Nolito - 2016/17 performances

[Southern]

It's down to his comments about his refusal to learn English. I think it showed a horrendous attitude and Pep hasn't trusted him since.

As far as I know, Otamendi, Fernando, and Bravo don't speak English

I know, but they haven't actively come out and said they'll refuse to learn it. It's hardly the attitude you want is it?

How do you know that?

How do you know that?

Because since he made those comments he's started two games. It's the completely polar opposite to what Pep wants from his players.

His own doing. Can't trust such a hot head when your job is to play here and there.

But we'll happily rely on a guy who got sent off three times in seven matches?

I just think he's taken a back seat like Navas because Sane and Sterling have been crucial for us since January.

Where and when were these comments made may I ask? I keep hearing it get mentioned.

You can't possibly know that is the reason pep doesn't play him,it's equally a guess that it's because of his hot head or because sane is playing so well

Cheers man, much appreciated. In fairness to the guy he does say that he will learn the language at some point but I can understand why his comments might stand out.

The other thing is that these quotes were taken six days after our delightful media started publishing low blow articles about his mum and his relationship with her. Wouldn't be beyond the realms of possibility that he was feeling alone and possibly even victimised by our press at that time.

"That is why I chose not to study English - with Pablo Zabaleta, David Silva, Jesus Navas, Sergio Aguero and lots of Spanish-speaking technical staff.
