once that has gone or appears to not be there the fans turn and its a slippery slope. I think some grow into that expectation and relish it- gana gueye is one, doucore did too, some don't- nyarko being a prime example for me.

But some never, ever feel comfortable. Schneiderlin like Stephen Hughes for us oldies never settled and never played to his ability as our CM fulcrum.
Both players lacked the personality and intensity to deal with the peculiar pressure cooker environment inside and around the club. Oddly enough being a smaller cog at a more media intense club can be easier to manage than being expected to be the main man with us.
They both seemed to me like they more or less had mental breakdowns on the pitch, shrinking away from responsibility and becoming completely negative in outlook. Previous Message
For a while that was huge part of our problem, they were almost all cowards. Many a game Seamus would come on and be the only one driving us forward. He was miles off our best attacking player, he just wasn't a shit back. Previous Message
One of the most lazy, cowardly wastes of talent we've seen at the club....and that's saying something. Wouldn't have minded if he was just out and out shit, but he had potential to be so much better if he'd given even the tiniest fraction of a shit about anything other than picking up his vastly overinflated wages.
