Or maybe he is, as the article says, burned out?
The only thing that's 'burned out' is his enthusiasm.

If he was ever that good another top club would have gone and signed him...not us!
Bale was crap with us for a while too... couldn't win a game with us. Something has happened to Paulinho and I appreciate what the club are doing if they really are resting him from physical/mental exhaustion but it has nothing to do with that thrashing - he had lost his form way before then and I think they only let in one more goal when he was on the pitch.

Fine, I have nothing against him and I hope he does come good.Little Paul is still having nightmares about Thomas Muller. But Spurs are here to help.

For the love of God can everyone STOP using Bale as an example for players coming good.Bale was crap with us for a while too... couldn't win a game with us. Something has happened to Paulinho and I appreciate what the club are doing if they really are resting him from physical/mental exhaustion but it has nothing to do with that thrashing - he had lost his form way before then and I think they only let in one more goal when he was on the pitch.
Why are people so against Paulinho?
He scored quite a few goals for us last season, and I don't really see any of the current lot doing any better?
I would actually like to see more of him in the League. He is certainly no worse than Capoue or Stambouli, is he?
Emotionally scarred?? Fuck off you Brazilian ****. Why do we only sign shit Brazilians?? (Sandro aside).
That could be a part-definition of burned-out.The only thing that's 'burned out' is his enthusiasm.
On Thursday.....Did he look a little heavy to anyone else?Paulinho has just been dreadful this season when he has played, regardless of the standard of the opposition There simply has to be something wrong with him, I have never ever seen a more lethargic player with seemingly no effort or energy. There is no way he is actually that bad. I'm not saying he is a great player, but there is clearly something wrong with him. His slide has been immense, from being one of the best players in the confed tournament to not being able to even get a touch on the ball or get about the pitch against some ordinary opposition.
People say 'give him a go' but we simply cant afford to have him on the pitch, he offers absolutely nothing, it is like playing with 10 men. I think he needs to be given a couple months off. Tell him to come back in January ready for the 2nd half of the season and we might see him improve. He has played a LOT of football in the past year and a half. He hasn't had an off season so to speak in 2 years.
