Re: Siopsis

he IS the midfield LOL hes in the starting 11 more than any other midfielder

this guy flatters to deceive with his running. another shit lawnmover with no skill or awareness for the game... or awareness for where the ball is when he has it

Siopis is not the only reason we are shit. Far from it.

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?

Re: Siopsis

Reminds me of a certain Gary Medel. He downed tools after a few decent performances, yet still got given god like status by the fans just because he ran about a lot.

Medel is still playing for club and country. Currently with Vasco in Brazil. He was sent off on Thursday against Fluminense.

Re: Siopsis

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 totally agree and felt the same, totally underwhelmed with him.

Not to see he wasn’t a very good player but there is a reason no one in the prem picked him up.

Re: Siopsis

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

I think that's a really good point tbh. Let's hope he hasn't burned himself out already.

Re: Siopsis

another fantastic match for siopisstaker. I didnt realise he was on until i looked at the team sheet again half time

[LA Bluebird]

Re: Siopsis

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?

Re: Siopsis

He has been bloody woeful bordering on amateurish today

Has he?!

Re: Siopsis

Has he?!

No he hasn’t , no idea where JR got that idea from. He certainly played well in his first few games but god like status is somewhat of an over exaggeration!
