Stewart Downing - West Hahahaham player

[Mostar]

Yep but I don't think anyone can have a pop at him for not being good enough. Don't think he can be blamed for lack of effort. Should never have been here in the first place nor has he kicked on to another level since coming to Anfield.

Even though I agree it is not his fault to be here, he is LFC player and just by association it is normal to have an opinion on him good or bad.

He is not to be excluded from criticism (or praise when it is warranted) just cause Kenny probably made the mistake and bought him in the first place.

I trust you to see things that I can't see cos you go to matches. Again, i think it's the management's fault imo. Be it Kenny or Commolli for a) not improving the player and b) signing the poor guy in the first place. He was doing ok for Villa.

I didnt watch him week in and week out at Villa obviously, but for us he's largely been a shirker. I dont blame Kenny or Comolli for that. I think giving 100% and putting in effort is a prerequisite and should go without saying. He doesnt do that though. As a professional, he shouldnt need the manager to 'coach' 100% effort into him, he should provide it regardless. But he doesnt. He smacks of someone who thinks he's 'made it' by joining LFC and doesnt need to bother anymore. It's incredibly disrespectful to the club and the fans.

I would hardly call that interview 'hitting back'

He has been an absolute wimp

look at him. Would you expect anything else?

[baitman]

if thats as hard as he can hit back then maybe we could almost forgive his limp wristed, piss poor displays for our club
when i see no marks chat **** in the paper rather than say they realise they must try harder, individually an as part of the team, then i think its time to tell them to get their bags packed ready for the off.

his comments remind me of some of the slightly confrontational stuff from AVB before he was given the bullet, maybe downing isnt happy here, and is angling for a move. i will pay his cab fare...

I swear I must have watched a different game - I thought he was his usual wimpy self.

Everytime Fellaini came within 10 metres he **** himself.
