Commons needs dropped!

He looks the same as last year. The only difference is he plays pish atm. So that's why people starting this threads. Just look at videos of last year. Does he look 100% slim in there? It's just his structure.

 

Seriously though - Kris was played out of position on the right - and Joe Ledley was pushed wide left - both of them to accommodate Scott * Brown in the centre - who is * in the centre.

Indeed who is mediocre full stop.

Time to Punt Captain Clown.

 

Agreed, it's unreal how much Brown lives off one celebration when, in fact, he has been an utterly pish footballer for us for 4 years now. He is thick as mince.

 

im refusing to judge him while he is out on the right, thats not his position and i cannot understand why he is being played out there

 

calm down a bit there!

Commons just needs to get a goal to get the confidence flowing, playing him on the right doesnt help. St Johnsone this weekend he'll break his duck. BELIEVE

 

Hes been poor so far this year, and he does look like hes carrying some extra pounds, he says he hit the gym over the summer to bulk up, well it isnt doing him any good. I have no idea why Lennon is playing him wide right, but he does have the ability to do something out of nothing, just hope he gets last years form back, and soon!

 

Exactly, spot on mate

 

Still a great player a lot of that is muscle as you see when he drives by players,will still come good a feel much better playing attacking left imo !

 

That toe injury that he has is clearly affecting his performance, 4 games and subbed 4 times is not Kris Commons.

 

Is Commons overweight? YES
Is Commons playing well? NO
Should Commons start the next match? NO

He was fantastic last season but on current form he should be warming the bench!!!

 

Totally agree m8 he hasn't kicked his * yet... Give Forrest/McCourt a chance against St Johnstone on sunday!!

 

commons is a great player. but hes definitely holdin to much weight throught muscle gain or fat gain i dont no . before bulkin up on muscle he should have tryed to take the excess weight off him first..thats why he looks so big and turns like a boat.. to heavy

 

i agree he looks unfit. but i think his attitude has been shocking on the park this season so far as well, he's looked lazy and not really bothered. i think he needs time on the bench, until he gets his finger out.

 

no i dont think hes fat, i think hes going through a poor spell of form, i do think that it will be very difficult for him to have the same goal scoring return as last season and i think hes had a couple of niggling injuries at the start of the season and i would drop him for a couple of weeks and play forrest until hes match fit

 

This sounds very similar to what the Derby fan told us when we first signed him.

 

The concept only works if the player has the technical ability to cut inside & outside with both feet.
I'm guessing Lenny wished commons could be used in the role, looking at performances that's not the case, it's as if he's uncomfortable out there, which I understand having played out of posistion myself a few times & been frustrated.

I rate commons very highly & I'm sure he'll be desperate to impress the gaffer. The overweight observation may just be fans way of saying "what the *?" as his form has dipped, but he's never been of slender build.

I'm sure he'll still be a very important player over the course of this season wherever he plays.(preferably on the left)

 

From what I seen of Commons before he joined us, he was always the shape he is now so I don't think that's his problem at the moment, just off form.

 

i read a couple of weeks ago that Commons had been bulking himself up in the gym, for more upper body strength etc.

think he may have shot himself in the foot by doing so because its definetly slowed him down. he hasnt been on form in any match ive seen this season imo.

i'd give paddy a run out on sunday. i think he deserves a chance

 

Don't think its just you mate, plenty of other fat people out there.

 

Why Paddy over any of the other players who sit on the bench?
