Getting shown up tonight with the double up on the left. Barnes is never going to help him out though. Maybe the Boga about isn’t too bad after all 

People can talk about whether the lad is good enough, if he'll ever be good enough, if he needs a loan etc, but this post is nonsensical. How can you be shown up by a double up? Our tactics are being shown up, but you can't say a player being doubled up on by an in form winger and a top quality right back is being "shown up"

How can you say a player is being shown up because our tactics have allowed him to be doubled up on? Not rocket science is it  Very few players are going to be able to deal with two players all game.

Because I was pointing out that it was happening? He is being doubled up on and it’s making him look all the worse for it. Don’t quite get your point mate. Seems like bigger points to be had about us at the moment than picking on this one.

Other who take care of Trippier?

 

Thomas is having to try and deal with Almiron and there is no one else in the area at all that could try and cover Trippier

Exactly. Barnes should have been tracking Trippier. Thomas can’t win

But that's a fault of the tactic, not the player, surely you understand that. Its irrelevant to the players performance and all to do with the tactics that allow it. And yeah there are bigger points, but you're the one who came in here and made this one originally so not sure why you're pulling me up on it

Are you alright mate? Really don’t get where you’re coming from since you’re making the same points as me. Bizarre

I'm not. You literally said he'd be shown up. Shown up means, the lack of quality of someone is laid bare for all to see, buts that's not what's happening if the player has been hung out to dry by the tactics

it hurts watching him

no speed, no physicality, no creativity

you could make a drinking game out of him, down a shot everytime we lose possession after one of his throw ins or long balls

Genuine thanks for reminding me what time it is!!

Don’t think I’ve ever seen an academy product and supposed fan give less of a shit. ****ing jogging about for an opposition goal yet again.

I’m sure I read he was an Arsenal fan as a kid.

Been absolutely horrendous today, constantly giving the ball away and outmuscled by every opponent; doesn't even look fazed or bothered by it. 

[Blanchflower78]

Take him off NOW!!!

[funkyrobot]

Absolute liability today. Feel sorry for the lad. 

[Sampson]

We’re going down if we keep playing him, never going to be good enough to be a PL player.

[Paninistickers]

Poor lad. That was astonishingly bad. He directly set up 7 attacks for them 

[frany104]

Rubbish. Sell him

[shilton_fox]

Lightweight. Not good enough.

[Blanchflower78]

Not fair on the lad now, he's well off the required level. 

[RowlattsFox]

And people said we didn't need a left back in the summer. Feel sorry because he will have a decent football league career but has nothing a modern full back needs. 

 

 

[somebum]

Rodgers clearly playing him to make a point about lack of money since he's spunked it up the wall. Childish idiot 

[lcfcell]

absolutely miles off premier league standard

[Staff]

Way out his depth ATM, just no confidence. Then again neither has castagne who looks a shadow of himself since his facial injury 

[Hamilton Fox]

I’ve been slating him all today but at least he might do alright next year in the championship
