Felt like I saw him try to rev the crowd up when we won a throw in near the end when it was still 2-1, as he does, and literally no-one responded.

Calm blame the crowd really, I wouldn't have responded either.

Nice to have a good footballer in there, but it is a shame he's playing with a bunch of cardio vascular farm boys.

Sell in the summer to someone good in the summer and buy a couple more runners.

Tbf this was one of his auditions, not that Pep would ever go for him.

Beautiful bit of skill when he got clattered and played well overall I thought... Still wasteful when passing forward in to what should be good attacking positions which is quite infuriating.

Seems once or twice every game he plays a pass without the determination to actually make it effective in the way it needs to be.. can't decide if he thinks he's more capable than he is and doesn't take the care required, or rushes it. Either way needs to not waste those passes as that's the part of his game that will elevate him to a new level.

It was after he won the ball back and played it to no-one, put for a throw in. Thought he stank the place out tonight. For a big lad he doesn’t impose himself enough for me either

It's a common thing when it's looking likely someone will leave that people try to pick jokes in what they do to make them seem not that good and therefore make it easier to see them go.

I’m never hyperbolic about our players - good or bad. I’m
just saying what I saw last night. An awful performance from a player who I expect more from

I miss those cool tackles he did when he first arrived. Had a good sense of when to do it and great timing so I don’t know why he stopped unless the manager said he doesn’t want to see him going to ground?

It wasn't a dig at you. It was becoming evident on Twitter even before the pen miss. It's just the natural flow of player departure. Like the 7 staged of grief.

I really like him. I just think he needs to tone down geeing up the crowd, read the room a bit and realise some people are quite pissed off with the nature of the cup exit.

Just get your head down now, and concentrate on having a good second half of the season.
