SnoopDocky91newblueThe view was that the player was not up to the standard of the championship. We had countless posts saying the same thing about a lot of the players. Suggests to me some people’s opinions are pretty poor. Lots were saying that (after the consensus had been we’d recruited very well albeit with some flaws) the new players on the whole were duds.
The big question was could CD get the players performing, moving the ball quickly and playing attacking football. I think that’s getting answered, and it looks very encouraging. Another big test against Boro, the away form needs to be a lot better.
Completely agree it’s been answered. I think the big issue with Paik previously (and 99% certain I said it in this thread but cba to find it, but also the poster Amy has quoted alludes to it) is that Paik was unsubable which was where alot of the criticism came from. As Amy said, he wasn’t particularly worse than some of the players but he was the only one not being changed, and if we’re taking the benefit of hindsight look at how well Doyle has played since coming in, albeit not for Paik.
Also to correct Amy, he’s not a defensive midfielder, he’s a deep lying playmaker. You can’t change his role when his stats get better to prove an argument.
A deep lying playmaker is generally seen as a subset of defensive midfielder.
I would argue the role of a Defensive Midfielder by definition is much more an anchor or ball winner than a playmaker.
So making Paiks goal contributions seem good for a Defensive Midfielder is a bit disingenuous.
Anyway no need to sweat the small stuff, 3 wins from 4 including back to back 4-0 wins, up the effing Blues.
They’ve all had a few below par performances but Paik never hides.
Your right Amy Paik has t been worse than anyone else.
Back in August Lee He drive said he’s the best defensive midfielder in the championship and I tend to agree and he’s added goals and assists to his game since then.

Not at all.
Unless you think the likes of Pirlo, Kroos, Scholes or Xavi are defensive midfielders??

I really like Paik, I really like Iwata too. Neither of them are the best defensive midfielder in the championship.
I’d say there’s a really good crop of players that they fit into.
Baker, Grimes, Hackney, Soumare, Winks, Matusiwa are very good.
On Paik, Davies added: “Football is all about opinions and we welcome that but to think he had any critics for me is ludicrous. He’s an outstanding player
From the Mail interview tonight
Ludicrous is being generous
I think Iwata is turning into the best championship right back.
Paik is up there with the guys you’ve mentioned and he will be the only one of those (and to be corrected on their international allegiance) the only one 1️⃣ of them at the World Cup.
Not like football fans to be fairweather opinionated asshats eh?
Missed him massively today. Doyle needs his athleticism around him and Leonard can’t hold a candle to him in possession.
Hope he’s not out for a while
Onel HernandezWas he that bad today?
I thought Keshi had an absolute shocker, but Paik didn't stand out apart from the one obvious mistake.

We played against one of the better teams in the league and lost narrowly. Calling players out like this is the behaviour of a dickhead

Reading comprehension ain’t one of your strong points is it?
If Paik is out for a while I think we will see Iwata back in midfield. Leonard and Doyle don’t have the legs to play as a pair
