Laziest ever eleven

[JHB]

With some paper talk of Edouard coming back it got me thinking who would be in our laziest ever eleven.

So far we’ve got Edouard and Benteke up front. Brolin as a number ten and Ruddock at the back. Any more?

Eduoard isn't lazy he's just differently energetic.

Agree with Benteke. Watched him in isolation one game and he would do the bare minimum closing down the opposition. Just enough that he thought the fans wouldn’t notice. And we paid him £100k a week to watch him do that.A fraud who could easily have been arrested for loitering.

So many forwards. Adebayor. Sanogo. Were lazy and also s***. Bamford did try but was awful.

Probably a separate thread but what's preferable - a striker who can but won't or one who tries but can't?

Both have the same outcome don't they?

What!

They do but are fans more accepting of one over the other?

Fans more accept a Trier don't they? Until it becomes ridiculous. Then they turn quickly enough. If Johnson looked like he were busting a gut, we'd cut him much more slack. Like Pino, hasn't particularly delivered but clearly tries.

What!

Do we prefer Rooney when he's just signed a contract, or Alan Lee?

The one I had highest hopes for was Tommy Black
He had a proper purple patch where he was scoring every week
His colleague at the time, Julian Gray, was lazier if I remember rightly.

Rather one than tries at least.

* If they ain't up to the job, the blame lies with whoever put them up for it.

* If they just don't bother doing the job, that's fully on them. It's also disrespectful towards us.

Ruddock.

The only time he tried at all was to get suspended for Christmas.
