Seems to be getting worse and worse. Halts our counters by giving the ball straight back to them. Frustrates me.

Yeah he does give the ball away but he is vital when it comes to breaking up attacks and winning headers and tackles.

The problem is playing him and KG together, neither can pass a ball which is why possession is so poor. What Jedinak lacks in areas he makes up for in other areas. KG is simply awful. Looks off the pace and doesn't offer anything going forward or defensively. The only positive if we do go down is that he will be back at his level! I would much rather start with Guedioura alongside Mile.

Back to the original point though, Jedinak is key and should be the first name on the teamsheet

Since we have started playing three defensive minded midfielders in jedi, kg and ledley we have looked s***. tired of watching the f***ing ball being humped up in the air in the hope of trying to find the 1 lone attacker...

He's lived off this 'great play breaker' rep too long. He does do that very well, but the rest of his game is bad and getting worse. He needs to start stepping up as skip and senior player.

Can't pass, silly fouls and you see how many of the goals we've conceeded come from midfield runners not tracked by him or KG. Oh, and for the love of God, please stop taking free kicks!

This all day long he wouldn't have to break up play so much if he didn't give it away.

Every team needs that break up player. The original "personification" of this is Makalele.

The break up player is only as good as who he gives the ball to. KG, at the risk of sounding racist, is a big white elephant. Doesn't seem to fulfill any role.

Also agree with everything said here.

Very harsh, I thought he had a decent game today all things considered. Won us a few dangerous free kicks, as broke up play as well as ever.

Strange to criticise him for commiting fouls, I think it's an important part of his job to do so, he stops the flow of a lot of moves before they become dangerous in doing this.

Jedi is no worse than he's ever been at short passing in my opinion. In this team though he is not exactly alone in this department. Defenders just hoof it up field and give it away, the wingers are being dispossessed far too easily, the centre forward fails continually to hold it up, though in fairness he is often on his own and the midfield have absolutely no composure on the ball. So if you drop Jedi, you have to drop them all.

No KG is now a liability and needs to be replaced. I think Pulis has two very serious problem areas. Up front and mid field. Honestly I could not make a suggestion that would solve these problems because we are totally threadbare of players when it comes to these positions.

I thought we looked far better with Guedioura. And jerome on. Added a bit of forward momentum - KG was dreadful and Ince looked lost

Which is incredible given the number of players in those positions that we've signed since last summer. Quantity over quality has proved to be the case.
