He might well miss out. Shame what's happened this season. First the injury, then the wrong posistion, then the team out of form, then himself out of form, then discustingly fans turning on him.....

Roberto needs to get him back in the team, in his correct posistion, and let him come back into form. Only takes a good game or wonder goal and he'll be back. Form is temporary, class is perminant....as the saying goes.

......no more excuses, Chris, I just want to see him produce. We will see another wonder goal because he has that ability, I just want to see it applied week in week out.
 
Total nonsense to suggest the fans have 'turned on him'. There have been groans when he's given the ball away needlessly or played a sideways 5 yard pass to totally slow our attack down, but it's not like the lads getting boo'd when his name has been read out.
For a player in our attacking front four who neither scores or creates goals I think the fans have been remarkably patient with him.
 
He played OK against Chelsea. A couple of good through passes to Lukaku and he doesn't loose the ball. His touch and passing are on a different level to everyone else we have.

That said he's less willing to take players on or play the more difficult pass and defensively the game does pass him by a bit however it's a season where he's learning and improving his football intelligence. A bit like all young talented players. They're fearless and exciting to begin with but slowly that gets coached out of them until what you are left with is a better all round team player.

I hope Roberto continues to play him. It was the right move to drop him and might be again in the future but right now he needs minutes to develop.

He might not create or score a lot of goals but he does get a lot more attention than other players and as a result allows space for others to exploit.
 
Ross needs to slim down a bit, same as lukaku. They will both last longer and be a bit quicker in games for me.

Get these tub of lards out of our club

He's a footballing infant still though and looks to be suffering terribly with his confidence. I'm happy to make excuses for the lad until your ears fall off, because if and when he puts it all together, he's going to be terrifyingly good.
 
Ross is boss. If he was played deep he'd be runnjng games for us. As it is one of our most talented players is shunted out upfront or on the wing to make way for Grandad Barry and Naismith. How anyone can blame Ross for that I don't know. Last game we won convincingly? QPR were Ross played centre mid and we scored 3. Not off the striker, not out wide, a midfielder playing in midfield, you wouldn't think it would be difficult would you....
