Lets be honest who in our midfield can say they have been up to standards this season apart from Bellers most have been hit and miss this season. So if we were to take this logic we would be looking for a new midfield.
The Ireland cant tackle is a load of bollocks he can tackle and has done so under Hughes. He is a very good reader of the game and has cut out a lot of attacks as well since Mancini has come in he has found it hard to get games under his belt. Also the niggling injuries doesnt help.
How long will it take for some fans to get on the back of Adam Johnson I give it the 5 th game of next season and people will be slating him god helps anyone if they loose form they are screwed with some fans back the players dont slate them.
You could get off your high horse and read the words written. "can't/won't tackle consistently".
Of course he "has done", he wouldn't have been picked otherwise. He just doesn't do it well enough or consistently enough to be in a top 4 side. In my humble fucking opinion, obviously.
I do back the players, especially live, even when they "loose" form - but not all of us spend the rest of our time wearing blue blinkers.
