That’s a collective, Portlock is calling out Locadia and nobody else. I think they all need a flaming after today, not just one man.
Also, I’m pretty sure left wing is not Locadia’s idea of his perfect position.

Feel free to start 10 more threads then. In meantime, why not start with a striker who cost £15m and scored 1 PL goal this season?
I know, I wasn’t disagreeing with you.

He’s absolutely shocking- zero pace, poor touch and a panic January buy from last season- I’m struggling to think of a worse signing in the last few seasons and to think we were mugged for 13.5m!! Criminal- imagine if Burke signed him!
I’m not convinced he’s getting a fair trial. He got very little service but when he did he was big, strong and quick. Good ball control and tried to make things happen but nothing really came off.
Defensively not sure he offers enough though

Are we discounting his equaliser against Arsenal or his winner against Everton?
Anyway, this seems like a very bizarre witch hunt, we haven’t scored in about 5 games, today is the first time he’s started during that barren run, yet you want to pick him out as the scapegoat? Weird.

I'm not, I'm just bouncing a thread about Locadia, a player who I've never rated and been slammed for saying so. You can do so about other players, sure threads exist. But I'm especially keen to hear if people still excuse his performances or if the penny has finally dropped and they're now agreeing with what a lot of us have been saying for some time? Because boy has this guy been cut some slack after all!
The funniest thing is that we were told that dropping the awful Muzza, would create footballing paradise. At last, there’d be no gap between CM and the striker, or the offsides that destroy our otherwise great attacking play from our fantastic creators, that the goals would flow.
The reality was even worse than normal. I doubt the Bmuff back 4 have had an easier match all season.

You could quite easily be describing Alireza or Izquierdo.
Jahanbakhsh?

Ali J definitely, Izzy did show glimpses last season but Loco is woeful and Ali J just as poor

This for me is the biggest indictment of Hughton’s reign. We’ve been indoctrinated to believe a winger/attacker/forwards best asset should be how well they can defend, anything after that is a bonus.

Izquierdo has scored 3 worldies, he’s done jaff all else. He can’t cross, can’t pick a pass and he appears to have lost his pace.

Witch hunt, scapegoat...that's your choice of language. I've merely, and fairly I think, challenged a player who I've never been convinced by and whether he did much today? But actually, whilst you're pointing it out, yes we haven't scored many...don't you think there's a link between that and his ability therefore? Is that really so 'weird'? I'd thought any analysis of why we're not scoring goals would include our strikers?

Bmuff hadn't won in 11 away games either. Even our record was better, that's how bad they were!

Let me get this straight, he’s supposed to be a striker, but he’s been played out of position, but it’s his fault that we and he are not scoring? Seeems unfair to be honest. Collectively our wingers and midfielders have been shit, they offer nothing going forward, whether it’s Andone or Murray it doesn’t matter, they get hung out to dry.
Ironically, when our wingers/FB’s plough forward, we get ripped to shreds on the counter. Today being a great example.
I can understand CH’s caution ... at PL standard, our wide players aren’t very good in the main. We get most of our points from savvy tactics. When we think we’re good at PL football, push up, like today, Fulham and Burnley, opponents destroy us.
Agree with this 100%. It’s our main downfall over the last 20 months.
