He was though. A couple of seasons ago I thought he was close to a world class standard. Took players on with ease, his finishing was good and he was just a handful for defences. That player we saw then is a thing of the past. I can’t really understand why he’s declined so much, it has to be mentality related.I remember back in the days when most ppl thought he is better than Sane
He doesn’t deserve to be anywhere near this team at the momentPep is hanging him out to dry by playing him as a 9.
He moved him to the right and he looked much better. Then he got moved back inside.
It's infuriating.
I agree, he's never had the best first touch and his previous qualities are missing. Against Leicester when he came on I think we would seriously have been better with 10 men than playing with him as he continually gave the ball away. Is it a coincidence the only 2 games we have failed to win this season are the ones he has started in? I don't dig him out at the match and he'll always get my support on the pitch but he looks disinterested and I'd let him go for a nominal price, Italy may suit him or PSG exchange for Mbappe :-)He doesn’t deserve to be anywhere near this team at the moment
He has been awful for a long time
His decision making at critical times and finishing is not there
As such he needs to take a chance, pep will now just play people who are in form instead
To be honest I think he is done here
He's giving him a chance to play the same role as he does for England, blaming Pep is fucking ridiculous.Pep is hanging him out to dry by playing him as a 9.

After Raheem suffered years of abuse from the media and supporters of other clubs, it saddens me that we are heading in the same direction. He wasn’t the problem yesterday!I love your kindness but I fear this has been going on for too long to be considered a confidence blip. I think we've reached the point where it would be best for all parts if we parted ways. Raz seems like a very nice guy and I wish him all the best.
You’re making the mistake of thinking they are the same thing. The media abuse was based around non-football related issues. The current situation is very much related to his on-field problems. You cannot expect his shocking performances to pass without comment. It’s not just the fans BTW, Pep has spoken loud and clear by dropping him like a stone from his previous untouchable position in the side.After Raheem suffered years of abuse from the media and supporters of other clubs, it saddens me that we are heading in the same direction.

Apart from playing in the same areas.There is nothing remotely similar about him and Grealish.
He isn't a central striker. Pep switched it around at ht. He is either going to have to develop his game or move. I think he will move.After Raheem suffered years of abuse from the media and supporters of other clubs, it saddens me that we are heading in the same direction. He wasn’t the problem yesterday!
