Not just you mate. I sometimes still find myself torn between the 90s / 00s era of support (just giving 110% for the badge is enough) and the modern expectations of both be world class AND give 110%.
Jesus is, unfortunately, the former of the two. Same for the Sterling of the last two years. Both still give their everything which usually would be enough and still earns my support for them, but ultimately they aren’t good enough for a club aiming to do the first ever quadruple.
Horrid, and shouldn’t be mistaken for entitlement, but true.
To be honest Alan, winning the quadruple isn't high up on my list.
I'm not sure of your age but from watching us from the early mid 70's to where we are now, I feel privileged to be around to witness what a brilliantly run club we have become..
I'm also not naive enough to think it's going to last for ever, unlike the rags but we're absolutely fortunate to be around during the period we are experiencing at the moment, I'm drifting off a bit here, what I'm trying to say is, players like Raheem and Gabby have contributed immensely in growing our club and moving us forward..
Haarland and Alvarez are going to be superstars for us, one definitely, the other, going off what I've seen of him, could be the next Sergio, no higher complement than that can be made, really.
Like I've said, I've got tonnes of time for both of them, especially Gabby who you just cannot help but warm to..
Best of luck to them both and if they eventually turn up at the Etihad in an Arsenal or Chelsea shirt, I'll still clap them both onto the pitch..!
