He’s been terrible for more than a month now, but he keeps getting picked. I don’t get it

He's been terrible all season, he is on the Javi Garcia, Fernando and Phillips level of awful.

It’s a terrible watch to see him like this.

How many on here were praising the signing at the time.
Pretty sure that he is being used more than was anticipated at the time.
This is Kova's first match back and we are managing Kev's fitness very carefully. Despite Gundo struggling there are no real alternatives to take him out of the starting line up. McAtee hasn't been outstanding either in his starts to merit a place in the side other than cup games.

I think he's been operating at a level below the 3 you mention.

Given how honest Gundo is I’m almost surprised that he’s not pulled Pep aside and said I’m not what the team needs right now.
He needs benching, what I would give to see an O’Reilly or a Wright being given a chance, young lads with more energy is what this team are crying out for.

Considering the relationship those two have, Gundo has to have stressed that at this point. No way should we be relying on a 34 year old to be in our top 5 for minutes played.Given how honest Gundo is I’m almost surprised that he’s not pulled Pep aside and said I’m not what the team needs right now.

I think his inability to press and back track is effecting the rest. He simply can't bust a gut, where others are thinking why should I. If he gets a start every game.

The old adage of never go back has neve been truer than this case.....HUGE mistake on the boards part bringng him back - for one of he first times since the takeover the board really got this wrong - yes there have been other bad trasnfers but THIS was the epitomy of panic and revisionism on their part....they throught backwards for the first time and its backfired HUGELY

He was a free transfer after Barca released him. It made perfect sense to take a flyer on him.
Hes having to play a lot more than he should do in a position he doesn't have the legs for at 34 because of the giant fucking injury crisis.
I'm not saying he's playing well, but acting like this was some disastrous decision by the board to sign him is just bullshit. Nobody is playing well at the moment.

Legend. He was brought back to be a bit part player yet he’s been flogged to death. I’ll never criticise Gundo.

He was worth taking a punt on to get a leader most of the squad already knew and a rotation option where we're pretty thin already. It's on the board that we didn't get a replacement or rotation option for Rodri which brought everything crumbling down.He was a free transfer after Barca released him.

Exactly. The big failure here is not being able to get in one actual ball playing defensive mid.
Hell, get Kalvin Phillips back from his loan, just fucking do something.
