’s been a better player this season but watching that game it’s clear he’s nowhere near the player he once was.

Martinez was fecked because Shaw dived in straight after his massive feck up and he had no cover for the middle which Shaw should have been instead of flat on his ass.He and Martinez were awful for that goal.
I think that’s it, isn’t it. He’s so stiff now and that’s mostly because he’s so one footed without the mobility to compensateHe's lost a fair bit of pace, for sure, and his agility, albeit never great, has gone to pieces.

Him in a nutshell only he does it every game, and it's no doubt the reason why he's stayed injury free as he's permanently stuck in 2nd/3rd gearHe's physically shot, he has enough quality to coast through a lot of games but he used to be so powerful and quick.
Even at his best he has it in him to be a lazy bastard in terms of intensity and tonight was an example
He's a liability at this stage. He's been far better than I would have expected this season, but now he's had a proper run of games, and he's shown that he's not up to a high enough level. His first touch is world class, but his defending isn't good enough; he looks slow, and as you say, he's so stiff that he's almost a liability in attack because he can't do what a player at that level should be able to - doesn't pass with his left, and isn't able to position his body for a left pass all the time.I think that’s it, isn’t it.

@goldenboy still fancy him all of next season?
Surely you saw the glaring problem with him when we play high though?Most the team were off it today.
Wrong. It was three times. Let it bounce, got bodied by Bowen which was embarrassing, and then dived into a tackle he was never making because he’s too lazy to turn and chase. He looked like a geriatric out there today. Never broke into a sprint. And that’s on top of his usual on the ball stuff which is non existent. Should have been moved on years ago, just not at the level and never has been.Shocking defending for their goal, not once but twice.
Amen brother.There’s no way we aren’t signing at least one LB this summer.
