Aribo and Arfield

[GreenockRanger]

Don't think I have seen 2 players in more need of a break, Arfield could hardly sprint at the end of the game. Aribo has been off it for a few weeks but he isn't contributing to games now and he does nothing going back the way. We can't keep going back to the same players for the rest of the season. Really concerned

 

[Davieblue1977]

Need benched

 

[JD1872]

The other problem is when we need to use the squad they won’t be match fit because they’ve had no minutes.

Surely we could have used Sakala and Roofe tonight

 

[karanja]

Both contributed very little but they weren't the only two.

 

[ScottyRFC1872]

Both need a rest

 

[Albertz_Was_King]

Arfield is not a good footballer.

 

[BrooklynBlue]

Arfield should have scored twice. If so, we could have used subs. Maybe.

 

[Clubdeckg]

Arfield shouldn't have started, at half time he should have been replaced by Sakala

 

[BRaven]

Arfield is not a good footballer.

Don’t talk pish man.

 

[Jose Calypso]

At least Aribo was getting on the ball. Arfield was non existent tonight.
I really like Arfield but think he may need a wee rest

 

[Gibraltar Loyal]

Lowry should have been on for Aribo

 

[Mview83]

Both out on their feet. Along with Alfie, Kent & Lundstram.

Being ran into the ground by the manager.

 

[Brian Laudrup]

Arfield is not a good footballer.

Bed time mate

no more internets for you tonight

 

[Pirlo]

Sakala has pace and energy, scored last week yet doesn’t get off the bench tonight?

I know he’s really wasteful but feck me I’ll take energy and running over what Arfields giving us right now which is very little.

 

[bkerr72]

He's had 1 game off since he returned from injury and that was Annan. Would love to know why he's intent on running Arfield into the ground.

 

[BWO]

I’m running out of patience with Arfield. He’s not contributing in the league games

 

[Blutoe]

Aribo has been knackered since the AFCON
Arfield was the invisible man for most of the match

 

[Sir Know it All]

Arfield regularly offers the shape and run our team needs but %^*& me his shooting technique is the utter shits

 

[shotta1974]

That pitch didn`t suit Aribo`s style of play, Arfield has looked tired last couple of games.

 

[T-Bear]

Lowry should have been on for Aribo

Will he get on the pitch if we aren’t 3-0 up?

 

[Careca]

No better tonight. Gio is unconvincing.

Tepid passing, tackling and reading of bounce balls. Almost drunken comedy display

 

[GreenockRanger]

His shooting is really annoying, side foots it when he should put the laces through it. Then smashes it over the bar when a simple finish is all that's needed

 

[Gibraltar Loyal]

Will he get on the pitch if we aren’t 3-0 up?

Will never happen then

 

[BRaven]

Gonna throw it out there that the players being mentioned in this thread are technical, one touch and who link up play.

A combination of tiredness, terrible ground conditions and a very well drilled St Johnstone team is going to have quite an effect on these types of players.

The two of them have been exceptional at times this season.

 

[Andy55]

Arfield is not a good footballer.

Airfield is a good footballer but burns out. as Before he will have a few weeks out the team and come back all guns blazing. Think he’s been over used

 

[DavieM]

I was amazed Arfield started tonight - he has looked gassed for a few weeks now but keeps getting a start.

Utterly bizarre management from Gio.

 

[Family bam]

Arfield is not a good footballer.

FFS.

 

[Papasteve82]

No better tonight. Gio is unconvincing.

Reading of bounce balls? The ball bounced on that pitch tonight like it was hexagonal.

Aribo has been off it for a few weeks but he isn't contributing to games now and he does nothing going back the way. We can't keep going back to the same players for the rest of the season. Really concerned

The manager choosing to run them in to the ground is unlikely to help.

 

[tumsheeheed]

Aribo was poor again Arfield should’ve put us on easy street strange there was no changes.

 

[Club Deck Pakora]

Arfield is not a good footballer.

Ok Jackie!

 

[Vince]

The other problem is when we need to use the squad they won’t be match fit because they’ve had no minutes.

Correct! …. lack of fitness for the bench warmers. The players on the park ran into the ground, and squad player’s alienated because not trusted to come on for even 10mins into a team dead on it‘s feet. These are the ABCs of mismanagement - without even touching on the parkhead tactics, JL appearing at CB, and the keeper situation.

 

[dennyperkins]

Both have been poor in our recent league matches.
I do feel that Aribo is much more effective playing forward rather than in midfield.

 

[6Counties]

Arfield needs to practice his finishing. Really poor again.

Aribo won MoM on Saturday did he not?

 

[rfc_chris_rfc]

Both players been ran into the ground along with Kent and it’s not a surprise all struggled tonight. Not one sub was shocking management, and sums up Gio. Compared to Gerrard he doesn’t rotate as much and we really need to start if we don’t want to run out of steam before end of season. I wouldn’t be starting either arfield or aribo against Aberdeen mainly because they are clearly knackered and need a rest.

 

[Delboy Trotter]

Aribo hasn’t kicked a ball since being away with Nigeria

Arfield is just a very average player that occasionally has decent spells before returning to normal levels of mediocrity

 

[leroyjohnson]

Both being run into the ground. Arfield, I’m particular is gubbed.

 

[TerrySilverLoyal]

Arfield is an important player who’s impact will be diluted playing 3 times a week

There’s a time and place to use him

Yes, agree they didn't contribute much at all.

 

[Vince]

Yep … the whole squad is littered with poor finishing if we are honest..

 

[Blair1310]

Cant wait for aribo to get back from the AFCON

 

[Cambuslangger]

Both at times have been vital to use so I am not going to criticise them for their overall contribution but they both are badly out of form. We need to be winning games early and rotate but its been a real struggle to do that. This run in will not be pretty. Thankfully the other mob are dire too. two rebounds tonight. We just can't catch a break.

 

[Live it up]

Arfield is not a good footballer.

Complete nonsense

 

[Partickger]

Arfield is now a good impact player off the bench and occasional starter. He looks knackered right now, no idea how he got the whole 90 minutes.

 

[Viper_RFC]

Arfield is not a good footballer.

Completely wrong, a valuable squad player.

Now if you debated whether he should be a regular 1st Team starter!

 

[Dotty_84]

I miss Hagi say what you want but he contributed to goals. Seems we lack that massively right now.

 

[China Bear]

They were both superb last year, Love the SA, but perhaps he has peaked - I hope I am wrong.

 

[Dotty_84]

Sakala this season 33 matches, 7 goals, 2 assist over all comps. 1394 mins played. 155 mins per goal.

Arfield 34 matches, 5 goals, 0 assists. 1825 mins played. 365 mins per goal.

Mind blowing we don't start Sakala. Half as many mins to score a goal and he's a more natural RW ffs!

Sakala isn’t the answer either but in games like tonight he'd be the better option.
