I said it was a sentimentality signing when he re-signed…..he new Barca wasn’t working, maybe a coaching role at city?It’s quite sad to watch currently. That aimless pass to their player on the edge of our box just summed it up. It’s looking like a mistake this.
He was always supposed to come off the bench and score a goal or two, but he does not have the legs to start for us.He's never been blessed with pace, but an absolute brilliant football brain.
His form has dropped off a cliff, looks like he's running through treacle, I wanted to remember him being the captain of our treble winning team, not this version.
To be fair that was no worse than Joško throwing the ball directly to Richarlison on the edge of the boxIt’s quite sad to watch currently. That aimless pass to their player on the edge of our box just summed it up. It’s looking like a mistake this.
Stop talking sense. We don’t like informed posts like this on here.He's 34 he was supposed to be a much needed extra man in a redcued but important role not a 50 game season role he's found himself in. He's not had a good start but we'd be even worse off without him. He had no pre-season either. We have to treat it as if he hasn't played football for 12 months, the intensity of LA liga isn't comparable, it's in many ways worse than being injured as his body and brain have become accustomed to a slower game. I trust he'll get upto speed and be a valuable player for us we just need to allow him time and accept we wont be getting the same player back that left us.
