He'd look better in a team that has more of the ball. He isn't technically good enough to play as deep as we are playing and it means he's constantly having to defend. Basically, tactically we're a shambles and he isn't that good to begin with.
He’s a good player dragged down to Wintle’s level.
nope not the only reason. I think we all know the real root cause deep down even those in clear denial.
But siopisstaker does feature in most of our midfield's game time. And people constantly rip into the midfield..
i know i know..every1 loves a short guy who runs a lot and smiles. So lets not blame him right?
Players like Siopis and Medel do well as defensive midfielders in teams that aren’t defending for 90% of the game. The whole team is defending. So their role is pretty much moot. They do well in teams that dominate possession and can actually play. Then they can go be destroyers and nuisances when the ball is lost. Everyone’s a defensive midfielder in our team. It’s irrelevant when everyone around you is crap or underperforming.
He’s had a stellar career, for sure, but I don’t think anyone could argue that he didn’t throw the towel in post Xmas.
He went from pit bull to poodle in the space of a few months. Not too dissimilar to how it’s gone thus far Siopis.
Hopefully with Siopis is just a case of getting used to the relentless Saturday -Tuesday, Saturday-Tuesday nature of the championship and he will regain his early season form.
I must have missed his "pitbull" moments.
He had a no-nonsense style haircut and cold, staring eyes, like a pissed-off Mike Tyson. City fans bought into the hype that he was going to be some dynamic 'enforcer' who could play a bit. I was totally underwhelmed by what I saw of him.
I think Siopis works much better with Ralls as they both sit in a zonal area one on the left with the other on the right, neither are true "6"'s though and i don't think the double pivot works as neither are sitters. When Ralls is sub'd we fall to pieces as Wintle doesn't play the same role.
Bulut has tried Wintle as the 6 and Siopis as the top of the double pivot but I just don't think Wintle is championship-level at that position as everything is a bit safe and slow so Siopis suffers, also having next to no targets to give the ball to doesn't help either of them.
This is why we need to gove Bulut a contact now, he has found out what he can and can't do in the championship its a bit daft to have another rebuild
another fantastic match for siopisstaker. I didnt realise he was on until i looked at the team sheet again half time
He's gone from not being able to pass it 15 yards at the start of the season to not being able to pass 5 recently, I guess that's what you call coaching?
He has been bloody woeful bordering on amateurish today
It’s Siopis
Gone backwards at a rate of knots literally. He can't wait to get rid of the ball no composure, he had opportunities today to pick out a player in front of him but passed sideways or out of play. I think Bulut as coached the positivity out of the player.
Yeah thought we had a real player and fan favorite on our hands the first couple months of the season, let's not rewrite history. With Ramsey and then even Ralls and Wintle for a while after he was quality - winning the ball back all over the field and short simple passes to get the ball to our more creative players. There was a game or two with Ramsey when it looked like it could be one of the best midfields in the division.
I thought he was one of our better players today . ( Which wasn’t hard ) I like him as a footballer ….. we all see different things
