According to reports not at best again, 4 games running

Think Golden Boy should be benched?

He has been wasted playing wide. He has no real pace. He can only be played as our No. 10.

People who are at the game and listening to commentary.
Not saying he want come good again, might be short on
Confidence or carry a niggle.
But his game has dropped  considerably last 4, regardless
what some clueless think.

To get the best from him he needs to be more central.

With Aluko injured this could have happened yesterday rather than Jozabed playing there.

central or left. He is too left footed to be a good inverted player.

He's also getting kicked from here to eternity.  But, he does (from a distance) appear to have lost some of the forward momentum he displayed at times last season and in the first few games of this.

Possibly the most talented player we have and possesses such a sweet left foot, the manager has a duty to get the best out of him. I think Cairney is close to performing well, just needs a little nudge in the right direction.

If we don't put him to good use their will be a queue for his signature in the winter window.

Think he's a tremendous player and we done really well to sign him for £2.5m-£3m when we did.

Great attitude and talent, so he will only get better :)

I did discuss him potentially coming more central in the latest Craven Corner post, for anyone who hasn't read it:

I think he should be central and at times, on Saturday, the midfield had absolutely no space, crying out for the ball to go back and be passed diagonally into space behind the defence with runners into those channels.   I think our build up was just too slow and deliberate perhaps because midfield is still smarting from the cost of their mistakes in previous  games.

To say he's had 4 bad games is harsh. 4 games ago he got MOTM and scored a 94th minute winner. Yes he hasn't been any where near his best since (thought he was ok vs burton however), but to suggest dropping our best player is beyond madness. Give him a rest Wednesday evening, and he will be back firing Saturday.

Never said he should be dropped, was asking the question should he be.
Hence ????????????.

We do enjoy tearing down our players don't we?

What if we played him up top?

If goals continue to lack, why not give Cairney a shout at striker. Knows where the goal is...

More central role for me.. the playmaker .. backed up by water carrier... or carriers.
