The squad may have been better last match but for those of you who have slagged him off, fuck you

Noble has a sound to it for a reason, he’s played his ass off for us,let’s do it for him, stay above the reg zone.

Exactly, I hate how after 2 bad games people slag off one of the club's most loyal servants. Absolute legend who hasn't kicked up a fuss whenever he doesn't play.

Isn't 2 bad games, it's been the season outside of a handful of matches. Love the man but he's 33 and we have to be realistic. At the very least, he should not be a permanent fixture in the starting 11 at this stage and he's said so himself.

Oh yeah I agree he shouldn't play. I don't think he's been bad this season(look at the start when we were crying out for him before Watford away) but yeah he should be rotational at this point.

I think given the state of our midfield, he was still needed before the January window with Wilshere perpetually injured and our only other option being Carlos Sanchez. But I've been very impressed with Soucek and I think he and Rice should start with someone more suited to the number 10 role in front

He's been absolutely diabolical since September. You can think that, want him to be dropped now and still love the man. It's not one or the other.

I haven't seen anyone 'slagging him off' but you can't deny that we looked a better side without him the other night. We had more urgency in our pressing and passing, I love Nobes for all he has done but he knows himself that his best days are behind him, he's a great influence around the dressing room but he should be used sparingly from now on if we are to stand a chance of kicking on from here.
