From turning draws into wins
I've been saying it for ages now, get him fit ASAP
And he can score goals too, play him behind a striker In a further forward position
Rose tinted glasses:
PL Appearances 52
Goals 3
Assists 2
Yes, we need a midfield controller and he's the one we have. Is he THE one to save us? Maybe, but maybe not.
Never in a million years.

Cairney is a favourite player of mine and that sweet left foot should result in him scoring goals at a reasonable rate. Have to admit though that perhaps the premier league demands someone faster and more physical. Very brave of Parker to leave him out of starting elevens and it did seem to benefit the team.
Would love to see a fit Tom Cairney return to the team with a top performance and a couple of goals.
I'm not so sure that TC is the missing link but he is definitely missed, maybe not as a regular starter but at the very least he gives Parker another option.
tom in this team would be great thing but without a forward line it is all academic.
clear man of the match v west brom and i dont buy into this not good enough for the prem one size fits all
against certain teams he will be good enough to unlock games
against other, better teams thats when you can say he's out of his depth and fall back on rlc's magic.
not every prem team is man city quality
and the west broms of this world are the teams where 3 points are up for grabs.
where were the posters saying +1 when he had a run of 3 or so games despite a knee injury where he was premiership class?
posters on here have selective memories to suit their agendas
its funny to see the posters who dislike tc give rlc praise at the drop of a hat and then go mia when he underperforms.
tc probably wont play again till easter anyway through injury and only then from the bench
TC definitely has had his moments this season - he was class against West Brom, West Ham and scored a worldie versus Crystal Palace.
I would also argue that he is the clubs biggest legend in the last 4-5 years.
Deserves another opportunity to prove himself (and I back him to do so!)

True, not much good having a midfield creator if there's nobody to thrive on the supply.After seeing TC run into form earlier this season I now have no doubt he is Prem quality. I'm less sure about Mitro sadly, although I still think he needs a chance simply because there are so few alternatives,

Yeah well maybe Mitro needs Tom On the pitch to be at his best...
In my opinion the haters are small minded, all this he's not good enough nonsense I don't know where it comes from, when TC is playing well he is easily prem quality and then some..
he needs a run of games and his confidence back.

He's not a bit part player, he needs to play consistently to be at his best
I think we have been blinded by how bad we look. Cairney is the king of playing square or negative passes. He doesnt have enough of a cutting edge or engine. He is a "tweener" player to me and a great Championship level guy, but not good enough for the Prem.
I'd definitely have him in the team against the likes of Brighton, West Brom et al
He's somewhat a 'luxury player' who doesn't do enough with or without possession against the better teams, but he can absolutely dominate Championship and bottom 6 PL opposition
Hahahaha,,,missing link
Possibly but it's all academic isnt it as he's long term injured - if we see him again this season I'd be suprised

Not that bad is it ?
Nobody knows
I reckon he's a game or two away
Think Tom's done at this club,will be gone I Summer Window I believe.
Love watching Tc play but we have conceided so few goals without him in the side ,which is no coincidence unfortunately.

Either that or we will keep him for the Championship
Been playing with a dodgy knee for a couple of years, a wonder he's played so well at times.
Needs lots of time to hopefully recover.

Could be right I think. And in regards to the OP, I think Stefan had a better chance of converting our draws into wins and he's been shipped out. Parker is limited in his ability to manage, spot and nurture talent of other players who can add in the attacking third, not a huge suprise given the type of player he was, but simply becoming more evident. He doesn't do 'creative' well, or understand it.
its the other knee parker said
and they are wanting to try something different to an operation
I don't see Cairney as the missing link, in fact I think we've moved past him.

IMO I think you sum up Parker's coaching credentials very well and I haven't been missing Cairney in the current side because it isn't very creative in the strict meaning of the word. For Cairney to prosper we require possession and a return to a style reminiscent of Jokanovic's best days when we 'moved' opponents around until they could be opened up with just one pass or touch of creative magic. Parker's methods are more akin to grinding out results by covering all the bases and, to be fair to him, when it works it can be very impressive. However, when it goes wrong it can be horrible to watch.
One point that sticks in my throat in this thread is when we are reduced to Cairney lovers or haters, small or large minded by virtue of 'our belief' or ' our opinion'. Society and MSM is full of this right now and it is very, very, very unhealthy for everybody - and I do mean everybody.
Where are you seeing all these people hating him from🤔

If you bothered reading the thread you wouldn't need to ask ...
Still can't see anybody saying they hate him.🤔
I watch every game. I feel when TC plays, the team is much better. (OK, he has not played so much). His ability to pick a pass is right up there with the best. Yes, his stats in the premier don't look so good when based on final product. But individually, he brings a lot of others into the game. He is committed to Fulham and I hope he can get over his injury and get back.
Anguissa and Reed are our steel but the pair of them don't have an eye for a creative ball
That's exactly what we are lacking
Toms not that old and still has a few Very good years in him,
People writing him off already ? Bunch of fickle fly by night supporters
When we were relegated, within days Tom and Alex signed 5 year deals to stay with us. We all thought it was great news but it also told us they thought they were not PL players.
I suspect our loan players are on a big bonus to stay up and that is why heads are beginning to drop as each game goes by without a win.

You imagined the heads dropping. That we definitely havent seen this year- in a single game !
I have not noticed heads dropping tbh,
