I still cant see us finishing lower than 5th but I totally agree with you about our midfield.SteveO 35 wrote: ↑Sun Dec 10, 2017 4:35 pmWe're just about clinging to 5th place, until Christmas comes and Liverpool give us another rinsing at the Bowl. Then it will be 6th or lower for the rest of the season which is about right for the team we are.
Xhaka and Ramsey shouldn't be getting a game in any top half PL team, let alone supposed CL contenders. I don't think we've had a weaker central midfield since GG's latter days. I watched the pair of them today - Ramsey was virtually anonymous when we were getting overrun in the first half and in the second half did everything he could to slow down any attacks we did have with 3 extra touches. As for Xhaka......he must be laughing all the way to the bank as he's an absolute imposter of a player, and probably our worst midfielder for decades.....and yes I put Denilson on that list ahead of him. Even the mid 90s robots Hillier, Jensen, Morrow, and Selley could at least tackle and had some sort of defensive credibility. This fucking wanker of a coward we've signed tackles at best like a lumbering ox and at worst like some snidey mock hardman in the mould of a Robbie Savage. Can't pass, can't shoot, can't tackle - absolutely fucking useless. I detest the useless lump almost as much as that pitiful helmet wearing goon we have between the sticks
Is Xhaka the Swiss Peter Nicholas? Or is that being too harsh to the Welshman ?
