Lodge Moor Owl Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I’m not a fan, good work rate, but increasingly lost his bottle. Lateral passes or turning back towards our defence plus too many crosses that don’t clear the first man and it’s a no from me. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The Claw Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 i think he is a technical player the others need to start thinking about going forward so he can use his ability to open up the other team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Groundhopping Owl Posted March 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 11, 2021 He's as gifted a player as he ever was, but until we work out a tactic that doesn't rely on him alone for creativity we'll struggle. In some ways he was better playing out on the left under Carlos, we were less predictable to defend against. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheshowl Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 By far our best player. If we had 10 other players of his quality, fitness record and consistency we’d be nowhere near the mess we find ourselves in. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pj owl Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Very good technical player that needs the right dynamic around him. Sadly we haven’t had that for a number of seasons now which is why (IMO) he polarises opinion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minesapint Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 A great player for us with a fantastic engine and passion . If, as I now believe, we will be playing in league 1 next season I think we would be best cashing in, wishing him well and recruiting a couple of younger players with a point to prove 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always makes me smile when people suggest that 10 of our players are rubbish because they are wasters, stealing a living, bottle merchants who don’t care but our superstar creative genius is rubbish because the other 10 aren’t on his level. If Bannan was as good as some suggest he’d stand out amongst the mediocrity 2 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God no please don't ever play him on the left he was awful every time I saw him out there . But I do agree if he is going to continue playing for us we need to change our system as we are just too easy to work out when he's in the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danielh Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Let him play, without relying on him. His main focus should not be what everyone is doing or isn't doing but his own game. Everyone should take responsibility for their game and not pass to Bannan every time they're are under the cosh. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But apart from conceding we’d have 90% possession. He’s our best player at recirculating the ball but defensively he’s a total liability 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indoor Owl Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Wednesday's best player, and it's not particularly close with Westwood showing the mileage a bit. A better question for those voting for his departure - how on earth do you plan to replace him, his energy, and the spark of creativity he gives the team? Of all the things that might be wrong with the team, the idea that we need less of the likes of Barry Bannan is a bizarre one. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When my wife decided she was going to start watching games, she immediately picked him out as being without peer out there, and it's not as if she's any kind of a football savant. No, he's not De Bruyne, and his stature has kept him from PL and made him a destined to be a Championship player. But he's the best we've got by a wide margin, and among the top players in the Championship at the position.

Well, if your wife’s picked him out as a superstar then I stand corrected and will rest assured that I can stop judging attacking midfield players on goals scored, assists and ability to influence the outcome of a game and instead judge them on WAR (Wife Approval Rating) Thanks for clearing that up 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
room0035 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Plays well when in a team with good players, is all at sea when he is surrounded by bottlers. Has not scored a goal from open play in over a season. When compared to other attacking / creative midfielders in our league he is now well down the list. A great player 2 seasons ago, but so was Reach, Lees, Westwood, Hutch. We start next season in league one hopefully we get a few million for him when he leaves. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
