Stranded Top Flight Some comments on here have suggested that just because fans are critisizing Seol's performance at Old Trafford that it means that they hate him and are singling him out....
Nobody hates Seol........... Everybody wants Seol playing well and working hard for the team week in and week out.
Fans are well within their rights to critisize a player either in an online forum or by booing at a match if they don't see any effort from the player. It doesn't mean the player is disliked. It means the fans are not happy with his performances and want to see better from him.
I personally think Seol will get better. He only started playing and training hard with the team towards the end of the Peace Cup..... He has been injured before that and it takes time to find fitness and form.
Its a little early to judge and be overly critical of Seol. He defintely looks out of sorts at the moment. He is definitely not trying hard enough and his touches and passing are incredibly poor and that is supposed to be his strength. He had a few crossing opportunities at Old Trafford as well and he over hit at least 50% of those which is also quite poor.
I'm sure in the next few weeks he will find his sharpness and his form. If he can regain more fitness following his injuries then he might be able to try harder as well. Only the management knows whether Seols game is half hearted at the moment because he simply doesn't have the fitness or if he can't be ars*d.
I don't know how fit he actually is, but I do know that he returning from injury and all players take time to regain match fitness and playing sharpness after a long injury, so its best to trust Coppell. Oster would have been the best choice at Old Trafford and he will certainly be best choice for Wednesday night!
Not completely true, Seol gets treatment that the odd Reading player has gotten throughout the years. Fans are almost waiting for the first mistake to get on his back. Oster often gets the same treatment.
Whereas apparent favourites can make the exact same mistake and it's not even noted by the majority.
Of course......
Its to do with consistency.....
Someone like Shorey works very hard every game..... he rarely makes mistakes but when he does, it can be forgiven because its a rarity.
Someone like Seol is consistently not trying hard most games..... There is only so much lack of effort people can tolerate.
Hughes consistently delivered poor passes and made bad crosses. People get fed up!
If Hunt had one game where he didn't try, he would be forgiven because 99% of the time he works his ars* into the ground for the team.
Favourites are favourites because they are consistently good.
Seol is getting on everyone's tits because he is rarely good. He consistently doesn't try. This annoys people.........
Every fan has a different level of tolerance. Seol has already overstepped the mark with alot of fans.
Some fans tolerance have been severly tested and some other fans have a longer fuse and can tolerate a few more indifferent performances by Seol before they get annoyed.
But the most successful people have a low tolerance of abject performance and lack of desire........ Successful people don't take fools gladly!
Fergie won't tolerate a poor performance for 5 minutes......... The player would be out.
Keane would get shot of poor performers rapidly. Thats why these people are successful.
You can be pretty sure that Coppell isn't happy with Seol either. If he had other options Seol would have been long gone by now!
