Yes, this. Some of the comments in here are hideous and disrespectful to the guy. It's the fullback curse, it's a position that needs physical sharpness and speed of thought and deed. Loads just go off a cliff or they move position, sometimes to centre half where there's less running. Not sure he's got the positional nous for that though.

Yeah, it's 100% his age. He's done at this level, seen it plenty of times over the years. Lose a yard of pace, can't get into position, can't get forward and back. Start over compensating for things which has a knock on effect to everything else.

I mean, Kenny has more assists then him this season with less game time and played 3 different positions.

Teams target him now.

So Dave you don't believe quality players can deteriorate over time? Will means nothing if his body isn't able to contend with the intense rigors of the premier league. Give him a place on the coaching staff for the academy like Baines if he still has an affinity for the club. But with the errors he commits on a frequent basis he is a complete defensive liability. Also other limitations that were even present when he was a solid player like his lackluster crossing become even more glaring when we don't have a natural left back who can provide proficient crosses and a constant offensive threat

I see scapegating going on and it's nauseating to see it - especially like Reid before him he's about the only one left who still cares.

This is the same player who put in great poerformances in the past few weeks against Leeds and Man City, so let's not talk about deterioration too much with this player.

I mean call him crap, say his legs have gone by all means but calling for him to be sacked because you dislike him and have a fetish for young players like a certain poster is over the line
 
People calling for JJ Kenny to replace Coleman, but really JJ's own attributes are not really a massive improvement.

Lampard has a MASSIVE decision to make now. Does he take a gamble so suddenly in the midst of a relegation battle and play the inexperienced but fresh, Patterson? Or does he stick with the experienced but lacklustre, Coleman/Kenny? I honestly don't know at this point. The entire backline is a shambles. If I were a Norwich, Watford or Burnley fan I'd be extremely confident at overtaking us in the league.
 

Spurs just waited for him to move forward. Conte probably had this as part of game plan. Let him come forward. We know he is finished but you can never fault his commitment. Personally i would just play him at home and this is where we see his best performances. Rest him for the away games. Then we need to bring in another right back to give competition for the young lad.
