Yes, they are. I think the point made was that we all face criticism in our jobs if we perform badly. The difference is, I get paid less to deal with mine. They get paid the big bucks because of the industry they're in, therefore should expect to face it when it comes. On the flip side, the are hero worshiped when things are going well, so tanking the rough with the smooth is just a part of their lives. Whilst getting 100's of thousands per week....
 
He's definitely lost a yard or two of pace since his injury. He used to take defenders on all the time and beat them to the by-line. Now he seems hesitant, even reluctant, to try. In his mind, he might already know he can't do it any more. Same with his defending -- he's having to play farther off the man to make up for a drop in pace in case the opponent tries to go by him, resulting in more crosses coming in than before as he can't close them down quickly enough. Like a lot of the other players, he seems caught in two minds right now.

Think it's even more obvious with his defending. It sucks, but think it's true.
 
Its sad if he's on the decline, but hopefully he's just off form.Even Seamus is not untouchable, but it's too early to write him off, and if he's dropped or phased out, I'm sure it'll be done with a lot of respect because of his loyalty and passion for the blues. Do people really think that Kenny has no potential and no chance of ever improving? I don't understand why he's not given a chance on here, and people assume there's no alternative to Coleman. Don't forget, every young player who played last year should be given a chance to try again because we had no tactics, coaching and BFS and Sammy Lee here, so nobody developed or improved.
 
Clearly, Seamus is not the same fella since the horrible injuries. His pace was one of his main attributes, but that's gone unfortunately with the knock on effect of him lacking the confidence to go forward he had. He mostly passes back or turns back...one instance last night lead to confusion between him and Pickford which caused danger and also friction between the two players. As unhappy we are with the situation, its clearly nothing like the way hes feeling and Marco Silva needs to assess the way forward as we need his old head back given the new players who are bedding in. Hope he achieves it as hes a good lad.

Don't think he's been abused,do you? The odd groan now and again hardly counts.

Maybe injuries have have taken a toll, however, the style of play, we are much up the pitch pressing these days. Silva way of doing things was always going to cost us goals.. To be honest I was not overly impressed with Digne against Newcastle or last night defensively, but on reflection, we will always get caught out pressing so high.
 
I hope it's just a patch of poor form, as he is a wonderful character to have in the side.

If its transpires to be a decline, we MUST sign a right back. I like Kenny but at this stage is nowhere near the level required (top 6 aspirations).

Arsenal have Bellerin, Spurs have Trippier, City have Walker, RS have Trent laaaa, Chelsea have Azpilicueta. Kenny is not even close.

That fella from Palace still doing the business?
