    I think it's a lot to do with Lennon. I don't think the players want to play for him.

    Looks a shadow of himself and at this point I'd drop him. His body language and attitude stinks. We have a huge rebuild on our hands and selling him in January may be a wise move because his value is depreciating with every passing day as his contract runs down.

    Griffiths has done enough to make himself first choice which is some recovery following his antics a couple of months ago.

    Shameful performance yesterday, couldn’t hold into the ball at all, constantly taking too many touches trying to beat half a team.

    Didn’t close down opposition, sauntered across the pitch, no pressing no tracking, slow, laboured. Just a terrible attitude and yes he may not be 100% match fit but my * try a little bit harder otherwise he never will get fit if he’s jogging about the place half arsed.

    Starting to look like his pal Ntcham.

    French Eddie has chucked it by the looks of things, nowhere near the player he was before.

    I used to brick it when I saw he wasn't playing. After these last few games I'd rather he wasn't, doesn't look bothered. Maybe give him the benefit of the doubt cause of lingering effects of covid or whatever but he looks like he has checked out.

    Get Griff playing alongside him and then judge him. And Tam behind them.
    Poor * is on a hiding to nothing playing lone striker.

    He is going into every game knowing team will just bulk up on him,his whole game time is looking at 2 or and sometimes 4 players trying to stop him.Its no wonder his form is crap,we have tried everything else so its maybe time for 2 * strikers up top. If after he has a partner to work off he stays in this form then drop him and play ajeti and griff up front,that will get us goals 100%.

    He's not even trying. Let's not make excuses for him.

    Guys not got the mentality to rise to the top. He may have been rated higher than mbappe at youth level but you can see the difference attitude makes. Stinks.

    He runs about the exactly same way when he's on fire ,I genuinely don't know you expect him to do with crosses flying over his head or behind him,on top of which the build up play is that slow he never has any space .if he was getting plenty of service and he was fluffing his lines or pulling out of challenges i could see where you are coming from but he ain't

    Frimpong played at least 2 delicious balls into that area between keeper and defence that opposition hate and strikers love.

    He was absolutely nowhere near either of them.

    Tell ye whit, the guy is capable of playing for the elite of the elite. But whilst he has more to his game than Moussa, Moussa will end up having the better career simply down to application and attitude.

    There’s still plenty time for him to turn the corner but he, more than anyone else in the squad, needs a rocket up his *.

    It's not great atm but I thought we all knew he isn't a lone striker?.
    Needs a partner and see how that goes, most times he gets the ball it's 30 yds from goal and has half a team in front of him, not how to utilise a striker is it. As mentioned Frimpong put 2 great balls in from breaking down the left but he left all the team standing not just Eddie. Many times we've been in that situation and lucky if we have 1 in the box.

    Eddy's style and persona is very laid back but he still does the business however, this season, he doesn't look interested at all but, then again, neither does a lot of his teammates.

    Let's not forget too, he is also expected to provide others with opportunities.

    Losing count of his marauding(?) dribbles where he tries to beat 4 players rather than playing in a teammate.

    Mon Eddy, repay the 9 million or whatever it was.

    Yeh, that annoys the life out of me. He did the same last season but someone must have had a word with him and he started to pass to his teammates which was far more effective.

    The international break will tell us a lot about where his head is at. If he turns it on for France then we can assume he has downed tools for us and it’s not just a dip in form.
