I can't even read Irvine's interviews anymore. Not only does he make more selection mistakes than any other managed I can think of, the guy is completely deluded and full of excuses.
So some of the summer signings aren't impressing him in training... Well, those that are doing well in the training aren't actually impressing in the game. What is more important?
In an era of prima donnas, I'd assume some players do struggle to motivate themselves to train, but the fact is that a lot of these players come with genuine pedigree. Varela has only played 10 minutes and has created a goal.
What is Dorrans' minute to chances created looking like? Yet he keeps getting selected...
Against Hull, Blanco looked decent but poor against Bournmouth. But why was that? Probably because he was the spearhead of the most disjointed, defense minded midfield possible. How on earth is a creative midfielder going to do well when his passing options are 40 yards behind him?
Gamboa has looked decent when called upon. Samaras has looked decent, although wasn't even deemed good enough to start for our second XI despite playing and scoring in the Champions League last year.
They simply aren't getting a fair crack.
Ideye hasn't impressed but obviously has pedigree. It would seem Irvine's setup isn't suiting him. But what forward would it suit to be on the end of nothing but 50 yard through balls.
Irvine is the one ruining these players...
The joke continues...
