Personally think the transfer request has played a large part that perception, think a lot of it is a player just going through his first run of poor form.

I try and look at him during positive and negative plays (meaning mostly goals for and against) and it may be that he's just not an emotionally reactive player but since that request I feel he hasn't shown the right responses or much response at all to be more correct. If we don't get a result Wednesday the rest of the season will be a general malaise for me so I can't be too upset about attitude lol.

Needs a rest.

As does anybody over-criticising a 21yo defender or considering selling him. Please go lie down.

exactly. Rest him, don't drop him. He's a fine player though I do worry that Martinez is not the best manager for him.

let's support him.

Too casual in his play and it's become symptomatic of how we defend.

 

[StuBarlow]

He needs dropping. The lads head is all over the place.

He went mental celebrating with Naisy the Chelsea game and was delighted at Bournemouth with Ross...just before they equalised. Tbh probably a good idea if all our players, especially our defenders, kept their cool a little more after we score and just concentrate until the game is over.

Even if we don't get the result on Wednesday there is still the FA cup to look forward to - try not to let Everton get you down too much mate even if they are extremely skilful at it

What a change in some people's opinions in a mere 6 months

This needs to be sung wed night. Give the lad some support that we are still behind him

 

[quasi modo]

Drop him and the others out of form.

Drop him and the others out of form.

That would leave Barry and Jimmy the kitman.

Lose Wednesday and I dread to think what the attitude of our 'golden generation' will be for the rest of the season. The overdrive for players to move (rom, Barkley, stones and Gerry) will only intensify. Thank goodness there is the euros at the end of the season so players will still have to put a shift in to catch the eye of their national managers.

I get the feeling he feels he is too good for us and is pandering to all those in the press who are building him up.

He seems to try and be a smart arse all the time. Quality footballer obviously, but there is a time and a place, and it's not in your own 18 yard box.

I try I really do but they just break my heart better crack one .

Jimmy would do better than the other clowns.

How do you discern 'rest' from 'drop'?

I don't think he wants to be here. Am convinced a transfer request is coming as soon as possible in the off season.
