Yes, I agree with the above.. The argument is thus: He is not playing his best position. He makes mistakes. He gets mentioned more than others in forum. Wtf gets upset.Quote:

And I'm not "upset", just unclear as to why what's "good for the goose" appears not to be "good for the gander"
For me WTF, yes Alioski is consistently playing out of position and as a result is consistently making costly mistakes. Therefore he is getting a lot of attention.Quote:

Ok well at least we agree on the tactic, and do those who have consistently failed to recruit a suitable left back, which results in a requirement for someone to play out of position, no matter who, get suitably regular, critical, mention? I think not. One rule for the player, another for the club/management. Inequity personified.Quote:

I think that it is difficult to judge the management team in the same light, genuinely because we don't know if they tried to recruit a LB or not. Its possible that they believed Dallas, Alioski and Davis was enough cover or we didn't have enough left in the kitty.Quote:

We all know we don't sign people in January anymore as it takes them to long to get used to our style and they rarely prove value for money.
So management get away with not doing what was clearly required, for years not months, but the player (who has never complained either publicly or privately about his being consistently played out of position, or the sh1t that he has had thrown at him via multiple sources), has in fact proved a real asset to the team performance and spirit, yet who is expected to try and plug the gap gets universally crucified, unlike those who put him in that position.Quote:

Rubbish, what I said was management may have believed they had good enough cover in that position, inclusive of Alioski. Therefore they used the clubs limited resources to strengthen elsewhere.Quote:

Over the season it is apparent that Dallas, Alioski etc have not developed to Premier standard in that position. Dallas imo has performed better in the LB role than Alioski but still hasn't been brilliant there.
Can't believe some on here still want to put forward their opinion in the hope that certain others will accept it.....
