Just don’t feel it with Sam Morsy, I know he’s not obliged to and we’ve been spoilt with great fan engaging captains over the years and he’s following in the footsteps of one of those greats but it’s always nice for some sort of connection between the skipper and the fans, he just trudges round applauding half heartedly at FT most of the time in amongst the group.

He's one of the worst on the pitch captains I've seen. I saw more heart from Humphreys on sat and that's after morsy gave it the big "we need you" speech.
Its his first half performances which has set the tone imo for the rest of the side. When he's on it.. then he has a positive effect. |
I pity any club you are involved with, you really are pathetically clueless about football |  |

Nope, as an FA talent scout he is the epitome of a non prem league battler. This guy will get you out of a hole when needed. |
Agree.
But people still wet themselves about Barry Bannon’s first half performance and not Sam Morsy’s second half one. |  | | |

haha Lets find anything at the moment on this forum.
What connection do you want?
He's our best player (most of the time) and leads by example. I'll have that over someone who is mostly hopeless but gives a good air punch at the end.
ALso was trying to gee the crowd up at a corner in the first half? [Post edited 13 Feb 2023 12:11]

So if Holland gave 110% which I don't dispute albeit mathematically impossible , what does Morsy give in your opinion based on the stat for Holland ? |
The 110% thing gets on my nerves. Impossible! haha | | | |

Yeah.. After Davis told him to talk to the players.
A player telling a captain that he needs to talk to players.. really? |
I didn't spot a conversation with Davis. What I saw was the ball went out for a throw in close to where we were. Morsy immediately turned round and gestured to players individually to calm down. Davis was on the other side of the pitch.
FWIW, I can't agree with you about Morsy's commitment levels or performance levels generally. He plays with bite, which we've missed for years, and he rarely loses the ball or misplaces a pass. I will agree that occasionally, like you, I get a little frustrated that he doesn't play a risky or quicker pass, but we have others who do that (with various amounts of success) and if we don't have players whose job is to keep the ball, then our possession-based game will fall flat on its face. | | | |

Davis said in his interviews he spoke to Morsy.
It was also mentioned on here by another poster after the game.
So again. Nothing to do with I follow in game footage.
And again. I've tried to stick to the performance of morst rather than words. Waving arms etc as that can happen elsewhere. It can be done by anyone. I saw humphreys at one point wave his arms. So it's normal.
My points in this thread have mainly been around his lack of drive, determination and being to safe. To many negative performances from him as a player which imo has a negative effect on those around him.
But look. Like burns. He's got his fans. They won't hear of any negativity about his performances. So it's pretty pointless tbh. Just had to get involved when I see people lauding over him as an on pitch captain. [Post edited 13 Feb 2023 13:21]

Interesting take. You'd probably have a point if I hadn't moan about morsy for a while. | |

It's not about not hearing negativity, it is that he is clearly our best and most important player, and that he is doing this alongside a revolving door of midfield partners.
A couple of games he hasn't been at his best, but his base performance level is still good and he is still a net positive.
Sometimes the role he ends up playing isn't to his strengths, but he still plays the role well and again, is a net positive. |  |

Now I know you are on here to either wind people up purposefully to get some attention, or you are just as thick as mince.
Thanks for the confirmation. |  | | |

I don’t agree with this and nor does TWTD player ratings. He’s the stand out performer over all games. He may have dipped on pitch recently as have many but he is an important player on and off pitch. | |

His twitter is well worth avoiding, some fairly disappointing stuff on there. |

The point is my friend, I don't think you can reasonably question his drive and determination. He carries the ball better than most other players, he is committed and he never shirks a challenge. To those ends, he leads by example. It is fair to point out that his distribution is generally safe and this can be at the expense of a more risky attacking option. Whether that is a good or bad thing is moot. Personally, I would like to see him mix it up a little more, but not at the cost of regularly losing possession. | | | |

Brave of you Sitters I guess. People didn't like Luke Chambers. People are idiots.
Morsy is a decent enough captain but he's not Magilton, Chambers or Holland. Dunno what people want these days given the social media factor etc. |  |

So sometimes 60% and sometimes 100% right ? Is that more so a consistency issue if you're correct ?
Considering all the talk about Bannan during the build up and as much about him prior to the build up with him being out weeks before - how would you mark his performance on Saturday then again out of curiosity and for context ?
Morsy our of 10 and Bannan out of 10 ? |
Bannan tends not to dwell on the ball, so maybe his performances aren't as obvious as other players.
But he took the quick free kick for the first goal, played the ball into the box for the second, knocked another ball into the box in the first half to an unmarked player, and played the ball to an unmarked Flint near the end of the second half.
If that was an off day, I'd like to see him when he is playing well.
And he is the one type of player we don't have at the moment, namely, someone who is regularly able to play both a quick and accurate ball. [Post edited 13 Feb 2023 18:14]

I like Sam. Every captain is different but he surely must have the total respect of all the players. And quite apart from his perhaps quieter personality, he's maybe less inclined to react to the crowd if he thinks the team has not got a decent result. | | | |

I was asking Frimmers how he compared the two skipper’s performances to be fair
Don’t disagree with most of what you’ve said but again was just trying to get some context from another poster
That said , think I’d stick with Morsy over the two players given the option |  |

Sorry, I hadn't really been following the whole thread, and so merely latched on to your post on its own.
I think the thing is they are two excellent but different players. | | | |
