Truth be told even if we lose him for the derby it won't be the greatest blow anyway. We played some majestic stuff that first half today and he was hardly involved. Needs to drop.a.few pounds cos those tree trunks strapped to.his hips look to be holding him back. He used to be a proper bouncy little lie wire - watch his debut vs Swansea. You give that player to pep and you get a consistent world class performer. He was bland today. Loses the ball too often runs up too many blind alleys. Don't get me wrong I'd rather he played the derby than not - he always scores against the cunts. But it wouldn't surprise me if we were to go there without him and perform better, although admittedly we will need a big performance from someone else to achieve that
I agree with this.
He is something of a sacred cow, as he's such a hero & one of the all time great strikers, therefore not many say a bad word or look for improvement, but even though he's so fucking good, he could actually be a lot better still than he is. And maybe will be under Pep.
