What specifically makes him not a good player, out of interest? I don't think he's a good defender and I don't think he's good going forward which is what we need at full-back. Check what the manager wants š

Damn right he did, amazed this is the first Iāve seen it mentioned. Iād have ripped the pathetic excuse of a striker off for that alone, ignoring the fact he canāt win a header, canāt anticipate a bouncing ball or a second ball, hides behind defenders when heās making ārunsā, his shit first touch his ambling from off side positions when weād pressed and won the ball high up. AND THATS ALL AGAINST NORWICH! His missus was sitting in front of me. She had her ear buds in and was fiddling about with her phone all match and generally had even less interest in the game than hubby. She did take a couple of photos though. Though they could have been selfies - not interested enough to take much notice of her... She probably even got her shirt free

Edwards going off changed the game yesterday, we were well on top second half, but as soon as he went off we lost all momentum and were hanging on at the end.

Then has the gall to clap the Boothen to try to get us shouting more š I thought he was going to fire us up this season as he obviously scores goals. I just donāt know what it is. Is it stoke? We are an absolute graveyard for players at the moment. Apart from Arnie, nzonzi, Butland and to a lesser extent shaqiri (although Iād argue we didnāt improve him, just the price was too cheap to say no) when was the last time we improved a player so much they needed to move on? Weāve experimented with every type of signing and one in about 20 work. But back to afobe there is obviously goals there somewhere, scored a decent amount at wolves, admittedly struggled at Bournemouth but having looked heās only got 20 in a season ONCE. Itās beginning to look like a purple patch rather the guaranteed goals. I donāt want it to come across as witch hunt for afobe but he really fucked me off yesterday.

What's going to change my mind in that time? He's not good and yeah there's plenty of time for him to get better. No hope for you lad. No doubt you were Cafu like when you were in your prime. No, Cafu was riccyfuller93 like actually. Get it right š

Remind me again who is being paid to play football, and who is on a messageboard writing about the person being payed to play football?

How many times do we have to debunk the āAfobe scores goalsā myth? 61 goals in 257 appearances is one goal every 4 and a bit games or 11 a season. He is actually slightly worse than his career average this season- he had one good season 2 and a half seasons ago ( 22 goals in 46 games)- other than that heās been exactly like this year!

Shhhhhh, don't tell Rowett he might take him to his next club for Ā£12million.

Are players either wank or ace these days or is there still room for nuance?

I think we can all agree that Edwards is the managers biggest success story to date.
He's given him a run of games, hes clearly working on him and hes improving each week.
He looks physically more imposing than he did during 1st half of season and has improved defensively as well.
Good lad. Long way to go yet but it's nice to see a young lad come in and do well.
Edit - when I say all I obviously mean excluding Mr fuller.

No, I wouldnāt make it a witch hunt either but we were getting on top at the point he shit out of that one v one and if heād stuck his head in, who knows what would have happened. At the very least it might have redeemed him for another substandard showing. I just remember thinking Tim Krul was a very lucky lad it was only Benik Afobe running at him, as he should have been flattened there. Far too nice currently, itās not just Afobe that can be levelled at either but on that occasion I was less than impressed.
