Marko Arnautovic

[BrownFatwa]

he's been fined 15 mins wages (£5k), made to do an extra one hours training every day thus taking him through to midday and also run Ginge's bets to Corals on the Heathway.
that'll teach him for sure.

[Hammer1972]

Bilic is still fuming. :lol:

I bet that's about as scary as being attacked by a neutered care bear on ecstasy.

Is that based upon anything at all, or just guessing?

[warp]

Bilic is still fuming. :lol:

doing a Carlton?

[lewis100985]

I might have missed this... but did Arnie receive a 3 match ban or was it increased to 4?

[Al Fisti]

He plays very well against Wales so far - is on fire today

Does anybody watch that game?

[61dicksey]

Arnie is having a good game and should have easily scored , played some very good balls into the box from acute angles. Him and Alibar are running the game.

[MorthwylMawr]

Played well and should have scored....thankfully he didn't

[poplargeezer]

Played well in first half v Wales, more anonymous in 2nd half.
Created space and chances well for himself but should have scored.

Revealed himself to be what I call a '3/4weight': flatters to deceive = about our level but not worldbeater

[Ariksan]

I still think he was reacting to being elbowed himself. Trouble is teams will now try to wind him up and hope for a similar reaction.

In my book a reaction to being elbowed is the reaction imminently after being elbowed. That I could understand - it would be in the heat of the moment. But running half a cross the pitch to return the favour - that is just premeditated stupidity and not a reaction. He should be professional enough to understand this. But obviously not.

Special mention to this **** today. Should’ve been 2-0 up in the first half if he didn’t fanny around with it. Already getting sick of him.

Like I said in the match thread, he plays for himself and tries to show off instead helping the team, which made him look like Maradona in the first half v. Bolton who are bottom in the Championship.

He got into some good positions. Certainly he took too long a couple of times, but he's a **** for that? He was another victim of Carroll coming on and our attack speed matching that of a slug...

It was no surprise that his main contributions were in the first 30 minutes.

[MB]

Agreed. As i put in the match thread his movement was good and he got in some great positions but then wanted too long on the ball. Hopefully it is just bedding in issues.

[Claret & Blue World]

Id like to see some stats on him, namely how many balls he turns over and fouls he commits.

Sure he pops up with the very occasional goal but christ between them he is a very, very frustrating player to watch.

[Boleynkid]

When we are on top he will be fine and I'm sure will give us some moments to savour but he's not one for the trenches which is a problem when you play for a team that is struggling. Wasn't surprised to see him substituted today. Doesn't look like a 90 minute player to me.

[Jon]

Head down type of player. Will beat 2 or 3 and score or assist every 6 games or so.

All Hernandez wants is wide players who see his movement and play it in.

[DrVenk]

Sure he pops up with the very occasional goal but christ between them he is a very, very frustrating player to watch.

There were a few occasions where the play broke down on his side in the final third, a Spurs defender brings the ball out, and he was just pointing to someone way behind him to close the player down.

Run back and close him down yourself, ffs!!!

[trevshead10may1980]

So far, apart the Bolton game against very weak opposition, he has been utter pony and a total waste of money. Keep him on the bench.

[LincolnshireHammer]

I thought he played OK today and one of our better forward players.

Carroll was average and Chicarito was pony despite his goal. MOTM you're having a laugh.

Keep going Annie, it's still early days. I'm behind you fella.

[westham,eggyandchips]

Not warming to him at all. His whole demeanor is of arrogance without the ability to back it up.

Must do better.
