Rich@Eaststand Sebastian Rich@Eaststand Sebastian Rich@Eaststand Sebastian Rich@Eaststand If you are chasing a game and bring on a right winger to try and get you a goal it might be an idea to get the ball out wide and play it to his feet so he can try to create something.
To have a go at Seol for yesterdays result is just stupid.
I don't think anyone is blaming him for the result - all I said was that he was brought on to chase the game, and didn't actually achieve any of that.
He was brought on to chase the game and then wasn't given the ball - maybe that is why he didn't achieve it?
And let's think why no one passed to him - most probably because the team thinks he's as shit and lazy as most of us do.
We disagree, brilliant - I admire your untainted support, I really do - but the seemingly vast vast majority (70%) think the bloke's useless and lazy. I'm not saying we're right and you're wrong - but we do have a right to our opinion, just as you have a right to yours.
Pointless little smileys and emoticons achieve nothing - debate the point at hand.
Why do you think that no one passed to Seol against Chelsea? And if people did pass to Seol why did he manage to achieve oxf*rd all? If it's because we were under the cosh - as people have admitted he has zero talent tracking back - so a bad sub by Coppell. As we were going forward towards the end - and he's a so-called 'flair' player, or whatever, why did he do absolutely nothing of note in the time he was on the pitch - especially as we play down the wings?
It's about as pointless as saying that players don't give him the ball because they think he is lazy and shit isn't it?
My support isn't untainted. He is very much a confidence player and does blow hot and cold which is frustrating but I think that given the right service that he would be a threat for us. If you are going to bring him on you have to give him the ball to his feet in the final 3rd of the pitch. On Wednesday we just continued to hit aimless long balls towards the area which Chelsea dealt with easily which makes bringing him on seem pointless.
I don't know why you seem surprised that he isn't full of confidence when people get on his back before he touches the ball.
He can be frustrating but get him playing with a little confidence and he is one of the most talented players we have got and the only one who can score a goal out of nothing.
Its not always so easy to give Seol the ball in the final third to his feet, especially when you are playing a team like Chelsea. Its not about his teammates bringing Seol in to the game and if he's not performing his teammates are to blame. Seol has to make himself available, he has to put himself about.
In this division we are not going to be in the position where we have plenty of possession and we can just spray the ball out to Seol with him advanced up the pitch in the final 3rd to receive it.
Seol has to be good all over the pitch...... He has to work hard everywhere down the flanks.
The Premier League is too high a level for Seol. That is the simple truth. There is only about 6 or 7 teams that we can play against where Seol could have a good game. He is not cut out for matches where we're not going to dominate.
Seol needs to be part of a top 6 Championship side, who regularly dominate matches and are able to control the game so much so that they can give Seol the ball in the final 3rd and it doesn't matter when Seol does nothing else for the team.
He was mildly influential whilst playing for Wolves in that way.... But even the Wolves fans found him frustrating. Seol's level is Championship unfortunately, but he can do a job against some of the weaker Prem sides. That means there are about 15 teams that Seol shouldn't be playing against.
I don't think Seol would be happy with just 10 games a season so he may as well go.
