He drives me crazy with his obsession of passing the ball backwards when an attack is on😡Yes his defending has improved of late but this part of his game is so bastard frustrating

I'm a big fan of him taking 20 minutes to take a throw in.

I've said it for ages now that we must be the easiest team in the world to defend against and we are a complete embarrassment of a team for the level we are playing at. |

I thought he was about our best player today.
It's not him that kills the momentum, there's zero movement.

I agree there’s hardly any movement in our team but he picks the easy option time after time |

"Chumpo" hides, never supports him. I have no doubt Pieters doesn't trust a single player played in front of him this season and I don't blame him. He's left hung out to dry by Moting every time he plays and Jese wasn't much better. |

He's about number 6 on our list of 'things to worry about'.

It is difficult when the only option is to pass to a blok whose not interested in turning and just wants to take a touch and give it you back. Erik seemed to want to put the ball over choupo into space but that bone idle git didn’t seem interested.

I thought he was about our best player today. It's not him that kills the momentum, there's zero movement. It's both. He often passes backwards without even bothering to look forwards. His very first thought when the ball comes to him is to turn around. He's not good enough and hasn't been for 2 years. |

I thought he was about our best player today. It's not him that kills the momentum, there's zero movement. He wouldn’t know if there was any movement, he doesn’t ever get his head up and look. He’s constantly on auto pilot, receive ball, turn around and face own goal, decide if the keeper or centre backs are the best option. |

He had nothing on and the ball usually takes two years to get to him, which doesn't help. |

I agree there’s hardly any movement in our team but he picks the easy option time after time That's because like many others in our squad he is piss poor on the ball, so add this to all the other reasons I've already stated and you have your answer. Well in my opinion anyway  |

You seem to have missed that Pieters was the creator of our goal today.

Only interested when the ball happens to find its way to him. We've got far too many crap players. |

Is there a worse crosser of a ball in all 4 divisions?

Where else is he supposed to go, when there is zero movement at all?

Clearly an agenda over pieters here.
Ryan was the same
Zouma was the same
Fletcher is a fucking disgrace
Allen was awful
Moting even at a free is overpriced
Jese abysmal
Diouf the same as fletcher
But no let’s pick on pieters

I think I saw him attempt 7 crosses today and am sure all bar 1 was flat on the ground to them. I now just wait for the shit attempt |

Pieters isn't the biggest problem with this team. Certainly not a wing back, but thought he did Ok today, the lack of crossing and penetration on his side of the pitch was more down to Choupo Moting, who flatters to deceive.

But I think today we need look at the bigger picture. The lot of them were abysmal. Nobody was more frustrated thsn me at pieters at times but our movement was non existent |

Arnie was the only player we had that was willing and able to take his man on
All that's left behind is gutless mercenaries that care more about getting paid than keeping us up, they'll all be gone come august
I realise the irony, that we claimed Arnie left for the money, which he probably did but at least he gave a shit while he was here, he kept us up last season on his own
This post is relevant in this thread because we don't have momentum, we ramble through games aimlessly, those players are counting down the seconds until they can leave, we're just a means to an end for them, any fight and pride we had left was fucked off with Whelan and Walters
