If you analyse the speed of thought or the actual thought of our players it just sums up why we are where we are.
Hamer- 3rd choice keeper at the side that just beat us, you wonder why
Smith- scared of going forward, we had a chance to counter at 2-1 yesterday, he had open space to run into, got just past the halfway line and played an infield pass behind everyone, he's not the same player from the promotion season, we have the Chris Powell version, he's been like it since he got rinsed away at Palace last season. He's one that always seems to blame everyone else
Schindler- looks shot of confidence, they all do, seems to have lost that spark though. Gets caught out of position by the better strikers. Heaven knows what kane will do to us
Kongolo- don't know if he's a left back or a centre back and I don't think he does too, but him and schindler are our best pairing
Durm- which foot does he actually want to use? For their 2nd goal he was pairing up with Lowe on Ricardo and never even considered making a challenge. At the start of the season or when he first started playing I was a bit more understanding as I thought he could still be hesitant due to his injuries but now I'm beginning to question if his injuries have done irreconcilable damage
Hogg and stankovic--shouldn't be playing in a 2 man midfield together. Hogg doesn't have the vision or confidence to play forward, he was getting caught the wrong side often too. He's too Conservative as a midfielder and arguably needs someone proactive next to him. Think stankovic looks to go forward more than hogg but both would rather recycle possession than be brave
Mooy- not a winger, never has been, never will be. He's our best midfielder so play him there. He's the only one who could create something
Pritchard-- I've said it a few times, but I fail to see what he brings to the side, tame shots, not really creative, no real pace, looks out of place in an abysmal Premier league side
Lowe- think he's only playing left wing as there is no one else. Tbh I don't mind him out there, just he isn't quick enough to beat a man, but he might be able to get the ball in better than the others. Only problem is, he is also our best left back.
Grant- feel sorry for him, he tries, he makes runs but we aren't brave enough to find them or use his pace
Mbenza- says it all when one good cross is being lauded, has pace but I don't see much else
Mounie- not sure if it's a confidence thing or what, but he is poor and for me looks lazy and disinterested, trots around as if he's zlatan except he has the ability akin to Alan Lee. Always seems to be on his heels whenever he's around the box
I could go into the rest of the squad but I won't, yet
