What? Are you mental? Do you even watch football? Half this forum are mentals, yes!! I said "mentals"
He just doesn't care any longer, doesn't work, doesn't do anything. Awful player.

He hasn't been consistently good for the last 2 years now.
That bad.
tirednessIt's not just about getting back to his best form. His lack of urgency to track back once got beaten is puzzling. He doesn't seem to give 100 percent anymore.
Me balls. It's not about scapegaoting. It's about pointing out Paddy has been poor.
He has been.
Correct.
He hasn't impressed this season. He's be alright. Maybe the reason you are impressed with him is cause how low your expectations have gotten with him due to his poor performances last season. Personally I thought he would be worse if not on par with his performances last season and on wednesday was the only game where I didn't see him do some sort of feck up. He was tracking back pretty well for that game but prior to buttner's start he's had some sort of feck up here or there that has led to a chance for the other team.Naively presuming we start from scratch at the start of the season, I've been mildly impressed with him this term. Thought he was pretty good the other night. Slick offensively, positionally sounder in defence. Don't see the tiredness thing.

Wednesday was good though and if he can build on it then maybe he can only get better from here on in. Regardless of what anyone thinks, getting buttner was a good move and provides a competition that LB was seriously lacking.

Oh for sure, just saying that the kid wasn't a name or anything, practically no one had heard of him and everyone in holland was shocked by the move.[/B]
Would be astounded if you found anyone on the Caf that did not think that.
Thought he was awful. If Buttner plays well in the CC then we should give him a chance against Spurs (and Lennon) next week.
He wasn't bad. But once again when he went forward, and we ended up losing possession, he was late to get back at left back and we were open.
Did well against Sterling though.
I never want to see him in the starting team anytime soon.
Our other back 3 and keeper won us the game today for a lot of last ditch stuff.
Going forward he was quite poor though.
People going overboard again I think. He was okay today, got beaten by Sterling a few times, who to be fair, is a good, young player who is in tremendous form, but also put in a couple of decent challenges and, basically, wasn't as bad as a few of you are making out.
Was poor most of the times today.
Hopefully Fergie doesn't play Evra into the 40's.
I don't know. Felt like he was hanging on by his fingernails. Against a 17 year old rookie. He did ok, no more.
To be fair he wasn't helped by having a woefully out of form Nani ahead of him.
Thought he was poor myself. What a let off when they took Sterling off.
