Anton Ferdinand

[qpr4life]

Personally responsible for numerous goals this season: among them two at WBA, one against Soton, two at Man U, one against Reading, one against MKD... But let's agree to disagree. I note, mind, that the Turkish club have dropped Anton to the bench.... It didn't take them too long to work out his, er, concentration problems. That's bad news, however, because it means the t0sspot might be on his way back.

I thought I could agree with you because you had good facts....

Then you said this, and you bring yourself down to a pointless personal level.

Ah well, enjoy slagging people off

haha Clutching at straws.

Basically you dont rate him and like most on here, you find it easy to moan at him (To remind you he is currently out on loan, so he cant be blamed no more)

He didn't make persistent mistakes, im sorry collectively at the time our defence was awful. End off...

Until HR came in we was shipping goals all over the place, we generally couldn't defend set pieces....

To add, I dont think AF is a brilliant defender and he isnt anywhere near our first eleven.

Samba and Hill are way in front.

However, I dont believe he is a bad defender.

He is the epitome of a confidence player.

He can be a pretty good defender when he's confident and form and is concentrating, but one mistake and his head goes and his confidence is shot to pieces.

Not being named captain on the first day of the season followed by the Swansea raping probably ruined his confidence for the entire season.

All players need confidence....

ALL PEOPLE NEED CONFIDENCE.

The more confidence you have the better you do with most things in life....

This is more of a reason to NOT BOO players... They dont like it even if they pretend they are strong enough to ignore it.

I thought that. So what little money we might have got if we sold him we would now never get with a broken leg? yeah nice one!

The forum becomes silly and I joke

[SpankwiR]

Wow

I'm hoping for a leg break

Wow

Hmmmm. But consistent, persistent mistakes makes for a very. very bad defender. A state of the art ship might sink; but a rusty bucket, holed under the waterline, will sink. How many goals did Anton cost us this season? Count em up..... I did so on an ancient thread.

The very best defenders make mistakes and stop concentrating... therefore are they bad defenders.

Here is a perfect example...

Defenders have to concentrate; those that can't concentrate can't defend; those that can't defend are..... bad players....

I think saying he doesn't concentrate is deffo a good opinion and take on it.

I think it makes more sense because he really isnt as bad as people make out..

[MattyRangers]

Anton's problem is not with his physical ability to defend its with his brain. He cannot concentrate

Exactly this. He is like a kid with ADHD. Seems to be playing well then spots a kid in the crowd playing Pokemon on his GameBoy Colour and totally forgets about the game and seems to wonder over to help.

[mork]

Bit harsh, I agree 100% about the brain thing. Could be cracking player if concentrated like he did against scum in every game. Also, he tries hard all games etc. on twitter he has been winding up Chelsea fans as well, which I like.

[Rangers77]

OP written at half time of the MKD game. Right after that outrageous and appalling Anton howler that cost us the second goal and certainly the game. Harry rightly had him on a plane to Turkey the very next morning; I'd have had him on his way to LHR in his kit at half time.... He's a very poor player to say the very least. Thank God he's gone. Lets pray he doesn't come back.
