I think we all agree that we would be a better side if Myers was forced out by someone better. But in the absence of that someone better he is an integral part of the team.
I’m so sick of hearing this opinion on “good blokes” “leaders” blah blah blah. Imagine the state of the club after the saga if we had 22 Carlisle’s or Ryder’s. Personally I like that the recruiter look for these traits.
He’s never going to be Darren Jarman, but he’s got to a point where he’s good enough with ball in hand that you still need to mind him, or he’ll hurt you.
He always cracks in, and always gets his clearances and tackles and his his 18 or 20 touches.
But he’s also now bobbing up with important goals, goal assists, and even bounces. Just enough of a worry that you need from your second tier mids. That depth in midfield is building beautifully.
Really he was incredible tonight. He was releasing hand balls from congestion like never before and was huge in containing the influence of Kennedy and Parker around the contest. He’s actually making himself hugely important to our prospects for the rest of the year right now.
