I try to be positive, especially with a 2-0 with at the weekend, but how on earth is this guy getting played so much.

He must have something over Roy......I have never seen a player with such little football intelligence. Gives the ball away so much with terrible passes, daydreams and gets caught of position so badly. He shows if you have a left foot, pace and keep yourself fit you can make it to the premiership somehow with little football technique

but i do love him still........hes an eagle.

Maybe the commentary is too harsh, but in the essence it's absolutely true!
I know they're two different players but leaving in the bench Max Meyer to play with Schlupp I sincerely don't get it...

What a ridiculous post

Why don't you back up your comment with your personal thoughts on the subject.This is my opinion to which I am entitled.

Schlupp scores the winner against Fulham, and as been said 4th of the season, and is still open to scathing criticism. Zaha gets sent off for petulance and people are praising him to the hilt. I'd rather have a player who's prepared to give his all than the spoilt brat

After his goals at man city and vs Fulham I am warming up to Schlupp a little bit.

Roy likes the cut if his jib big time, but he is a Roy type player.

Schlupp’s issue is consistency. He doesn’t just go from league one to premier league level, he goes down to Sunday league sometimes.

He is often responsible for a move breaking down, though he and PVA are really at odds to win that competition. He has pace to burn but seems to rarely use it, and cannot seem to go past a player.

Defensively he is often suspect, like the first goal at man city, however again a certain PVA is right up there with him on that one.

Fact is Schlupp has popped up with some goals and the manager likes him. However one has to wonder now if he will be the first sub to come on when not starting, if we are chasing a game, as now we have more options.

Trump lost. Badly. Hahahahahahaha.

I am pretty sure that Roy has something over you! That is football knowledge.

Schlupp may not be the best defender in the world, or the greatest creative midfielder. He does though have a way of getting himself into positions that affect us positively, has a hard, controlled shot and good energy.

He gets some quite ridiculous criticism here when he plays a very important role in some games. To compare him with Meyer is nonsense. They are completely different, suited to and employed for very different circumstances.

For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

The Meyer debate has been done to death. For me he is too lightweight and is brushed off the ball too easily, he has no pace, he lacks passing range (ok on the short stuff but I haven’t seen him ping a crossfield ball yet), and I thought he would have a real eye for goal – which hasn’t been evident yet. First and foremost these days you need to be an athlete in the Prem with physical attributes to match. Schlupp has pace, he has an eye for a goal, he is strong in the tackle. So there may be some of the reasons why he is ahead of Meyer in the pecking order.

I have never been convinced by Meyer and totally understand why Hodgson has picked Schlupp over him.

That's not a bad quality to have !

Schlupp has scored the same amounts of goals as Zaha this season and they have been important ones - the all-important opening goal at Fulham on the opening day,the equalsier at Man C not long after they scored the opener and of course the second goal on Saturday which extinguished any hopes of Fulham getting anything from the game.

Not advocating that Schlupp is right up there as a player but I can understand why he gets the nod over Meyer at the present time.Maybe in time Meyer will really be knocking on the door and will have the edge over Schlupp.Football is all about opinions and clearly there are polarised views on this matter.
