Naismith? Thoughts?

[EFC David]

Worst player I've ever seen for us by far, and I've seen some f*cking sh*te!

Worse than Vellios or Scott Gemmill? I've been disappointed with how he's done this season but I'd give him one more season before judging him.

 

[bluejock]

Why though? Been said about a million times. Same comments from same posters every weekend.


Anyway, more bothered that LOLman started and LOLnaar stayed on.

Ok, here goes.

No pace
Crap ball control
Pushed off the ball too easily
Can't pick even a simple five yard pass
Can't shoot from anywhere further out than 4 yards
Poor positional sense
Doesn't offer any outlet to his full back
I know I've said it already but he's REALLY f*cking slow

Now, if anyone would like to retort and list me some of his positives, I'm all ears. However, the phrases "good squad player" "played out of position" and "serious injury" will result in being swiftly added to my ignore list (Hi dixie7 x)

I would like to see him partner jelavic in a 4-4-2

 

[Eric Djemba-Djemba]

He's a good squad player that's being played out of position and is coming back from a serious injury.

 

[bol-uk]

Agreed
No defending him

I'd rather have scott gemmill, no question, and I'd rather Vellios came on instead of him, we cant afford another season with him as our main impact player off the bench

dont at least half of them apply to osman and pienarr

They do mate, and I've been critical of both of those most of this season too. Pienaar had a couple of good months at the start of the season but resigning him was a mistake.

Osman had a wee spell where he played quite well and then for some reason got an England cap but in the most, he's been his usual plodding self.

In an ideal world, none of the three of them would get into my starting midfield.

 

[TX Bill]

He's a poor man's Pembridge!

This.

His "layoff" for Jelavic today was more of a missile than a pass.

 

[electricblue]

Darren Fletcher used to be crap as well. Then he became excellent.

Just worth a mention that.

 

[FTY]

Him & Jelavic are boss at defending.

scott gemmill you having a laugh ,

I've not seen the game like but was it similar to the Norwich game when he rattled a 5 yard pass 30 yards past him?

BUT THEY PLAY DEAD WEEL TOGETHER THOUGH LADS

 

[fozzy]

he did find a blue shirt once today though lads which IS A VAST IMPROVEMENT!!

No....it ws just that for some strange reason the perception of Darren Fletcher changed.

He was still crap but the press told people he had become "excellent".

The same thing happened with Owen Hargreaves.

He was generally scorned and derided then had one good half of a game for England in the 2006 World Cup and his status was upgraded from crap to excellent.

When the reality was he was still crap.
