How you can say the club has treated onyekuru badly is beyond me, lad oesnt jave work permit so loaned him to a champs league team, oh the injustice! Lookman loses the ball too much so again loaned out to a team challanging top 4 in germany, its disgusting! Vlasic has had a few run outs and looked OK i think he was bought for the future and wasnt expected to play but form of others ment he ad to play, wpuld anyone really want him starting now ahead of Walcott? How dare we not play him he's younger than theo yano its all sam hates kids he does.

Obviously there is sarcasm in my post but come on guys r we doing that badly when it comes to players? For me last time sandro played i said i want him sold i no he didn't get many chances to play but when he did there was a massive lack of effort on his part, my 9 year old lad looked at me and said why is he just jogging round making sure he's marked all the time dad why isn't he moving into space, he's 9 and he saw that! And klassen i just think it hasn't worked out for him, its life it happens sometimes.

It takes time johny but it’s hard when the expectations are so instant. They are all good players from their leagues and time will tell if they are as good in the prem. that’s of course if they are given the chance.

I will use one Christian Erikson as an example, when Spurs signed him, he struggled with the pace of the league but was still given the odd chance from the start and minutes off the bench, Klassen has struggled with the pace but the difference is he hasn't been afforded the same type of blooding that Erikson did, and that is the fault of the manager. Is he worse than Schneiderlein? I think not, yet Morgan gets game time.
He is a central attacking midfielder as is Vlasic, so wouldn't really be taking Theo's place, if Sigs is being played out of position why not give Klassen a go in his preferred position and help him with the transition? Hopefully when the new manager comes in he sees the talent at his disposal and uses it.
I agree about Sandro and he doesn't look suited to this league, but in Klassen there is a player in there with vision and flair, this talent has been wasted and sacrificed for lazy so called defensive midfielder and negative tactics.

He plays in a different role to sniderlain so that's probably y he isn't playing instead of him, and i wpuld like to point out that erikson wasnt brought into a team struggling to stay in the league mate i think if we would have hit the ground running klassen would have featured alpt more but we havnt mate its been a scrap and you can't afford people who aren't up to speed in a relegatation fight as sam has said himself players will get time to addapt once wer safe and i think that's only fair.
And with vlasic who oit of our attack would u drop for him mate out of curiosity if he plays centrally hat keep sig left you said he dloesnt play right so not theo so you would drop Davies? A yiungster who os getting a run in the team to accommodate another youngster? Or rooney? Our top goalscorer this season.

I don't think a players "role" should afford one player time and understanding over how our club handles new players recently.
Not even safe and yet the fans are demanding instant hits like a long established top 4 team. Some people need to pull their necks in.

I would also argue that Scheiderlin was not that much better in his first season. When I look back at all the home games last season, he actually played the same way, hardly a pass was incisive but rather safe or diagonal not exactly breaking fast.

I was not saying drop any of the midfield 3 in Rooney, Gueye and Davies but I guarantee that Sam will come next week as its an away game, Davies will be dropped and the crab will come in.
My point was, when we are 3 nil up then Davies could have came off and Klassen could have got 20 minutes, yet he wasn't even on the bench! This is the type of man management I'm on about, allowing a player time to adapt when the circumstances suit, at 3 nil up a game is won, also at the home games we have coming up against the likes of Newcastle and Brighton who no doubt will come and sit deeper, these games will give Klassen the time and space to maybe do something, but again he won't be on the bench and the crab will come off the bench to slow the game down as always.
If he needed time to adapt and we couldn't give him this, then surely a loan to a Premier league team or Championship side for that matter in January would have been better than having him just train and not feature in match day squads.

I understand what you are saying blue, but who could have foreseen us being 3-0 against palace?
We have to have a defensive sub on the bench and Sam sees something we don't in Schneiderlin, there is an argument about why he doesn't get on the bench, but there you go. Also if Davies is dropped and schneids comes in after the performance in the last game, even Sam must know that it wouldn't be the correct tactic, unless Davies is injured.
