Haji shite (10 Viewers)

[The Philosopher]

The black player lazy trope is distasteful and patently untrue. Subconscious racism.
No player that makes it to the top in elite football is lazy or gets picked in our team.
Why does Lampard consistently pick Haji? Simple, because he is a very good footballer and goalscorer, as evidenced by his goals scored. He contributes with movement to create space for other players and defensive assistance at set plays.
Haji has been an integral part of the team that is top of the league.
Every player, especially strikers go through slack periods.
Cherry picking the odd poor performance only supports the wealth of evidence that you are choosing unrepresentative events to support a spurious argument.

I’m not buying into this.

The colour of your skin shouldn’t give you an excuse to not fight for every ball and put in 100%

Haji sometimes coasts through. BTA on the other hand chases every ball. Nobody calling BTA lazy.

Cyrille was sometimes a bit lazy. I also thought Micky Quinn was lazy, he hardly chased every ball. Both great players. Both took it easy. Don’t care about the shade of their skin.

Virtue signalling to excuse Haji not putting same effort as BTA or Tats or EMC doesn’t make you some kind of white knight protecting him from the evil racists. A lot of Cov fans think he’s a great talent that needs to up his effort a bit. It’s not racist to say so.

Wright has next to no agression in his press, look at the difference between him and BTA. Doesnt make Haji any less of a top player he’s a prolific goalscorer and there isnt many I’d rather on the end of a ball in the penalty box.
Wright gets lazy connotations because he’s very casual and relaxed its a fair point its not a racial thing its a playstyle/personality thing

That’s called a 90 minute shift Haji. Put that in your pipe and smoke it. Simms what heart.

How long can it go on and people still keep waiting for it to happen. It’s getting to Tyler walker levels. Simms scored a few then gets dropped…

Dropping Simms was puzzling it must be said

 

[lordy_87]

No goals in 11. Is he getting let off lightly? Considering the stick the likes of Simms have taken in the past.

 

[David O'Day]

the people who got upset with him for not pressing the keeper when he and rudi had been clearly told to not press and to block the central passing lanes instead proper pissed me off

Agreed but he needs to do more

Anyone with half a brain could see that was the instructions

What service did he have?

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

What service did he have?

We got overrun in midfield and feel like today is a snapshot of what to expect from Grimes in the Prem. Absolute Rolls Royce in the championship but I’ve always felt like he’d struggle in the Prem. His worst games for us have been v Burnley and Ipswich 2 times.

Both Ipswich games came at points where the squad depth was short and to be honest, that was probably the difference. Jack Clarke has been a rotated with Philogene this season and we simply do not have that quality of player to call upon outside the stating 11.

I’m not worried about the result tonight, Leeds battered Ipswich in 23/24 twice and Ipswich still finished above Leeds.
