He's not an AM, he's the alternative to Burger.
It's not his fault.

Has to be dropped for the next game.
Pearson, Burger, DJ or Bae as the midfield 3.

I don’t think I’ve disliked what seems to be such a nice bloke as much as I dislike Laurent.
Beyond woeful footballer for us.
This talk of him being a DM too. Since fuvking when? He’s an absolute fanny.

Laurent does nothing well, well not for us anyway. His best attribute imo is driving forward from slightly deeper but not as a DM. He hasn’t got the discipline or bollocks for it.

He's not too bad in and round the box either. He has to stop hiding and be braver in demanding the ball. And then of course be shitloads better with said ball when he does get it. Edit: Not much to ask really😂

As long as Burger and Pearson stay fit, he's going to struggle for minutes, isn't he?
Armband or no armband.
Johnson, Bae and Haksabanovic are all going to be banging on the door for that other midfield role - especially in games where we're going to dominate the ball and are in need of a bit of creativity.

I like Laurent but I am starting to sway the way of dropping him
When he is good he is very good, when bad he is very bad and the bad games seems to be outnumbering the good games by at least 2 to 1 which is causing our midfield to be overrun such as Ipswich.
I think if we play 3 in midfield it should be Pearson sat deep, Burger your number 8 and Bae Junho as your attacking midfielder (possibly Johnson who I rate)

If everyone is fit. You would think it would be
4 DM Pearson 6 box to box Burger 8 Johnson for away games OR 10 Bae more at home

He's definitely more of a box to box, competing with Burger than he is either a holding / attacking mid, and from what I've seen I think that spot is Burger's for now. I do like Laurent, on his day he has a great knack of getting on the end of things and popping up with a goal however I think we need someone who is far more comfortable on the ball to be alongside Pearson.

Clive Clarke was a negative aresole when last commentating at Stoke! Couldn't wait to pick fault all game.

Never considered Hakers for that midfield role. Interesting. I'm still rooting for Bae though.

If AN doesn't like dropping his captains, I wonder why he made Laurent captain, especially when the new players he brought in are better than Laurent, which means he would struggle to be 1st. choice.

It's certainly a mystery why he was made Captain but then when you look at the alternatives...Pearson would be as bonkers and I can't see past Willmott as the other option.

We have one player that stands out as captain material - Burger.
But it's too soon for him. Maybe after christmas, and then it's pointless appointing another captain in between now and then.

Yeah - I'm hoping Bae makes that role his own But quite surprising to see how much Haks has played centrally. He seems to have played 70% of his minutes in midfield in Russia. And Johnson isn't going to be pleased to be a bit-part player either.

Yep Burger, Pearson and Bae for me! I just don’t get Laurent as there is definitely a player in there! It’s just simply he seems to produce no consistency of performance?
I only see him really as box to box and not AM and as for DM as Clarke mentioned I’m just not sure really.

He doesn't look happy to me , even when he scored the two goals v Rotherham I didn't get much sense of celebration from him.'
Giving him the Captaincy looks like a real mistake , in a team with so many new players the Captain has to set the tone and lead by example on the pitch and whatever the reason his levels are way short , the away games at Ipswich and Millwall he was simply awful.
A problem the scottish ( absolutley nothing like ) Guardiola needs to resolve during the break with tough games to follow.
