Stealing a fucking living. And he’s captain!

No wonder the team don’t exactly seem invigorated with his as their ‘leader’.

Mistake after mistake after mistake defensively.

I was buzzing when he signed a new deal. In hindsight we should’ve snapped Bayern’s hands off.

Yep but because he's a loud voice he will blame others - he wants to just get the ball with 3 or 4 seconds on it and play killer passes - when in reality he's not even doing the basics of defending - that is why I'm on here giving him a hard time. He got some credit because he has been decent for us for a few years but in football as in life you are only as good as your current way of being.

Other players you can always say class is permanent, form is etc. but with this guy I believe he's done at this level and is a major weak link to the team. He has been awful all season but we were getting results by the skin of our teeth which covered up just how poorly both our fullbacks have been.

It’s easy to forget (not for me) that he was dropped from the side during the treble season and it’s what changed our fortunes.

We moved Stones there - or Akanji - and we excelled with elegance, control and defensive stability. He was kept back for rapid wingers and that was it.

Then he threw a paddy, threatened to leave and was rewarded with a new contract, more undeserved minutes and the captaincy.

He’s not been at his best for a few seasons. In my opinion anyway. Defends arrogantly, jogs when attackers are sprinting - did it last week and for the first goal today.

Fed up of the clown.

I'd agree to some degree but having watched them come down his side time after time, creating chance after chance no body can tell me he had a good game. He just needed to own his winger and stop crosses and runs into the box but he was either caught too far out of position or his first movement was actually away from the player on the ball - at this level you cannot give any player that much time and space - compare how little space Phil, Bernie, Savinho etc had - in short he deserves to be called out - he's not a kid and should have the knowledge to alter what he's doing in a game rather than what happened where he looked like a rabbit in headlights. He was rubbish tonight and a big reason why we lost.

Can't remember the last time he took personal responsibility for a cack performance. No humility, would blame everyone else but himself.
 
I think his game was summed up when he walked off the pitch and picked up a ball to take a throw in while Simpson-Pusey was in the process of taking the throw in already with another ball.

Did you not see him pass the ball out of play when trying to pass it down the line?

He's awful, it's just his pace got him out of some awful situations

He's finished, and how he's our captain is beyond me. We can blame the rest of the squad for picking him though
