about Ritzmaier. When he said that people say he does a job and that Norman Hunter once said that you have to do much more than a job. For me he's not done that at all and I'm surprised he's still starting games. Not sure he will on Tuesday after being subbed at HT today and I don't think he can have any complaints if that's the case......
As far as I’m concerned Ritzmaier just didn’t want the ball today and what’s more after 15 or 20mins the others were actively avoiding giving it to him!
I would agree with you if any of our players first half were capable of finding a Barnsley shirt. They seemed to be actively avoiding everyone other than the Stoke players!
Not a game to single out anyone. But he's crap in every game. Completely understand Parker's point, and it's a good one, but I would argue Ritzmaier doesn't do a job. I've seen nothing from him.
I havent seen anything from him since he signed and the 3 games since lockdown he has been really poor - hardly any of his passes go to a red shirt, he cant beat a man and he doesn't seem great at tackling, and he isnt very fast. Today you could say that about most of the starting 11 but even the games we played well its been the same from Ritzmaier
And after a couple of iffy games he got up to speed where as Ritzmaier looks constantly out of his depth.
2/3 that we got from Austria don’t look cut out for English football don’t have the physicality for it.
