Aside from the AVB out, AVB out, AVB out threads, what players - who I think should be taking a lot more of the flak - do you think aren't up to it?
For me?
Michael Dawson. The guy is a nice bloke, but that means nothing. He's a second rate footballer who's been holding us back for years. He's incredibly slow, very clumsy, has little or no awareness and his distribution is poor (HOOF). He's the first that has to go. Selling Caulker and keeping Dawson was a criminal decision.
Kyle Naughton. It's not just today, and I know he's a right back and not left back, but today really showed he's not Premiership standard, nevermind top 4 quality. At best he can be back up for Kyle Walker and only Kyle Walker as thankfully Kyle's a great athlete who doesn't miss any games. But I'd sell him if I had the chance. Not good enough.
Mousa Dembele. One good game, five bad. I like his strength on the ball. But I like my centre backs to be strong, not necessarily my centre mids. He can't pass well enough. He can't pass at all to be honest. For a central midfielder it's abysmal. His direct running usually comes to nothing, is he a defensive midfielder, an attacking midfielder? What does he really bring. Him and Paulinho in the middle alongside a proper defensive midfielder and people wonder why we struggle to create and are slow in possession? Why we're not entertaining anymore? I just can't see how so many still support him. We need to get rid of this guy as soon as possible.
Emmanuel Adebayor. The guy is a complete waste of a huge wage. The quicker we can ship him on and get someone who's evenly remotely interested in playing football in his place, the better. Finding someone silly enough to take a chance on him, at the price he comes, is the tough bit though.
Would like to know who everyone thinks aren't good enough to see if there's a general consensus.
