Went to the match last night (CL scheme) and watched all the highlights tonight. Right - you have Sergio - most prolific goalscorer in Prem history in terms of minutes on the pitch - been doing it for six years. He also has a monumental scoring record in all Europe competitions. So why is he mentioned by the pundits on BT and and ITV etc as somehow inferior to Kane (top striker but yet to deliver consistently for England), and Lukaku ? Ok, Costa's pretty unpopular, but I remember him saying last season that Sergio's the top Prem striker. Same with David - head and shoulders the best player in the Prem. Kevin's chance creation is awesome, but David's been doing it for six years. Btw, watching the replay of David setting up Kevin for that missile launch of a shot was amazing.
Why do you worry what pundits say? The players are very well paid by the people who appreciate what they do in the field and when that is good enough as a team, they will earn the trophies that come from that.
It is ridiculous that a player like David Silva is routinely dismissed by pundits, but then they actually sit and watch a game and he is suddenly a great player....and this of a player who has won nearly EVERYTHING!
Aguero: Scores for fun every year, yet can't get into a Premier League XI!
This is the life of Manchester City players and the media. Everyone in the media believes City have simply bought whatever success they have and the players get dinged by that. Guess what, I doubt ANY of them care nearly as much as you do. I sometimes think fans don't understand the motivation and mindset of professional athletes. They don't like the pissants any more than you do, but they definitely care less about them.
Get up, eat with the wife and kids, get the kids off to school, go to training, do some hard work and have some fun, eat, go home and relax or to the club event of the day, play with the kids, have dinner, put the kids to bed, enjoy some time with the wag, get a good nights sleep. Lather, rinse, repeat!
