He’s quick enough to call out everyone around him, never shuts up in fact. Why on earth Coleman just let him saunter past him without saying a word having had the lad with the ego sloppily give the ball away letting them break on us again. Had that been Davies, Holgate or even himself Delph would have been screaming and pointing.

It’s alright doing that when you are producing and feeling let down, but when your own performance is nowhere near the standard required it’s nothing short of being a loud mouthed prima dona - I have no understanding of his popularity or rapport with his teammates but balling everyone else out when you are s hite yourself is a one way journey to becoming a laughing stock. He stood off and watched most of the time, lacked intensity when required to press and was as far removed as a senior pros performance as you could ever see.

The lazy chip forward to Davies to squander possession yet again before pointing and scowling about a run he was never making to a ball he could never have reached summed it up for me. Our answer to James Milner? It’s more like having an early second stint Gravesen back again....thinking you are better than you actually are. Needs to drop the better than you’s attitude and start focusing on his own game rather than everyone else’s.

Agree with all this, I don't rate him at all. Morgan Schneiderlin at his best is far better. Unfortunately we've only seen that a handful of times, hoping that Carlo can get Morgan playing again.
 

Never seen anyone slow the pace of the game down as much as him. Everyone around me at the Burnley game was fuming every time he totally ruined an attack by turning backwards or passed the ball backwards to the same defender about five times in a row. Fine if you’re 2-1 up and trying to close a game out but totally useless if you’re chasing a game.

Also his idea of leadership is just shouting at people and throwing his weight around which doesn’t work and in my experience just makes everyone think you’re a knobhead. Not impressed.
 

Another player who in the past has impressed enough to get into a big club squad, play for his country, then comes here and flops. Walcott is another similar sort. Whether Ancelotti can get anything out of these two remains to be seen.

A poor signing. I dont get why we brought him in at all.

I really thought he´d bring some quality to us but clearly he looked decent when he played for City because of the stars around him. I also thought he´d shake his injury habits. I have no idea why I thought either of those two things.

BOOM! My problem with him precisely. Every time I watch that footage of him in the city changing room effin and jeffin about the basics of football makes me laugh so much. Then I cringed when hes doing it on the pitch. It's not leadership. It's being a loud buffoon.
