Not only did he get pelters last night, but the guys sat behind me at PR had written him off ten minutes into his debut too.even saw him being compared to Jordan Spence….
Why do we do it?!
He’s settling into a new system, with new players. He also provided an inch perfect assist against one of the best defences in the world.
Winds me up no end when players are seemingly written off after a handful of minutes.
I hope he does well for us and loves a lot of people wrong. |  | | |  |

There is a danger in reading too much into what a few drunks at an away game say in the heat of the moment. We haven’t done much losing the last two years, now that’s changing there’ll sadly be more dimwitted targeting. |  |

I didn't pick up on any of that, thought he did fine. Nobody was poor, with the exception of two badly defended free kicks for which we might point at our CBs. |  |

Because in this day and age people need instant gratification and are quick to jump to wrong conclusions. So far we have had Muric, Davis(!) and now Johnson slagged off - after three games. These guys are elite sportsmen. Those doing the criticising are elite fools. I suspect most of them only started watching us a year ago, or less. |  | | |

Not been hugely impressed with him so far, however i've certainly not written him off. We have seen KM work his magic on far too many players to be writing people off after a couple of games.
I would certainly never give any player pelters at the game either, but I think it is fair to offer analysis and opinion on this board regarding player performances as long as it remains balanced and respectful.
Unfortunately we do have a few that jump straight in with the knee-jerk "Muric is awful" type comments 20 minutes into his debut, but I guess that is always going to be the case. |  | | |

Not being impressed with a lad who played 30 mins in the first game, set up our only goal of the season so far in a backs to the wall effort against the best side in Europe and then played a part in a game where plentiful new players were bedded in seems somewhat weird/unfair.
That's both balanced and respectful. |  |

Well it is balanced if you actually read the full post rather than just pick out the part you seemingly don't like. It's almost as if you were just looking for an argument..... | | | |

I thought it was Taylor to be honest. |
To be fair he wasn't great when he came on against Liverpool, and gave the ball away similarly against Wimbledon. Think he's a decent player but having moved down the pecking order, needs an injection of confidence. |  |

I don't think it's picking on a player.
He's come in as an upgrade on clarke and tuanzebe and Donacien. I don't know what I think of him yet. I really can't work him out. It's early days of course. I don't think people are picking on him it's more of all signings he's not shown himself as yet as an automatic upgrade on what we had compared to others we have seen.
But also. He's played more minutes than the majority of our new players too. |  |

Muric reminds me of Hutchinson when we first signed him on loan, he's not the finished article and a few tweaks to the way he plays and he can be very good. It's not about ignoring his instincts, it's about recognizing when not to risk it. | | | |

Thought he didn't have a great game last night but not really set up for him with Wimbledon butting a defensive block on. He'll be a good signing long term. | |

Then you're expectations are completely unrealistic and you need to adjust them. As another poster has pointed out. | | | |

People go over the top both ways, but you’re allowed to call out a poor performance, without him being a ‘scapegoat’. McKenna clearly agrees too👀 | | | |

He blows a bit hot and cold; he's a bit too nice on the pitch really - I'd love to see him being a bit more aggressive, but he's got it all there if he can be a bit more consistent. |  |
