    I think it's probably just tiredness.

    Mind this is his first real season here and he comes from Austrian/German/Dutch football where they only play about 35-45 games a season as clubs.

    He has never seen the schedule of like 35 games up to new year then 25 after that we play pretty much every season.

    Won't just be physically the schedule but mentally also, of on the move every few days and hardly any days off.

    He probably played in more games by the end of January this season than his previous clubs have in total over a season.

    It's hard to guess the mindset of players and but I can't believe it's just because they want away so downed tools. Surely you're more likely to be wanted by doing your best and not hiding during a game.
    But if had to guess, I'd say that the injury he had has impacted him somewhat. Maybe made him more weary of it, I don't know. But justifiably so, nobody wants to pick up injuries in short succession and lets face it, you're more likely to pick up injuries against them than anyone else.

    Heartless performances are hard to forgive. Unless there is an exceptional reason that comes out to explain it, I'd give him enough gametime to get the best price but would definitely sell in the summer if there's good interest.

    If he doesn't want to be here he should go.

    I was ardently backing him his poor start here, seen enough talent off him despite poor form. Was delighted when he proved what he can do this season.

    But lately, and yesterday just cemented it, he is absolutely making me hate him. He’s gutless. And that’s a choice he makes, and that’s something I hate more than anything else in a player. And I’ve came to that conclusion just comparing him when he done the opposite, against a team he had a personal grudge against, that had let him go saying not good enough- compare his attitude when we went 1-0 down against RBL, not even his goals, the attitude. To every other game when the going has got tough.

    He can do it. He chooses not to.

    And a player that is that talented, that good, and can win a game himself when he has the drive to stand up when we aren’t playing well but choose to hide. Unforgivable.

    It’s why a like a guy like Taylor, who tries so hard but doesn’t have the talent, but the player I dislike the most to play for us is Ntcham. Who could have been the best in the team, no contest, but couldn’t be bothered to

    To not even try is unforgivable. Looked to relinquish all responsibility on Sunday. Genuinely if he does not pick it back up again no club will look at him and he certainly won't get an international call up. He's a talented boy but that only takes you so far.

    Right back on it today, superb first half.

    Need to keep that energy and positivity going Nicolas, especially if you want that German call up and big money move!

    Long shot but if anyone knows the person in charge of playing the songs after a player scores, mention that Maeda gets his "Maeda" tune played, Jota gets his "Jota on the Wing" tune played, but Kuhn doesn't get his "Super Nicolas Kuhn" tune played, this one

    He’s off it, and it’s mental not physical. Lacks conviction with his end product, very much back to the sore tooth Kuhn type performances.

    He either had an incredible purple patch up until January, or his mind is completely elsewhere.

    The former is worrying, the latter is unacceptable, either way he's been abysmal for a while now.

    I've seen enough to know that he's not got the mentality for us. Infuriating given talented he is.

    Can't stand him..

    Even that one Wright got booked for from the goal kick was him having a ball 80/20 in his favour and getting breezed past. Same for the goal he should've had..

    An imposter that id drop for the rest of the season. This has been in the main, ages since he's really been at it....or more importantly, wanted it..

    So quickly everyone turns, £25M player of the year 2 months ago to utter * and get rid.

    Get a grip folks, he's a top drawer player who's just off form - it happens.

    He's mentally got one foot out the door already. He'll be gone in the summer.

    Top drawer?! He's a lazy *. Majority of games he never runs, just * about to cut in and sky it. Had enough of him, will be delighted if leave in the summer.

    Honestly, he looks more like a totally average player who has had a golden period in between two poor periods. I'd sell him if someone wants him
