So a £17 million striker failing to score a single outfield goal in any format (32 games) for us does not represent abject failure and warrant a place with the likes of Balaban, Alves, Soldaldo etc as one of the worst high profile striking failures in the league then seriously what does? There was absolutely no issue taken with such comments directed at the likes of Rasiak ( or the likes of Paulinho or Gilberto in other areas) so why are other certain players such as him off bounds?
And I have been entirely consistent on this absolutely I would be saying he same whatever the shirt he is wearing. What I cannot understand is the level of ire making such comments illicit or why we should wait to have our opinions of a player validated by the club first before passing comments.
Do you really think if he started performing and scoring that such comments would continue? When the facts change so will opinions but he simply isn't doing anything to change that. If anything judging by their comments even the management are giving up on him which makes such continued commitment to him by some all the more surprising .
Excellent post. I think there are easy targets to criticize like Sissoko but with younger players it's easy to just say he needs time, etc. A simple post like "he'll come good" can get a 100 positive ratings while the lengthy post articulating why he won't necessarily will be down rated. It's a bit like the episode "nosedive" from Black Mirror here sometimes.
