Three games in to the season I still thought the same. But since then the guy has been shocking. Not just poor or had bad luck, the guy has been absolutely crap! Giving the ball away more times in a match than he's finding a City player? It's shocking! Why the hell hasn't he been dropped? And people can say "ohh he's had an injury that he's been carrying..." If it was that bad he wouldn't be playing and he would be getting it seen to. At the moment the guy is useless! Is he untouchable or what? Cause he needs to sit down on the bench for a few matches.
I'm not just picking on him for last nights performance, as I've said he's been useless for most of the season. I do think he's a good player but he needs dropping asap in my opinion.

I've not seen him give less than 100% and think he would thrive as one of two central midfielders in an orthodox system that doesn't include 7 defenders.
Yes he's had poor games but name one of our players that hasn't. It's as much a case of us making him look shit than anything else.

We're making him look shit? That's a new one to me. Because he was playing shite under Hughes as well.
I've lost count of the amount of times I've been sat at the match and he's passed the ball to a player from the other team. Whether he's out on the left wing or stood in goal surely he can remember how to pass??

And he was far from shit at Villa, hence the signing.
So if he was excellent at Villa and shit since he signed for us (in your opinion) then where does the problem lie?

Could be because of injury but imo its probably because of it being world cup year. Personally i think he is just trying to cruise through the season so he can get to the world cup injury free.
I'd lay money he's 20x better next season than this.
