Poor today. No good for a team looking for top 2 next season. Get rid. Problem is, Azaz hasn’t shown himself to be much better
When did he ever go away from type to be able revert to it?Poor today. Reverted back to type.
We ABSOLUTELY DO NOT need to keep the consistency of that sort of awful performanceWe need to keep a certain amount of consistency through the squad so I think we are probably stuck with him for another season but hopefully behind 3 competent CMs.
Agree with both sentencesHe is a luxury we don’t need with a fully fit squad.
Saying that Azaz and O’Brien are not the answer. Both go missing in games or don’t turn up at all

Exactly how I feel too.I'm starting to think should we consider selling him this summer. I reckon Rotherham would have him back there and I'd settle for us getting the money back that we'd spent on him.
I'm warming to O'Brien and I'd be happy for us to have Hackney, O'Brien, Howson and a new DM as our midfield options next season.
Azaz and LOB don’t afford the opposition opportunities like badpasser does though.Was just about to say this too.

He won’t get a game next season if we buy right and keep the players that we need

Yes, the only game he looked brilliant in and sheff we’d were awful! Says it all really.The 1 game against the awful Sheff Wed
Totally agree. Some fans are desperate for him to make a mistake so they can moan about him. My biggest concern is his tackling and being too nice but he did OK yesterday. Some nice passes. One in the first half with the outside of his foot was brilliant.I think the lad gets some really unfair stocl, but he seems to be target no.1 currently.
Both he and O'Brien were average yesterday, but I also think that they've been asked to play a different game in the last 8 games(ish), which doesn't naturally suit either because they are both forward thinking players.
I'd like to see him at the base of a three, that would suit him more and overall I think he's done ok this season.
I'd love us to bring in Matt Grimes from Swansea btw.
Yes, it was a 'workmanlike' performance and Barlaser contributed more than some others.Totally agree. Some fans are desperate for him to make a mistake so they can moan about him. My biggest concern is his tackling and being too nice but he did OK yesterday. Some nice passes. One in the first half with the outside of his foot was brilliant.
Azaz and Jones were worse yesterday but don’t see any posts about them.
Probably because they don’t set the opposition up for a clear chance at goal two or three times per matchTotally agree. Some fans are desperate for him to make a mistake so they can moan about him.

Barlaser did it once yesterday and it was actually a poor ball to him in the first place. Fans are just obsessed by Barlaser. At least Barlaser put himself about yesterday and demanded the ball. Unlike Jones who actively ran away from the ball.Probably because they don’t set the opposition up for a clear chance at goal two or three times per match
People have got their heads around how we playI think a lot of the criticism is harsh. Yes for me he's a squad player, but the squads been decimated with injuries so what do people want. He doesn't have the mobility to be the player receiving the ball from the keeper on the edge of the box and is never on the turn when he does. When Hackney or Howson are fit that's their job and Barlaser can then receive the ball higher up the pitch and links up much better when they are fit.
Yesterday he has to play that role as O'Brien can't do it and he's the better of the 2. Why can't people get their heads around that's how we play.

Azaz worries me. He is so lightweight and doesn't look comfortable at all in our sidehe was better than Azaz again.
Top 2? I'd be amazed if the expectation within the club for next season is a top 2 finish.Poor today. No good for a team looking for top 2 next season. Get rid. Problem is, Azaz hasn’t shown himself to be much better
