His debut at Birmingham was pretty stunning imo and I thought he'd be a big player for us this season. I had no reason to change my mind until he was bullied and battered by Middlesborough, since then he's been close on useless and extremely lightweight.

Can we also blame Hyypia for this?

His debut was Leeds wasn't it? I'd say that those very impressive first 2-3 games made him a marked man. You can't blame Hyppia for Midds (and subsequent teams) for doing their homework and targeting his main weakness: the fact that he's a lightweight and easily bullied off the ball.

Definitley Birmingham, I was there and it was the only high spot of the sort of clueless performance that has become the norm. He came on as a sub and looked head and shoulders above everyone else on the pitch. You may have a point re him being targeted though.

He came on at Birmingham and looked great, however those 2-3 games and 60 mins at Bournemouth apart, he has been very ordinary.

Can't believe he's not starting... Same with Holla!

He came on as a sub at Birmingham but his first start was at Leeds. I agree he looked tremendous to start but he has been kicked out of the game in the same way as LuaLua.

Not wishing to put the boot in on SH, but most of the players seem to be going backwards under his reign. Tex started well and has now dropped off. Hola was fantastic in his first few games IMO, but he does not even get on the pitch now. The strikers can't score and our GK who got excellent reviews from Fulham fans has looked pretty dodgy all season, bar one or two games.

Napper · Dec 11, 2014

I'm not sure he's up to it based on what I've seen . Has shown glimpses and had a few good games when arrived but for every great thing he does he manages to match it with bad . Could be youth but no way will he be the top player we thought . Could be champ player in time though

turienzo's lovechild · Dec 11, 2014

he's being under utilised by a manager who is convinced that the two full backs should be the most creative players in the team :facepalm:

SH=it.

jay d · Dec 11, 2014

Basically sami has f***ed him , along with holla,stockdale and the whole club.
thanks sami .

Any players look poor playing for a shite manager amongst others who couldn't care less

portslade seagull · Dec 11, 2014

It wouldn't bother me if most of the loans were sent back to their clubs and we actually tried to sign players permanently who would then have a affinity to our club and maybe care more

dannyboy · Dec 11, 2014

hes been sami'd!

chucky1973 · Dec 11, 2014

Hypia has coached him. end of conversation. . well done SH

warmleyseagull · Dec 11, 2014

Debut was impressive but not a lot since. Suspicions raised when Liverpool fan I know who is pretty avid Reds fan had not even heard of him, and could not hold a place in Brentford team last season. Will be a bit player from now.

Can be fairly sure that either the team we put out in February will include a number of players we've never heard of, or we are doomed, or both. The summer recruitment process was an unmitigated disaster and will need some investment to get us up the League/out of League One.

He's not the only player whose form has nose dived as the seasons progressed

Can only think of KLL and Dunky (and perhaps GG) whose form hasn't.

What is a Palace fan doing giving thumbs down on a thread that doesn't concern him?
