You do realize he was one of our best players last season, and the midfield deficiency was not his fault seeing as he is an attacking midfielder, and what was lacking was a defensive midfielder? I think it is very unrealistic of certain people to expect Harper to be a DMC, while at the same time none of you expect the same from Matejovsky, it is simply very unfair to expect such a player to do the same job as Roy Keane.
I also realise he is currently one of our worst perfoming players this season
That all depends on knowing what exactly he's been asked to do for the team doesnt it?
I can't remember him giving the ball away much at all this season. Admittedly he hasn't been spectaular or overly creative, but as ever I dont really think thats what the manager really wants from him
A good team needs its solid players who allow the others to do the more eye catching work. For me Harper does a good job in the middle of the park just dictating and allowing others to play
