Normal service resumes. I can remember him coming on v Man. City in the cup final with 15 minutes left, holding it up well and winning us a few free kicks as we had that late rally so i don't think he'd be the worst selection. Doubt Stones would enjoy playing v him. We could really be stretched for wide options in next few weeks so would rather have a re-jig of forward line a little than having AEM right midfield again lol. Perhaps Cash will be pushed up there as he did play for Forest in that area before they pushed him back to RB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normal service resumes. I think that’s unfair. You look at my posts post game and on this thread, I have praised him when he’s plays well and called for him to start against Liverpool. At the same time I will call out when he’s shite. I think he’s been general shite throughout his career but I think as a whole. I think I’ve been fair with my assessment about him after each game he’s played. People though disagree with my overall view with him. If he starts against Man City and plays well I will say so, if he doesn’t then I won’t. This is irrelevant of the score and will take into consideration the opposition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either something like that, or he'll get injured again. It's unfortunately been the cycle. Yes I've indeed noted your comments over the last few pages and have been surprised haha. Fair play. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normal service resumes. You're bang on the money JV. It would be Kienan's luck to get thrown in at the deep end and start against City, we lose the game and the poor lad becomes the easy scapegoat and everyone says "told you so" "**** useless" etc. I hope this does not transpire. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not like we were dominating them or were on the front foot so I don't get why some people are suddenly so concerned about our formation. Just seems like an excuse to justify Smith's decision tbh. We're not suited to playing 4-4-2 at that level. We're no Burnley. You really want to see McGinn & Douglas vs Milner, Fabinho and Thiago? Having said all that my point is purely that you can at least understand Smith's decision. People are acting like he's lost the plot and we would've won the game with Davis on the pitch. Ludicrous.

Poor analogy, that is literally the only thing she's done in 95 years.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AV82 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 I certainly agree he deserved some minutes on Saturday. Hopefully Smith will give him a chance to put Dias on his arse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He came on against them at the Etihad last season when we were three nil down and cause them all sorts of problems, I think he hit the post as well which was very unlucky Edited April 12, 2021 by Follyfoot 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just joking. Whoever plays I want them to do well obviously. My opinion maybe that before, during and after the game but I do give my opinions about the match and overall separately. The real reason for my post though is if he does play shit then he deserves criticism like any other player. If he trudged around the park like Ross did last game I will slaughter him but if he plays like Davis did against Fulham I will praise him even if he doesn’t score or create an assist. Playing Man City will just make it harder, much harder for him. But he will be judged just like any player on the pitch. I just don’t think Smith will start him anyway unless we get more injuries. Just completely out of favour with Smith. Edited April 12, 2021 by nick76 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacketspuds Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 I’d start him against WBA. He deserves a chance against a team that isn’t top of the league. I don’t think he’ll be good enough but got to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
