Not really because he hasnt really done much. Glimpses but thats about it.I think Paulinho is underrated on here. The man will be a revelation next season!
Talk is cheap . Standing firm in a player wall , that'd be a start from Paulinho .
You get that cliche comment about players putting their 'bodies on the line' for their team .
If you go the farthest possible distance from that concept , at the very end of the line , there's Paulinho . A man who actively avoids putting his body on the line for his club .
You mean like this lol.Well , I don't mean laying down in front of the 7.22 to Peterborough Sandro ...on the rail tracks if you follow . That would be taking his duties too zealously.
No , what I had in mind , was that 'never say die' determination to prevent an opposing football team from scoring a goal , to the extent of using the body as a form of shield and thereby selflessly diverting a football from entering the goal in spite of the very real danger of feeling a slight stinging sensation. eg Dawson
When I said 'at the very end of the line' , I had imagined a long line of footballers graded from left to right in terms of their fear of footballs . Paulinho holds the space at the farthest right where the least committed , most spineless of footballers stand , well , tremble .
I should also point out that its entirely acceptable that this player spends a season dodging footballs ,playing badly and avoiding effort while collecting a king's ransom . Y'see he is above all criticism at Tottenham Hotspur because....
...He plays for Brazil .
Hope this helps, GK
