I don't normally do dissing my own players, but I'm making an exception here. Was good v Man U at home last year in midfiled, and I thought so he gets played at left back or winger cos he's got a left foot, could be a wing back but he's actually a midfielder who happens to be left-footed. Great goal at Fulham. But I've been to the last two home games and he's been woeful - he is the total passenger, never breaks out of a jog, a lazy useless article - filled a hole when Sam brought him in but value for money wise he's worse than Benteke, at least we got one good season out of him. Saw van Arnholt cut inside on Sat and Schlupp moved inside to the right side of the pitch instead of overlapping on the left- shocking.Rant over.

I agree it’s difficult to know what his position is.
It’s useful to have a versatile player who can fill in but I don’t see him as a starter when the rest of the squad are fit.
What has surprised me is that he seems to have either lost or has become reluctant to use his pace.
At Leicester he looked very pacy.
If you ally this to the fact that Townsend is no longer as quick because of injuries we don’t seem to have much pace in the attacking positions other than through Zaha.

The first time he played for us I was impressed with his place but the only time he shifts his arse these days is to get to the bank, by the looks of it. Has been s***e this season apart from that goal.

We were warned by quite a few Leicester fans both coming to HOL and on their own forum at the time that he wasn't very good and one of the main reasons given was that he didn't seem to have a football brain at all

We essentially paid £13 million for a left foot.

If Schlupp wasn't left-footed, he would be playing in League One.
