Sheaf Saint Posted 1 November, 2015 Posted 1 November, 2015 Needs to be dropped IMO. Had far too many 'off' games recently. When he goes missing we crumble in midfield and surrender far too much possession to the opposition. Stupid, unnecessary tackle to get a second yellow today (although the first was possibly a bit harsh) but worryingly we didn't miss him when he went off. Thoughts?
Saint Charlie Posted 1 November, 2015 Posted 1 November, 2015 Think he was pretty good aside from the red. A few shaky moments on the ball but thats always the case with him. Only midfielder we have who can boss the midfield a bit so definitely wouldn't drop him. Main improvement would be to try and avoid getting booked early in games as it restricts him.
lickierambert Posted 1 November, 2015 Posted 1 November, 2015 He misses Morgan alongside him I think to look a bit more silky. Putting money on him getting a yellow card is simply printing cash at the minute
Colinjb Posted 1 November, 2015 Posted 1 November, 2015 We would miss him badly, indeed, we may see how much we do miss him in the next game. With him on a yellow though I was praying we would take him off for Romeu. He can be too rash under pressure, he is really missing Morgan alongside him.

Yes I think he should be dropped for the Sunderland game like Mane was for the Villa one
Toadhall Saint Posted 1 November, 2015 Posted 1 November, 2015 Rubbish he has been immense as per usual.
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 1 November, 2015 Posted 1 November, 2015 Yes I think he should be dropped for the Sunderland game like Mane was for the Villa one He will be suspended
Harry_SFC Posted 1 November, 2015 Posted 1 November, 2015 Drop Wanyama and play who instead? Romeu is a decent player but looks more likely to get sent off than Wanyama and that's saying something. JWP is out of his depth and Clasie still hasn't got used to the pace of the league. Odd thing to suggest.
Ajv2809 Posted 1 November, 2015 Posted 1 November, 2015 Had a decent game aside from two rash challenges. He's our rock in midfield, has far more of physical presence than the likes of JWP and Clasie. Romeu is good cover but in no way should we consider dropping him.

Then you were watching a different game to me. He was jogging around doing not a lot for most of the second half, letting Bournemouth get past him and into our final third far too often. His decision making was very poor, summed up by his attempt to side-foot the ball into the net from 40 yards in one of our rare forays forward in he 2nd half. He just looked disinterested to me.
Huffton Posted 1 November, 2015 Posted 1 November, 2015 Hes off to Arsenal in January apparently, looks like his head may have already left
farawaysaint Posted 1 November, 2015 Posted 1 November, 2015 Hes off to Arsenal in January apparently, looks like his head may have already left Why would we sell him mid year?
Huffton Posted 1 November, 2015 Posted 1 November, 2015 Buggered if i know, i dont make the decisions
farawaysaint Posted 1 November, 2015 Posted 1 November, 2015 Buggered if i know, i dont make the decisions It just seems unusual given our refusal to do it over the last 3 years when players were wanted in Jan.
SaintTex Posted 1 November, 2015 Posted 1 November, 2015 Yes I think he should be dropped for the Sunderland gamehaha. right? Look, we all thought Wanyama was carrying a bit of an injury the last few weeks. Some even thought he would be rested for the League Cup game Wednesday. He probably needed a bit of a rest anyway. Sunderland is a good one to take a game off. The Stoke game is 20 days away.

Shance Posted 1 November, 2015 Posted 1 November, 2015 Drop him? He had a good game today and our midfield was walked through when he was off. He's a DM destroyer. He'll pick up cards and get the occasional red. It comes with the territory.
Saints foreva Posted 1 November, 2015 Posted 1 November, 2015 He's an idiot for going into that challenge already on a yellow card. Didn't deserve the applause he got when he walked down the tunnel either.
whelk Posted 1 November, 2015 Posted 1 November, 2015 Hes off to Arsenal in January apparently, looks like his head may have already left I think they will want someone who can pass the ball
doddisalegend Posted 1 November, 2015 Posted 1 November, 2015 Then you were watching a different game to me.

He just looked disinterested to me. ehhhh what game where you watching? He was a beast out there today Bournemouth's midfield couldn't cope with him. Not very often you see a red carded player walking off to a standing ovation while the fans sing his name but that's what happened to big vic. If his range of passing was better and more accurate he would be a top top player.
doddisalegend Posted 1 November, 2015 Posted 1 November, 2015 It just seems unusual given our refusal to do it over the last 3 years when players were wanted in Jan. We won't sell him in Jan he will go in the summer. Can't see the club putting their foot down in the summer only to sell him mid way through the season.
The Cat Posted 1 November, 2015 Posted 1 November, 2015 Does the red mean the 5 yellows don't count anymore or will he miss 2 games now?
markr27 Posted 1 November, 2015 Posted 1 November, 2015 I think that was his 4th and 5th yellows, which now counts as a red (therefore 1-match ban)?
farawaysaint Posted 1 November, 2015 Posted 1 November, 2015 Does the red mean the 5 yellows don't count anymore or will he miss 2 games now? I think he misses one?
Goatboy Posted 1 November, 2015 Posted 1 November, 2015 Too casual at the start of the game but grew into it. Had a good hour but should have been subbed before the sending off.
Matthew Le God Posted 1 November, 2015 Posted 1 November, 2015 Wasnt the first of his yellows the 5th one of the season, meaning a suspension anyway? Maybe he took the red. What a bizarre conspiracy theory. Why on earth would he do that?
markr27 Posted 1 November, 2015 Posted 1 November, 2015 According to ESPN his record reads 3 yellows and 1 red now.
The Cat Posted 1 November, 2015 Posted 1 November, 2015 What a bizarre conspiracy theory. Why on earth would he do that? A Kenyan betting scam?
S-Clarke Posted 1 November, 2015 Posted 1 November, 2015 Well, he will be dropped for the next game..! He bossed that first half for what it's worth, and did decent covering for a good portion of the 2nd half too. He played well.
VectisSaint Posted 1 November, 2015 Posted 1 November, 2015 Wasnt the first of his yellows the 5th one of the season, meaning a suspension anyway? Maybe he took the red. The first was his 4th, so now he is on 5. Definitely misses the next game. He was one of our best players today, but silly challenge for his second yellow.
Batman Posted 1 November, 2015 Posted 1 November, 2015 I thought he was alright bar his sending off. morgan was just so good, it clearly helped vic when he was next to him
saint97 Posted 1 November, 2015 Posted 1 November, 2015 Played fairly well today and was superb last week. Awful post.
Mr Saints Posted 1 November, 2015 Posted 1 November, 2015 Getting cards comes with the territory, there's very few in this league I'd rather have than Vic in the destroyer role.
austsaint Posted 1 November, 2015 Posted 1 November, 2015 I thought he was alright bar his sending off. morgan was just so good, it clearly helped vic when he was next to him Sums it up. Vic's still playing well but he hasn't got the class help around him he used to have.
Dark Munster Posted 1 November, 2015 Posted 1 November, 2015 According to ESPN his record reads 3 yellows and 1 red now. If that's true then his first today (which was his 4th of the season) gets taken off his season's tally. Which opens the door for someone to take a tactical second yellow late in the game if he was going to be rested in the next game anyway. Mane
Mr X Posted 1 November, 2015 Posted 1 November, 2015 I thought he wasn't that bad up to the sending off, made some good passes and vital breakdowns of play. You can be guaranteed that whenever a players had an off day there's sure to be a thread with their name on it on here
hutch Posted 2 November, 2015 Posted 2 November, 2015 Blown our chances of sneaking into next season's Europa via the back door then.
skintsaint Posted 2 November, 2015 Posted 2 November, 2015 Must have watched a different game to me, thought he played well with lots of clearances/tackles in that midfield. One of the reasons Bournemouth didn't create too much was the midfield shielding the defence. Thought his first yellow wasn't even a foul. For the 2nd someone had to have a go at tackling the bloke, it all stemmed from Romeu making a bad mistake and getting caught trying to cut a pass by running forward but didn't, then the geezer ran past Yoshi I think it was, and was getting into a decent shooting area. It was a booking but wasn't too far off being a great tackle. As someone else says thats his job and he will pick up yellows. Was surprised to see that it was his first red for us. Gives Romeu a chance to step up next week, good that we have a bit of depth these days. Least season it would have involved putting Toby in the middle.
Batman Posted 2 November, 2015 Posted 2 November, 2015 I do not get it when people say he does not want to be here. he has been alright. His passing was not brilliant anyway and take morgan out of any side and you will miss him
Sour Mash Posted 2 November, 2015 Posted 2 November, 2015 He's an idiot for going into that challenge already on a yellow card. Didn't deserve the applause he got when he walked down the tunnel either. That's what I thought. Never get the hero's reception such sending offs seem to get.
farawaysaint Posted 2 November, 2015 Posted 2 November, 2015 I do not get it when people say he does not want to be here. he has been alright. His passing was not brilliant anyway and take morgan out of any side and you will miss him I don't mind the passing it's the apathetic jogging when he loses possession that drives me nuts.
Andy Durman Posted 2 November, 2015 Posted 2 November, 2015 Wanyama made a few wrong decisions Yesterday, but don't forget he's still young and learning. He may be super human, but he's still human!
Monkou Posted 2 November, 2015 Posted 2 November, 2015 Disagree completely with this. He is possible our most important player. Breaks so much down in midfield and reads the game superbly. Maybe not the best on the ball (we have Davis/JWP for that) but it is the often unseen work he does that frustrates teams and makes us so hard to beat. Luckily (kind of) we will be without him now so we can see the impact of dropping him in the next game.
rooney Posted 2 November, 2015 Posted 2 November, 2015 He was so strong yesterday and won so many 50/50's. A few passes went askew and shame about the Red. needs to control himself a little.
Webby Posted 2 November, 2015 Posted 2 November, 2015 Not as good as he thinks he is. You hardly ever see him sprint.
saintadam Posted 2 November, 2015 Posted 2 November, 2015 He has been immense for us so far this season. Ofc didn't have his best game yesterday but drop him because of one less good performance... What a joke.
Window Cleaner Posted 2 November, 2015 Posted 2 November, 2015 Thought he did well yesterday, looked solid when quite a few had gone awol in the second half, kept the side together. Unfortunate sending off of course but that happens to DMs from time to time.
sussexsaint Posted 2 November, 2015 Posted 2 November, 2015 Sure being on a yellow must restrict his play a bit, but that second tackle was pointless
