      The atalanta game for example, got singled out on a night when everyone was poor. To call him a total liability is ridiculous,  Trent has been abysmal defensively this season but because he is so good going forward it is overlooked

      No.

      Trent and Neco dont make the same sentence at present. Trent is miles ahead defensively as well.

      I may be wrong but I am sure as hell not giving up on the lad on the basis of a couple of games.

      Not good enough for a team with our aspirations but not really his fault is it?

      If everyone was fit I doubt he’d even ever see the bench except for maybe cup games. Should probably be on loan at a championship team but due to circumstances, well, he’s your starter.

      I dont blame Neco for anything really it's just the way it is. The amount of stick he takes personally on twitter is ridiculous.

      Hes our only option now and in a way it might take some pressure off him. After him its Curtis Jones who really cant play that position and will be needed elsewhere anyway.

      The cupboard is bare and he is very important to us now as our best solution we have available.

      erm hang on if Trent has been "abysmal" defensively, which he hasn't been, then how can you say Neco is ok???

      Neco is constantly caught on the ball, passes the ball into dangerous positions and is a complete headless chicken going forwards. I had high hopes for the lad but if he is getting hooked by Jürgen who if anything is far to loyal to players then you know he's bad, to argue otherwise is absurd.

      We all want him to do well especially in TAA's absence but I don't think he's the answer for us.  At times he thinks he's Cryuff, gets caught on the ball, his positioning isn't as good as it should be, yes he's 19 and he has a fair bit to learn but right now, we can't afford to be letting him learn on the job.

      I'd rather have Milner there any day. Injuries have fu**ed that and now he's out injured, we aren't left with many options. I just hope his confidence isn't totally fu**ed from all the cu*ts abusing him online.

      He is but its not like we rotate that much, and Millie can slot in.

      I suspect we rejected this as we really wanted Tiki gone out for games, and you cant loan 2 players from the same club

      Chancing their arm.

      Looked at it and seen we barely rotate at FB and that Milner can play there as well.

      Glad it never happened as Neco should be playing a few more games in my opinion.

      We are in danger of properly burning some of our lads out this season which could run into problems next year.

      I think he would look out of place in the championship - this is the sort of underinvestment some of have been complaining about.

      Wasn't the best out there but his hunger and drive were there for all to see and in moments like this, I think we could do with a lot more playing in the same way.

      He wanted to help, just wasn't very helpful.

      I can't understand the tactics of the Boss....gaping hole down the left flank where that young kid just kept on getting the ball in acres of space and Neco was near the CF trying to cover him, Trent came on and did the exact same thing and have seen the same from Trent all season.

      Man the F**k up!! Cut that sh*t out!!

      How about we try out our back 4 staying as a back four. Stop getting up the pitch, stay back defend and see what happens instead of always bombing on and leaving huge spaces for Teams to hit us on the counter!

      Played better the second half than the first and of Gomez and Virg are back there, I actually don’t think he looks that bad, but without a solid pairing, he looked very exposed.

      Hear hear.

      Struggled big time in my eyes hard time to come in to a side deep in crisis but other than the Jota cross he offered nothing and was constantly caught out by Lookman - Ali was really frustrated with him too.

      He tried. It’s just a bad look when you’re relying on him to create chances. He’s just not at the required level when it comes to attacking or defending. Needs a loan in the summer.

      Hope Neco gets a loan move to a good club next season. Regular matches would bring him on no end

      Why loan him out? Pretty clear he won't cut it here. Ship his ass down river. Truth hurts, but it is what it is.

      Big mistake for wales just now. I only just turned it on and was surprised to see him playing Tbf.

      Much to learn...
