joey_big_nose Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Worst midfield performance I have ever seen in a Rovers shirt. I mean just utterly utterly abject. And he strolls around the pitch. ARGH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backroom DE. Posted December 15, 2012 Backroom Share Posted December 15, 2012 The man is a joke, there's a reason he never made it at premier league level and it's because - quite clearly - he's kean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Kean's Hypnotoad Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 I'm surprised the racist song about him churned out by the production line of the idiots that made up the one about Samba hasn't helped. Whats more logical, a player who has spent his last 5 years in the Premiership has suddenly, at the age of just 30, become too bad even for the league below? Or, a manager who was sacked from his last job and is likely to be sacked from this one, doesn't know how to organise and motivate his team? Keith Andrews featured in 32 games in the season we finished 10th in the PL. Are we saying a guy the fans used to continually boo off is 2 leagues above Etuhu's standard? Playing in defence and defensive midfield is about coaching and organisation as much as it is about individual ability. Thats why the likes of Andy Todd, Dominic Matteo, Keith Andrews, Aaron Mokoena etc, players most fans regarded as absolute dog ****. could do a job in the PL. Good management and good coaching. And thats why Etuhu, who's unlikely to be worse than any of those, can't even do one in the Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey_big_nose Posted December 15, 2012 Author Share Posted December 15, 2012 Bare minimum he should at least put a shift in. He didn't do that. I've got nothing against him personally. By beef is with berg for not taking him off.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 I'll try to avoid knee-jerk reactions to a poor performance, but he is without doubt one of the worst midfielders that I have seen pick up that sort of wage packet. He is not expected to be pulling strings in midfield or opening up defenses, but he should be covering ground and putting in tackles. Completely useless and he should be nowhere near the first team.

Gavlar Somerset Rover! Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 As I said on thread yesterday blame Murphy for this one. He recommended the club signed him as he'd be 'the perfect partner'. Chuffing joke the pair of them. Ah well only another 3.5 years of seeing this joke of a midfielder playing for the club.

RibbleValleyRover Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Both him and Murphy are just too old and have declined a lot in ability. Good partnership years ago at Fulham but now both of them are past it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't need coaches and managers to tell you to run if you can't figure this much out yourself then you aren't fit to wear the shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoverRich Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 I see he has deleted his Twitter account. Probably cos of the abuse he was already getting but, after today's showing, I think he will be relieved he is no longer on there... Absolutely shocking!

Utter rubbish. a) Even if he was recomended by Murphy, it doesn't leave Murphy responsible for the signing. b You don't know this for sure. c) Murphy didn't tell Etuhu to not try. Murphy isn't to blame for everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidMailsTightPerm Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 I actually thought he started the game ok - then his passes just went to pieces. The good thing Lowe looks a world beater next to him - other team members could learn from the effort Lowe put in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USABlue Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 The man is a disgrace to the shirt, the club and the fans, I have never seen a player kean out of so many tackles in one game in my life. Totally ineffective, lazy, hid from play and generally wasted a spot on the team. The shot he skyed was because he pulled out of it cos he was scared of making contact with the Blackpool player coming in. Yet even more lacklustre than this performance was that of the manager that let him stay on the park for the whole game when the second half was crying out for someone to come in with a spark. David Dunn for the last 30 mins springs to mind. Etuhu should NEVER suit up for this club again. Disgrace to the shirt To put it in context, he earns more than the entire Blackpool midfield put together, who ran rings round him today. Seriously? they did not even need to run to leave Etuhu in their dust today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree in part - you don't have to be too good to play at this level, and "do a job" for the team. Agree also that with better coaching we should be getting more out of Etuhu. Interestingly he seemed to start the season brightly but has faded recently. Can anyone suggest when his performances started to decline? Having said that, from recent reports he hasn't even been arsed, and at 30 he isn't going to really improve. Neither are positive indicators that money was well spent.
