I think everyone is over thinking it. Hes simply getting older. Date of birth syndrome, thats all .
He and pep just need to re-invent his role and hopefully get 2 more seasons out of him.
I think that is only because his performances are regularly less effective than they were, and because he is so loved.He’s 31. Some of you carry on like he’s approaching 40.
It’s ridiculous to play him two or even three times a week. A bit like neglecting to service a sports car because we can’t afford time downtime in the workshop.He’s tired and struggling for fitness.
He’s running out of time on the ball and hitting passes off balance or without a half second to get his head up first.
It’s 100% a physical thing he just needs a break.
Well yes but hes probably peaked hasnt he. Do they say 29?He’s 31. Some of you carry on like he’s approaching 40.
You're barmyWell yes but hes probably peaked hasnt he. Do they say 29?
Im not saying hes finished, he just needs a new roll. Get 2 more years out of him then
Why? You think his legs will carry on forever ?You're barmy
He's bread for footballWhy? You think his legs will carry on forever ?
He doesn't knead the money. He's already made a good crust.He'll retire when you yeast expect it
