Cresswell is one of a cluster of players who, come January, should not be anywhere near the first 18 on a matchday. If he is, well, go figure. As much as I like the fella's endeavour, he hasn't done anything out wide. He was average at best in the CCC, what does Pulis expect to see in him at PL level?
If the guy is going to be given a chance, it should be in his preferred positioin, he can then live or die by his performances there. Not that he's anywhere near good enough.
Pulis likes and obviously rates him, but if he thinks he's a better option than Tonge or Soares he's thick.
If Cresswell left tomorrow, where would he end up? A lower half CCC club??

bayern, if you read my post I said "in my opinion Cresswell shouldn't have made the bench" so I agree with the fact that people are moaning (and have been all season) about Cresswell, however this is TP's first mistake this season and I think the bench (as stated) was very poor on Saturday. How can it be his first mistake of Cressy has been getting the nod all season? ??? I add Amdy Faye to many mistakes too

Cresswell is shit bayern, and TP may be wrong to keep playing him. But he got us to the Prem playing Cresswell so I won't slate him for making that decision. COCK.

This thread all suggests that Cressy isn't the man for the job. But we have to consider the positions he's played in over the last few seasons? It couldn't have been easy to play in an unfamiliar role week in and week out when he and many others believe his best position is striker. He's never been an impact player so his credentials were alway going to rely on goals and if you try to mould a player to your own requirements, as Pulis has done in this case, then he will never be able to perform to his true potential. I don't think he is good enough but thats as far as it should go. The buck doesn't stop with him rather with Pulis.

I don't think that you can ever blame a player for not being good enough. As long as he gives 100% then that's all you can ask and I'm sure Cressy does that.
Fact is, he's out of his depth, and yes, the blame for him being on the bench, and even worse, on the pitch, when we have spent umpteen-millions of pounds on signings designed to improve the squad, lies squarely at Pulis' door. He sees something in him that thousands of others don't.

the fact is Richard Cresswell does not look like he knows what to do with a ball when he gets possession at this level. his first touch is poor, his distribution is poor, he seems incapable of beating a defender, he's got no pace, he hasn't looked likely to score a goal in the premiership.
oh yes, .....he tracks back....alot
let's face it, last season he made a useful contribution with goals, but even at that level he never looked convincing, I can't remember coming from a single game and picking Cresswell as my MOTM.
it's very frustrating to see and i feel sorry for him really. the fans have been very tolerant and supportive towards him so far, probably as a response to the undoubted commitment he gives in each and every game.
if he is still on the bench by the end of the season then I am afraid we are probably doomed. we need better options than this.
