That’s because I’m not sure there’s ever been as player as good and frustratingly shit in polar opposite equal measures as Raheem. Nothing he does is average or goes under the radar. It’s either glaringly brilliant or glaringly shit in a stand-out fashion.
I’ve said previously that I’m not sure whether he’s the worst elite player or the best shit player I’ve ever seen.
I’m divided with how I feel about him. Even within any given five minutes from any game, you can be slamming your seat down in anger one minute and then screaming with joy about how you love him the next.
He must be the player with the most amount of games where he’s been absolutely awful yet finished the game with a goal and two assists or two goals and assist.
But that’s what we’re going to miss and probably struggle to replace. Not the 88 minutes of woeful play, the 2 minutes where he’s won the game.
