Such a shame as he’s our best/most influential player when fit. Until his last injury he was also doing ok and near the top in terms of minutes played but he’s slipping down the list now (9th in the squad, similar no. of minutes to Biss after being 5th a few weeks ago)

Don’t disagree with any of the sentiment around one of our best players but if today is the same injury, that he has had recently, then sorry but that is embarrassing, and poor from either him telling GP he was fit, or the management team for risking him.

If it is a new injury then rotten luck and ignore the above….

Sick note Lallana has played more minutes than Bissouma this season. And Webster & Lamptey.

Personally I’m far more concerned about Webster overall fitness than Lallana, especially given the outlay. All his injuries seem to be muscular and the current one seems to be a mix of them

Webster aside I'm not sure you've thought that through.

Pork pie land.
I just don’t see how we can keep using him.

We got away with it against West Ham even though it took us down to 10 men but today was arguably worse


I’m sure there’s some stattos on here - how many times has he played 90 minutes?

Totally agree. Get rid ASAP and give our youth a chance to get experience

Never understood the purring plaudits success starved Albion fans laud upon him. Terrible finisher, both in terms of staying on the pitch and scoring goals. If he feel out of a boat, he’d miss the sea.

A poor signing overall. Gambled and lost. Far too injury prone.

I still rate him.

He’s played a quarterback role in driving us forward in our best performances, always forward thinking. At 33 and with no searing pace, he won’t be involved in attacks.

My only criticism, I wish his shots were on target.


To be fair, he’s not alone ! :D

Not been worth the money we have supposedly paid for him but hasn’t been a waste of a signing.

Right now I’m not sure what we do with him, has been very influential in games and understands how GP wants to play. However is injury prone and doesn’t either create goals or score them.

Midfield is our biggest issue at the moment, not doing enough offensively or in regard to protecting the back 4/5 like it did earlier in the season…. Biss is off form and rest of them whilst show nice touches and abilities going forward offer little defensively.

Moder been far more wasteful in front of goal …

This.

He’s a great player, but we need to sort out his injuries and if there is an inkling of doubt leave him out.

That’s true. In terms of midfield contributions we don’t appear to have got much better than Propper & Stephens.

Forget inkling. It’s beyond doubt he will
Score
Create a goal
Last a match

Needs replacing therefore.

You mean we're the same as when Mr Hughton was in charge?


Careful or your name will be on the list. :lolol:

His contract must be up soon?

I wouldn’t be renewing

It’s a shame because he has put the n some great performances and has been a leader on the pitch - which is what we are lacking.

We were talking about this yesterday and I think he signed for 3 years, which means one more to go. Before someone pointed that out, we were saying that if he went at the end of the season and we need experience on the pitch to help the youngsters, Erikson could be a good shout. I think his contract at Brentford is only for this season.

I also remember when we signed Lallana, they were talking about his influence throughout the club, not just on the pitch.
