Obviously bigging him up for the Jan window !

 

 

 

TBF Tonda can hardly say ‘yeah, he’s a lazy fat layabout’ even if he thinks it. The likes of Redknapp used to but only after a long career. Not at the start they didn’t.

Eckert told the Echo, “I am very happy with Joe. He has been excellent every time he has come on, and he is in very good shape. "

Round is a shape to be fair

Ari-bo more like Arib-go. Zero effort for a lot of weekly wage.

I thought he was injured when he came on. It could be in his contract that he must play a certain amount of games.

Just hope he pisses off in January, wages must be costing us a packet which would be better spent on someone who will put a proper shift in

Usually I'm blinkered about our players, while they are here, and blindly optimistic. As an example, I still think downs needs minutes. I like Stephens.  I thought Mara was ok. I wanted Carrillo to have more of a chance. I thought dia showed flashes of skill. Baz is in my top eight all time saints keepers.

Even I can see aribo has been hopeless. What is his top speed? I don't think we know, because his acceleration is so slow that he never gets there. He needs a hundred yards to gather momentum and as such, just lopes around and watches players run past and away from him. I always consider it game over when he comes on. He's like the antichrist. Or the Antiscienza.

 It is a real shame as he's shown he's a good player on the rare occasion, so is it just consistency or laziness or indeed both?

Antiscienza, love it 🤣

Shockingly terrible again today. Looks like he’s finished, embarrassing.

[S-Clarke]

Yeah he wasn't very good, we lost the entire control of that midfield once Jander went off and he came on.

He was awful. That tackle by the way - red card worthy, no idea wtf he was doing. He's so off the pace it's unreal. 

[ErwinK1961]

Feels like he’s been bought back in purely because he’s getting paid a meaty salary so we want something for our money. But it’s time to just pay him off and be done with it. The fact he wears number 7 adds more insult.

He doesn’t want to be here, we don’t want him. See ya.

It’s a shame about Aribo. When he joined I was quite excited. He was highly rated had been good at Rangers and started off pretty well but never really did much with us. Always thought he was better than given credit for but probably best for everyone he leaves and probably should have gone 18 months ago 

[AlexLaw76]

He looks lost when playing further forward. How we now play is stretching teams and running/passing into space etc

Aribo is very much a player who wants it to feet. Him coming on further forward seems to allow their defence to step up that little bit.

[Fabrice29]

The very definition of a player who needs a run of games to get rhythm but there’s no way he deserves that here. Uncomfortable with the talk about his attitude though, it’s lazy. He’s clearly just lost all rhythm and his qualities do not lend themselves to being a sub at all 🤣

I think that lungeing tackle came from his not controlling a ball when it came to him. He then appeared to chase it recklessly and go in for a challenge. At the time expected a red card to come out.

Fuck him off in Jan, past it

Agreed on both counts. I do think he's past his best too and should be moved on gracefully. He has been a decent squad player but not any more.

Putting a player in the shop window - It's never been more obvious.

Trouble is, Joe will eat the whole display if it’s edible.
