BridgeIsBlue 66,690 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Hopefully it isn't the case but it looks as though he's past it now imo. I can't think of a single game this season where he's turned up in, it's beginning to become an issue as well where we now have Kent on the left hand side just starting to hit form while on the right we're toothless with Arfield and Ojo. Sooner Jones is back to match fitness the better so he can play on the left with Kent on the other side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeds_Bear 8,241 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Was like he wasn't even playing on Sunday. Would start Stewart until Jones is back, once he is Jones on the left and Kent on the right - have them switching. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSuedeSambas 55,363 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Said in the match thread yesterday that he needs to pack in international football and I stand by that. Most players who are as dynamic as he, or was, do the same thing so they can prolong their club careers and it’s something he should seriously be considering.

siamthedanger 2,876 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Honestly never noticed he was playing yesterday until about 20 minutes in. So ineffective this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShanksRFC 3,873 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Defo needs to make a decision soon between club football and international football. He has been extremely poor this year out with the Midtjylland games which funnily enough took place in between a big chunk of international football.

BouncyBluenose87 1,569 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Doesn't suit our system. He gets played as a right winger and he's not a winger...that's it in a nutshell for me. Feels like Gerrard is shoehorning him into our starting line-ups too often. Square peg, round hole. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most effective centrally behind the main striker. Like virtually any winger the world over, can end up as a spectator for much of a game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GA1972 9,995 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 He really needs a rest but the more I see him play the more I think he might actually just be passed it. He looks nowhere near the player from last season in any way that can’t all be down to fatigue Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
superallysbears 7,987 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 I'm sure he's one that will pick up his form again in the newyear, hopefully we will get him back firing in all cylinders, he's a great player, just not getting on the ball enough right now.

BlueKnight87 17,619 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 He's not a right winger and continually starting him there isn't going to help. We either need to play him in the midfield 3 or drop him from the squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenoz 31,621 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Saying a 31 yr old is finished is an overreaction to a player who is clearly played out of position. Based on his current form, he doesn't deserve a spot in the midfield 3 but he is far from finished. In fact, I would be shocked if he doesn't start on Thursday.

JackAlex93 11,936 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Hasn't offered much so far this season. Being played out of position is a big factor in that and also all the travelling when playing for Canada and the game time on the park for them. Needs to make a decision I feel. Still a lot to offer when he is on his game though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMB 14,167 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 He was one of our top performers last season. Now he’s one of our worst. I really hope the RW is looked at in January. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbm26896 995 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Not playing well at the moment, but hes a good player and will contribute over the season. Usual over the top criticism in RM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smile 26,624 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Always think he's a one good game in three type of player I also think he's a bit burnt out just now. I do like Arfield though as even when he's pish he gives you workrate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoGeo7 11,073 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 It’s at that stage where he has to decide what is more important: playing for Rangers or playing for Canada. its clear he can’t keep up with doing both. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
