He offers experience.

In a game where experience counts for more than just giving a young lad a game.


We beat chelsea and we close 3 points on 4th. Any manager with the last man's squad chooses the experience in that scenario.
In that case let’s fetch Leon osman out of retirement
 

He bottled it against their under 16’s team so of course he’ll bottle it against what will likely be close to their first team. We simply can’t play him as he’ll be eaten for breakfast
 
I don't doubt his desire or effort ever.
But, as each year goes by the pace of the Premiership speeds up and more than anything else he lacks any kind of pace.
He simply doesn't have the pace to play in a team that isn't blessed with great pace anyway.

He ideally would like to play further forward, in my opinion, but isn't creative enough or quick enough to play there.
So, we have a willing player who lacks both pace and creativity playing out of position... what could go wrong ?

When the "experience" is rubbish, you choose somebody else.

I do; he's here for a paycheck, he knows it and the supporters know it.

Every week he goes through the motions.

The only thing that drives me insane is that Carlo keeps picking him.

That I don't understand.

For a long time I'd have agreed, but recent weeks it's like he's hiding from the ball. Agree he definitely would prefer to play higher up but ultimately his legs have completely gone. he used to have a quick step on his first touch that can see him manoeuvre out of situations but he just doesn't have it anymore.

As crap as Tom Davies is, he never hides away. Possibly my biggest hate in football barring diving/cheats. Take responsibility on the ball. Bernard gets grief but at least he doesnt shy away from the ball and will try make stuff happen. Can't be said for Siggy.
 
How horrible is it going to be when this half arsed bell is leading the team out at Goodison again on Monday. It will be disgraceful. He epitomises everything that’s wrong with this team at the minute. He’s supposed to be a leader setting the example FFS.

You don't doubt the desire or effort of a player who sprinted a grand total of 4 times in 90 minutes? 0 tackles, 0 interceptions? You don't question that player?
 
One of our many problems is a lack of a "personality" to show example on the pitch. A certain team not far away have one who is injured and they are losing games. All our players are anonymous on the pitch. Priority purchase for next season - a leader.
