Cajuste and Taylor dont compare with some of the better CMs in the Championship.
Azor is a solid holding midfielder but he needs a box to box man next to him, or a no.10 that can control the game (Nunez a big miss today).
We need a Hayden Hackney style player, I know we aren't getting him but someone similar is needed

Under appreciated? The bloke has been kept out of the side by Jack Taylor, someone who couldn’t get a look in last Luongo and Morsy 2 years ago. Not to mention he can’t last anything past 60 minutes.
He’s garbage. I’d have honestly sent him back to Napoli, or just not bothered signing him last summer again. |
The worst thing is we are stuck with him ( and Akpom ) if we do somehow manage to get promoted this season. It's almost worth another season in the Champ just to get rid of that obligation. |  | | |

Poor!? That seems incredibly harsh.
I think back to just Bristol City in the week, I thought we had dropped a Rolls Royce in midfield, thought he was excellent.
Everyone sees the game differently, I see a real high quality footballer, technically he’s so good, and his football brain is so good.
What I would say is that I think Jens suits certain games, and Taylor probably balances it out by suiting a different type of game - as a pair they have a lovely blend. |
He has technique in spades but not much use in the championship if you can’t get about the pitch win tackles and battles, especially in a midfield 2. Yes against Bristol City he looked good first half but was completely gassed at 50 mins.
He was brought in at great expense to create, he currently has 4 goal contributions. |  |

Joel Piroe and Dan Neil please. I love Hirst but I hate to say it, he seems to have a case of the New Longterm Contracts. Piroe is exactly what we need. Neil would be a brilliant addition. |  |

Hard to do much when we keep letting teams bully us in midfield. Cajuste needs outlets and when he only had Jack Clarke yesterday what do people expect?
Taylor is full of energy and effort but he does a bit of everything competently, very little excellently. Nothing wrong with that, but fans seem to love his busyness over his effectiveness.
McKenna seems to have got the balance wrong, the recruitment from Ashton has question marks over it this season and you can see it when games desecend into a dogfight and we fail to stamp oursevles onto a team. That's collective not individual. |  |

To the untrained eye Cajuste probably is under appreciated just how good he is, so that would explain why you may think he’s not been excellent. |
‘To the untrained eye’ - hang on a minute, you were saying we should’ve sold Clarke and Philogene in the summer. The fact you rate Cajuste makes me all the more confident that he’s not good enough, you’re the one with the untrained eye. |  | | |

Knew that would get a little bite, lovely.
I would have sold either of them if we could get anywhere near the money back on them, and I still would. Both talented boys, will produce moments at this level (as you’d hope for £20m a pop), but still don’t see either as long term solutions. Individually they’re talented boys, but there’s more to a top footballer than moments, and there’s more to building a squad than putting in the most talented players - the pieces of the puzzle have to fit to get the right balance and blend across the board.
As I say, these are only things you see with a trained eye, would expect you to be on the same page as me on this one. |  | | |

1 defeat in 8 and he’s got the balance wrong, yeah. | |

Probably Azor's worst performance for us today.
With all these away games coming up in February we need to get a team selection specifically for away sorted out pronto...cos that today was a shambles. |
The problem is just as was with Morsy Azor is on a tightrope, one booking away so he's possibly been told to hold back on tackling and also he's an ever present with no backup.
Why is it believed that some players need rotating and not others.
In the old days of the Mariners. Warks, Beatties etc unless a serious injury prevented them from playing they played every game.
Football in general is played on better pitches than the ploughed up fields they used to be.
Could our pitch be our achilles heal in a way because we play st home on a very decent pitch whereas away from home some of the pitches are virtually unplayable. | | | |

Good to see you’re still in denial about Clarke and Philogene then.
‘Producing moments’ is more than you could say about Cajuste, who you called a ‘Rolls Royce’. As Kieran_Knows said, what else does he even offer outside of beating someone on the turn? Even that gets us in trouble sometimes. He can’t even get in the team consistently over Taylor, who is kept out of the Ireland team by Jayson Molumby most matches, please enlighten me as to how Cajuste is so brilliant.
