    Like any player, we can only go off what we've seen. How can someone play * brilliant and not be given 1 chance? Bad management is why.

    Because he has never played brilliantly. He was good against a Livingston side that are likely going to get relegated again. He was fine against half fit opposition and young lads in pre-season.

    You're avoiding my question. Who gets dropped from the squad to make way for him? Tierney or Sarrachi?

    See I'm not suggesting it would be a league winning formula and I've got * all to back it up other than biased youtube clips and a pre-season.

    But either way, I'm confident regardless that if Tounekti was down the right and the we had Inamura as LB. Scales than has someone directly next to him who is a ball playing defender albeit at LB, but who can then also ping cross field passes to the right channel, potentially where Tounekti could be in space to run onto something.

    And by doing so it could have wider impact in also bringing Iheanacho into games more as well.

    But if I'm a player and the only game time I get to impress is in preseason where I arguably look like a standout performer and then hear my manager downplay my performances and use an opposition I never played against as an example of the low level teams I came up against. I'd be left * fuming and scratching my head.

    Inamura and his abilities absolutely have use to this squad right now and whether that is at LB or in a different position (I'm desperate at this point to try some drastic and new) he needs to be utilised

    So a stand out player and your downplaying it. Rodgers is that you?

    Id not have loaned in sarrachi, and developed a very promising young left back who can actually pass a ball forward. Probably why he's not chosen. Rodgers doesnt like forward passing or youth.

    On current form Tierney should be getting dropped until he is fit, if that is even possible. And that has nothing to do with whether Inamura gets played or not.

    Prior to us even getting sarrachi in, he wasnt even making the bench when tierney could barely last an hour. We were shifting scales to lb.

    He had a game against livi. Looked ok. Surely he could have been a bench ootion to bring on for kt or sareachi after 70 mins or so to see how he gets on?

    We definately are not getting a full season out of kt so you eould have thought there was an opportunity to develop him here.

    He wasn't a stand out player. I've just said he was good. You're going completely overboard by saying he was brilliant.

    Sarrachi has been our best left back this season.

    "Rodgers doesn't like youth" whilst playing Donovan at right back multiple times. Dane Murray has played games this season. Engels, Bernardo, Tounetki and Kenny have all played games and are younger than Inamura.

    You talk a lot of * in here but you're on a roll with it today.

    I agree. Sarrachi should be playing as first choice LB. Would be silly to not have Tierney on the bench, though.

    So you think one player that stood out doesnt deserve a chance then. Thats the biggest pile of pish I've heard. He should have been the backup. No wonder our good youth players leave. Lack of opportunity.

    Oh insults. Your so tough. Must be under your skin.

    I've just said that I didn't think he stood out. He played well. The team played well that day. He was part of that. Left back isn't the problem for us. We aren't struggling to win games because Inamura isn't playing.

    Our good youth players leave for financial reasons. Most of them leave and never see any first team action for years.

    I'm not sure LB, isn't an issue for us.. certainly seems so in this current system.

    I think he's clearly good enough to be a back-up or rotational option. But Rodgers is clearly on a power play with this one, along with Shin Yamada. Made it quite clear when Inamura in particular came into the club and he was criticising him publicly.

    It's poor for me. Just play him if he has the attributes, which I think he does to at least take the load off.

    Right now Saracchi should be our first-choice left-back regardless.

    I meant quite rightly was raging about our shitshow of a transfer window. Inamura, however, should be in and around the squad. No excuses for him vanishing.

    Pusey is the same.

    Can't tell me he's been here 3 months, been on bench v Almaty and still isn't fit enough to be involved at all.
