Many on this board like Jeffro thought he was the saviour. Last night was his first game against a forward who had clever movement. Morison was finding holes all over the place. Vassell and Yakubu were very static on Sat and Middlesbrough were dreadful. But last night showed why Shittu hasn't cut it in the Prem. Any forward with a bit of nouse will find gaps to exploit when being marked by him. Hejust doesn't have a football brain. Give him long balls and he'll be fine but find the gaps and he struggles. It was a performance very typical of watching Damion Stewart. He woule be brilliant one minute and dog sh1t the next. 2nd half last night he was absymal.
Makes me laugh that Connolly got slated on Sat for allowing the ball to bounce 2 or 3 times on Sat (very rare as he has been part of the best defence in the land) and he gets slated. Well on each occasion he did jys enough to put Waghorn off from scoring. Last night was just 2 long balls and his positioning was shocking. First one he shoudl have called for it and then cleared it. Both he and Gorks just left it for each other. Their line was too high. But the last goal was just comical. Shittu was so high up the pitch and a bog standard 60 yard punt up field saw him in no man's land on the wrong side of the man and he brought Morison down for the pen and was quite rightly sent off.
I like Shittu and hopefully he can get us over the line. However, he is not a long term answer. He has many flaws. But most important he doesn't have a football brain and gets away with a lot because of his strength, buty my god last night had Gorks or Connolly made such a mistake they would have been slaughtered on here, but as per usual people watch Rangers with their rose tinted glasses.
Hopefully Gorks and Connolly back on Sat. The tried and trusted centre back pair who have been the best in the land out of all 92 professional teams.
