Okay, I'm done. This thread is just fucking weird.

Nolito DID offer more.

And getting weirder. Think the shark has been shot now.

 

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

I think whats really weird is the insane and ludicrous attempt to reinvent or rather redefine that which really matters in football.

In front of our very own eyes, some here are trying to reinvent the game by discrediting valuable contributions and creating new statistics in football just so they can accommodate a player that has performed below average.

A few days ago a poster here actually told me that assists do NOT matter for a modern midfielder. Seriously!

That's what's really weird.

Come to think of it, If we really want someone to protect the ball and win free kicks, why don't we go for that Akinfenwa guy? You know, the one with Wycombe. He's built like a water buffalo and can protect the ball from 5 players at once.

I mean really, who needs goals and assists when you can protect the ball and win free kicks, right?

Did you actually forget the 4 possible assists KDB could have had in the last game but are ignoring them for the 1 thing that did actually work?

If all our stuff worked where we had them beat, we could have won 0-5.

If nothing worked, we could have lost 4-0. Tielemens, Barnes, Iheanacho and that own goal.

Grealish is a lot better than Sterling on the left. You actually keep possession of the ball for one and it creates spaces for others.. maybe not directly but indirectly.

This thread is utterly bizarre: top of the league; qualified top of the CL group with a game to spare, yet some are singling out a player for criticism, despite the fact that the only games we have dropped points in are games when he has not played. This is a team game, and he is an important part of the team.
What is it about our fan base that some always need a player to be negative about?

Absolutely fucking correct. As in life this place has many who obsess over things they don’t understand.

If either the rags or dippers had bought him , the very same posters who are singing his praises would be laughing at how little impact he has had.
Hes been a huge disappointment.
That's the reality.
We were just as successful before we bought him, in fact if you were being super critical he should and could have put us out of sight in the second leg against real Madrid before the shambles that followed.

We were successful, yes, but we sold Sterling, Jesus and Zin. The fact that we are still there says a lot of positive things about the players who we have and the management team too.

Sancho is trash, Bellingham is a headless chicken that doesn't have what Pep wants but Grealish is a football genius, has that "thing" that Pep wants and is a future Balon d'or winner.

What he brings to the table is so good that you can't see it but you just have to believe and have faith that he is bringing something to the table, don't bother trying to see what he contributes and don't even try to ask what his contribution is, as doing that is a sacrilegious act, just KNOW that he's contributing something and be fine with that.
