George (drop him or not?)

the shels match proved how badc george can play,in the past we have seen sheer skill and extreme ability out of george but at the mo' he just aint performing is he?he was woeful on saturday and his inconsistant performances are certainly not helping city,it has been posted elsewhere
that dan murray could fill in for george,personally i think we need to dip into the bank.

**if possible could a moderator add a poll to this**

fair enough, seems like a hot topic at the mo.

I've gone with in. to be fair, georgie's had one bad game. but the whole team did. george has been one of our more consistent players this season, and his work rate, i.e tracking back, harrying players has always been superb.

georgie IN.

I don't think he's had just one bad game....he's had a few to be fair. I think a number of the players need a rest at the moment...bring in some of the squad and freshen up the team a little...gone a bit stale lately....good oppurtunity against Dub City on friday for this.

On this basis lets set up a poll for every player who played on Saturday with the exception of Devine and Fenn. :rolleyes:

why is there always someone who has to have a go at every single discussion started on this forum??? :rolleyes:

John O'Flynn has been our worst player the past 2 months. No poll. Lordan and Woods were worse that George on Saturday, no poll about that either....so why George :rolleyes:

The form of O'Flynn has been discussed at length in other threads.

He played within himself against Pat's and he was poor against Shels, but as XR said, there are other players who're performing poorly aswell since the European adventure.

I guess the poll is just because we expect so much from George, so why not focus on what led to that expectation, he's been great all season and the thought of dropping him against DCFC, the type of game which could build all the lads up again is Daft (IMO)

Are you saying he's played well in every game this season??? If he had this discussion would not be taking place! George is one of our most high profile players and plays in probably the most important position on the pitch...midfield...so obviously there is gonna be more debate about him than about Lordan (he's not gonna make or break a game for us).

v UCD, v bohs. i know we lost both of these games, but when things arent going our way george doesnt seem to be interested.

george's play when he's at his best is second to none but we need that all the time and im not so sure we get that,shels match was the sort of match a guy like himshould have excelled in,considering the radio ad about gettin the duns and so on,wouldnt that spurred georgie on?he's always on abput how great cork is etc.

i wonder has he fallen into "i'll do what's best for georgie" mode again. . .

i'll say no more thats what i think anyway :(

Agreed. Those 3 have been excellent and consistent this season.

I meant Lordan is not gonna win a game for us as we expect our high profile players to do. Last Saturday was City's biggest game of the season so far, in terms of the league, and that's when you need your top players to play well. The shels players played very well saturday despite running themselves ragged wednesday night against depor. Many of our players (not just george in case you think i'm picking on him too much) played poorly after having over a week without a match. if you can't be up for playing shels in a big game like that its bad news!!

XR, Stop , you're making me sick.

Come out please from Georges @rsehole this minute.
We'll get rid of Father Mattew and put up a statue of George instead shall we ?

Why should we have a pop at other players cos George is playing poorly?, how does that make sense.
CM is a vital position within the team and if the player currently occupying that spot ain't doing the biz then he should be replaced.

I'm with XR here, georgie has been one of the better city players this season and just cause he hasnt played well in a couple of matches he should be dropped......and to suggest that dan murray can play there instead is just ridiculous...Georgie is one of our better players and to single him out for some poor team performances is just plain ****.....

I think this thread is distasteful. Nothing wrong with resting any player after an intense few weeks, but this thread has the feel of a witch hunt about it.

There's no need to be so dramatic about it...."witch hunt" :rolleyes: :rolleyes: . Why wasn't the thread about O'Flynn called a witch hunt?? I know there is a "big georgie fan club" out there but surely you can accept a little criticism of him not performing in the biggest game of the season?

In all honest if our players were relying on radio ads to get spurred on then I'd be worried about the motivation from our management. ;)

Still waiting for these games George has played poor in.

City 2-3 Waterford
City 0-2 Shels
City 0-0 Drogheda
City 0-1 Bohs

From what i remember he wasn't great in any of these games against teams with tough midfields.
