Ekotto has generally been on an upward curb of improving performances, throughout the season. I don't consider his last two games as considerably superior. Even during the period you were most critical, he was still contributing significantly, in other areas - notably, interceptions which stem...
It's the frequency, Fervency. :-) Take Ginol@14's approach to Jenas (who is tenfold more insulting than your BAE stance).
In general, I'd say neg repping (which is private and therefore doesn't spread any mentality) does less for a negative vibe than public bashing of players, latching onto and...
Pipe down, you numpty! :-)
What I'm saying is, I don't appreciate judging players (more-so, our own) with an underlying disparaging tone.
If there is a general lack of analysis, in favour of (recurrent) degrading remarks, then this (frequency) can often lend itself to something approaching a...
But it's not an extreme conflicting stance, which could be, "he is absolutely out of this world".
Fundamentally, I'll defend our own players against undue critique, especially where there is an underlying disparaging tone (more often built from stand-out moments (good or bad) manifesting...
Not when the one with potential has shown little, at the time, to indicate he would not be any improvement.
If you harbor certain (pre)conceptions ("consistently making mistakes") then it's likely that this can possibly mar a fair assessment. If he was as bad as you imply, no manager would let...
Brandishing the phrase, "... but it's my opinion," does not warrant a statement.
It is when criticism is singled out, searching for misdemeanors exclusive to a player in an attempt to back-up previous.
Brandishing BAE's marking/positioning as 'complete shite' is disparaging. Once you've...
"Michael Jackson was always more suited to La Liga than the Prem IMO."
Unlike yourself, I'm not using 'opinion' as a get-out for backing up relatively insubstantial claims.
I can't entirely recall what I neg repped you for but suspect it likely to be related to either preconceptions dictating...
I'm aware that it's not a divine right to make disparaging remarks about the very people who require our support.
Opinion is open to question so I question it.
In the words of G.Ramsay: "Are you that fucking arrogant?!"
Great to hear the Defoe song, again, tonight. :clap:
Especially considering it was, once again, more prominent than any song for our own (was there any?) plus his replacement scored a hat-trick.
Keep up the tremendous support, lads!
:dance:
I appreciate that we shouldn't be bashing our own players nor summarising their efforts into a single noun. However, whilst he has staunch supporters who fail to see what, I believe, is staring them in the face, there is going to be replies to the opposite extreme.
The only defense people...
You are absolutely right with your approach to positively supporting our players.
It's not just support from the fan he needs, it's support from the players around him. However, we cannot have a passenger occupying such an imperative position. Obviously, he is now considered back-up but...
He hasn't played all that well since coming back from injury. Right now, I prefer BAE. Bale has potential, Dawson does not.
That stat is a convenience to get across my point. It may be interesting to see the equivalent from last season. Besides, it's more his performances which should be...
And you're going on his first season, where he was punching above his weight. He also had the fortunate addition of superior defense minded players surrounding him, mopping up his mistakes.
Dawson is a Championship defender who is occasionally capable of playing to a mediocre level. He can...
You're right, it is unfair. He is a somewhat capable back-up defender, on occasions. Notably, when he came on this season, against Krakow.
In no way is he 'superb'.
Don't get your knickers in a twist 'cause you know you're wrong.
