lol

Jesus wept.

THIS is what you've come up with. 4 lost corners ?? and losing 4/6 50-50 balls (where astonishingly he was nearly 50% in) Do you understand what you've wrote here.

So this is why you've come to the conclusion why McCarthy was ' horrendous ' at the weekend ?

Okay mate.

Woe betide anybody who criticises the Ginger one.

This thread won't do your karma any good.

You honestly think that his performance against WBA was that horrendous ?

Horrendous? No not at all. But he is not performing very well. He is just off form that's all. People have noticed and are just commenting on it. Don't think anyone is suggesting he is useless or the like.

Well, in that case, Jimmy already has a thread on here. Still, starting a thread to declare "(he's) not impressed" is not at all over the top, honest.

No because its a current topic about his form so people are commenting whereas the other thread contains numerous different topics albeit about McCarthy. Couldn't get any clearer about the topic of this thread. Its a singular topic.

Okay mate.

How many people have said he was horrendous? if any. Are you just trying to add fuel to the fire?

It's a knee-jerk, that's what it is.

I'm not alone in thinking it either - look at the op's rep, thanks to this thread.

The system we play is failing him a bit at the moment and he isn't playing brilliantly. Everyone is in a bit of a daydream on the pitch at the moment. He amount of times he's carried us last season, he deserves carrying for a couple of games at least before we start wading in with criticism I'd have bought.

No mate.

Something I do wonder though: We have McCarthy, Coleman, and McGeady all from Ireland. They're all pretty ace.

Yet, Ireland are still awful?

We fielded the Aston Villa goalkeeping coach in a friendly. I hope this helps.

You could say the OPs rep is due to a hero figure being criticised. Some people take it personally whereas its an opinion which holds substance to many.

Well you've mentioned Awful, Gash and Terrible since Saturday, so the fire is burning quite well already.

Clearly many, many more think it's a load of crap.

Take McCarthy out at your peril. His average is most people's best. He was exceptional last season, so anything short of that is perceived as poor form.

I think you're bang on with this mate, think he will be back to his best soon.
