I think you are spot on, particularly where I sit in the Trinity Road Stand, when there is a misplaced pass, poor shot or mistimed tackle, they are up in arms. I don’t know if it is the same in other stands 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
commander Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 we're in the shit, maybe his experience can help us. Worth giving him a chnace if Smith deem him up to it. I like a fair few bits about Nakamba's game and I think Luiz will become a fantastic player but neither are head and shoulders above Drinkwaters (poor) performances this season. We (as a team) did well when we started with Drinkwater then bought Luiz on with about 25 mins left, maybe that could be a tactic we could try again. We're in the shit and look like we're going down - we need something to change, and kick our season back off. McGinn will help but he can't do it all on his own 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drinkwater should let his football do the talking, he’s one of very few of our squad that is experienced at this level 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have to get behind any of the bottle jobs becauses we're not allowed into the stadium. We will soon see who the training ground players Smith referred to away at vicarage. If by some miracle their disgusting form picks up, there will be some serious questions to answer. If you can't play in front of a crowd its not for you is it ? you should get a job working nights in a factory away from everyone. Drinkwater is a disgrace. He looks fit granted but he's a pro footballer not a chipendale. He could hardly move when I saw him this season. Smith should of stepped in and told him to get working on mobility and endurance and not doing 200 sit ups. Hes a joke who think's he's peter Andre. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looked in shape when he signed though, there were pictures of how ripped he was. Unfortunately his legs couldn’t keep up on match day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had he come here and given his all and performed it would have been one thing (still doesn't excuse the drink driving) but he was the worst player on the pitch in the 4 games he featured and then he went on to headbutt a teammate in training. Nice for him he has visible abs when he's off to the beach. He still has extremely much to prove here if he's to be seen as one of ours. He has 19 days and 3 games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought for sure you were going to compare Drinkwater to academy product and club talisman Jack Grealish breaking quarantine being an ass and not getting caught possible driving under the influence. Had he been a loan player and got caught driving under the influence I'd wanted him out asap and his loan terminated. That's not what happened thou.

Dave-R Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 I'm still mixed on water to be fair. People make mistakes that's a given. One thing that will happen though is if he goes out there on the pitch, supplies the goods and kicks in a winning ball all those slating him now will just magically change there tune on him. If the bloke does nothing for the remainder of his days here, he will surely be classed as a waste of a signing At the moment though I dont see how DW is any different from the many other players who have not managed to show anything great on the pitch this season.
