Time to think about his place in the side? Stinking the place out with his attitude, body language and Neanderthal style of football. He's not the only one with a massive hangover still from last season but today, he epitmised everything that is wrong with us at the moment.

Be careful, some will take offence. He maybe our skipper but his positional play is awful and his need to go long at every opportunity. I’d bench him

I’d bench him I'm just waiting for the 'He's our best player ever and beyond reproach when it comes to criticism'. He's a massive part of the problem and it's not disrespectful of him to say so.

he's been terrible for 18 months now. Slow positioning all over the shop distribution shocking, when was last time he played a pass to one of our players instead of twating it downfield for the opposition to claim and renew pressure on us, he offers nothing at all from our own set plays, when did he last get a head on the ball from our corner or free kick let alone score

When he’s good he’s very good but when he’s bad he’s absolutely shit. Thankfully he’s had many more good games than bad but I would probably agree that his place needs considering. He looks leggy, lazy and easily beatable when he’s at his worst.

We're going into the season with possibly the worst centre backs in the league. Unbelievable. We've been saying it for ages. GR will now know it.

Not a leader. Head down as soon as going gets tough. Great player for us but playing on reputation nowadays.

Shawcross was given a new contract out of pure sentimentality because of the inept running of our football club. Total laziness of our transfer team to put in the hard yards in scouting and recruiting young players with potential!

Its not just his defending he really looked uncomfortable on the ball today when put under pressure. How we could have done with signing Chester.

How is it that all of the shit players that got us relegated are considered good enough to get us promoted? They certainly haven’t improved they’re just another year older.

He was once a decent player
But his legs have gone
He is not up with the pace of the game
He is a liability

BMI and Shawcross both wearing lead boots and just not sufficiently intelligent. They both stunk the place out today. Time to rethink.

Needs someone quick and contrasting next to him to help him out.
That is not BMI who is slower and less comfortable.

Post by superheroantonius on Aug 5, 2018 18:02:08 GMT
Yep he is past it
Apparently Ashley Williams is past it too
So we are getting him in
Why go for pace and players on the up ?
Fletcher Williams Adam shawcross ...if you past it and unfit , get yourself over to stoke , and earn millions turning stoke into the new Sunderland

He’s getting worse.
None of this should be a surprise to anyone.
Although it seemingly is to stoke.

Come on guys, lets' be balanced. He has been a legend and deserves respect.
That doesn't mean that we don't need a new CB and havent for some time.
Its not his fault that management has not done its job and recognised his falling standards and effectiveness and increasing liability.

Williams in, Shawcross out. Not only is his distribution terrible, but his positioning is atrocious too on today’s showing.

I've been saying we needed a new defence for 2 years. Shockingly slow, no communication between them (Ryan is defiantly no captain) can't turn quick to save their lives, can't pass. I could go on.

He needs to realise that his best days are behind him and do the decent thing. Before he tarnishes his reputation and .long standing respect from the fans.
