He also sees Silva every day and in the games he always makes an arse of.Irrelevant.
And how can you label that as 'nonsense' from Clement? He sees him every day in training etc, you don't.

Lundstram would never pick the pas Diomande played for Tav. Lundstram needs dropped just like Goldson.
In my experience when anyone has resigned/decided to leave any “job” they switch off to some degree, have less interest in their old position, and are more interested in their new position.If it's true that both Lundstram and Barisic have now signed deals with Trabzonspor, would it be unreasonable to bench them for the remainder of the season?
It can't be coincidence that Lundstram went from a POTY candidate to utter mince in the last 4 weeks, and it can only be because he's been preoccupied getting his next move lined up.
Bring Raskin in for Lundstram or put Sterling into centre midfield.
I like BR but he’s been nowhere near the squad since clement came in.Bailey Rice must be given a chance, I imagine if he was still at Motherwell he would be the mainstay in their midfield.
What sort of criticism would PC come under if he didn't pick his strongest 11 because some were leaving at the end of the season?If he is away I’d play Raskin until the end of the season, try and see if there is a player there.
We had a guy on the field yesterday whose actual numbers blow Kent clean out the water, it isn't even close, yet for a majority they can't wait to see the back of him.You mention Kent and this maybe unpopular but I wish we had a Kent on the field today,just my opinion
Of course it's the same and the evidence is before our eyes, Lundstrum has been absolutely dire.In my experience when anyone has resigned/decided to leave any “job” they switch off to some degree, have less interest in their old position, and are more interested in their new position.
Is it the same in football? I don’t know, but when players are running down their contract there’s often a dip in performance & commitment so for that reason I would rather they didn’t play, but we don’t have a big/fit enough squad to leave them out.
Is it a coincidence that Lundstram doesn't look as energetic since perhaps agreeing terms in Turkey?
It's a move he may come to regret very soon though as very few British players last long in Turkey.
I won't be sad to see him go though - it's time for us to allow Clement to build his team rather than having to rely on guys he's inherited.
Wouldn't be surprised if we weren't willing to give him the money he wanted and there's been little interest down South by all accounts so I'm not surprised he has went down the Kent route for a quick pay day.Is it a coincidence that Lundstram doesn't look as energetic since perhaps agreeing terms in Turkey?

It is surprising how little game time Raskin has seen since returning to the squad (presumably fit) but I don't think Bailey Rice is going to come in from nowhere for our remaining gamesSubconsciously maybe he’s underperforming which is understandable if he’s signed a new deal elsewhere, but still not acceptable for a key member of our team.
He should be dropped & replaced with Raskin or even Bailey Rice. Let’s face it, neither can be any worse than Lundstram has recently.
Good luck in the future Scouse John but your time is up!
I agree, but he should be given the chance to be the mainstay of our midfield going into next season, we are certainly missing Scottish blood in our team.It is surprising how little game time Raskin has seen since returning to the squad (presumably fit) but I don't think Bailey Rice is going to come in from nowhere for our remaining games

He would be slaughtered for not picking players whose wages we were still paying.
We shouldn’t be handing out a three year deal on massive ages to a guy who will be 31 soon.Sounded like Clement was keen to keep Lundstram but maybe we weren't prepared to meet his wage demands.
Also doesn't look like Raskin, Cantwell or Lawrence are particular favourites of the manager so will be interesting to see what we do.

I agree 100% and would rather we didn't keep Lundstram and built a midfield around DiomandeWe shouldn’t be handing out a three year deal on massive ages to a guy who will be 31 soon.
He doesn’t deserve it either

Yeah the money on offer may be good but you always hear stories before the season is up that they haven't been paid and want to come homeI am astonished that anyone of a decent level wants to play there, it very rarely works out well.
It's worrying that Clement wanted him to stay. Red flag for me.Sounded like Clement was keen to keep Lundstram but maybe we weren't prepared to meet his wage demands.

Raskin has about a 1/10th of the effectiveness of Lundstrum. He needs to be moved on. Btw I still don’t want to keep Lundstrum. Hard to understand what some folk see in Raskin, he’s awful, lacking strength and physicality.I honestly have no idea why raksin can’t get a game ahead of him??? Not as if Lundstrum is great at breaking up the play spraying the ball about starting attacks beating the press can someone tell me why he starts? He’s match fit that’s all a have? Raskin might not be great but he’s a million times more technical than JL and can pass
In any other job, would u switch off if there was a large bonus involved.In my experience when anyone has resigned/decided to leave any “job” they switch off to some degree, have less interest in their old position, and are more interested in their new position.

It's early days, but Rice is not in the same league as the likes of Diomande or Sterling - that's the level of player we need in our midfield.I like BR but he’s been nowhere near the squad since clement came in.
At this stage I’d maybe tend to agree but there’s definitely a space in the squad at least for him.It's early days, but Rice is not in the same league as the likes of Diomande or Sterling - that's the level of player we need in our midfield.

Lets see their effort vs Killie - any evidence of less than 100% then drop them!If it's true that both Lundstram and Barisic have now signed deals with Trabzonspor, would it be unreasonable to bench them for the remainder of the season?

I actually forgot all about himI like BR but he’s been nowhere near the squad since clement came in.
Cut and paste from another thread. Our top ten players over the season so far.
Tav clearly so high with his penalty conversions, but is ranked second across all the leagues in Europe.
It doesn't matter what stats say, he is complete dogshit.

He was a nightmare when he came in as wellhe showed that last season when he came in - so much so that when he was out the midfield was a shambles
this season post-injury he's been a shadow of himself
but while form in his rare outings has largely deserted him - effort seemed not to
watching Lundstram chuck it so many times lately, i'd rather we played Raskin to see if Phil can get a turn out of him next season
rather than play a guy giving bare minimum, with a slight chance of a good performance who is already planning his packing for leaving it seems
Interesting to see if Clement comments on this tomorrow, he has said several times that he expects a deal to be done with Lundstram but things seems to have progressed considerably with a move away.
Lundstram has been one of our better players under clement but his form has dropped considerably in recent weeks and over the course of his contract he has not done enough to merit a big contract.
The only point I’d make to counteract that on Lundstram is his full career with us has been riddled with inconsistency so I don’t think it’s just the contract situation.If it's true that both Lundstram and Barisic have now signed deals with Trabzonspor, would it be unreasonable to bench them for the remainder of the season?

that's a bit of a worry tbh - granted we haven't seen much of him but whenever we did he looked quite capable. Surely Clement should be giving him a look in.I like BR but he’s been nowhere near the squad since clement came in.
Well, you would know.It doesn't matter what stats say, he is complete dogshit.
You can’t talk to our star striker like thatWell, you would know.
