The bit in red highlights my point perfectly. "Not saying too much". The bar is set far far lower for this guy than any other player. Apart from the assist for the Jesus goal he did nothing that stood out except get a stupid booking, but I guarantee the agenda on twatter tonight will be "he was brilliant". Even that cross for the assist wasn't anything special. It was good, but you'd expect the most average Premier League player to pull that off in all honesty.Redarmy wrote: ↑Sun Sep 18, 2022 2:35 pmThe enigma which is Thomas Partey had a great game bossing that midfield, really was him at his best
As for Martinelli what can you say...constant threat all game...work rate is incredible...Jesus quality
Saliba a collossus at the back...he looks like the best defender since TA...with the potential to be better
Ramsdale did what he had to do...good display....Viera has real quality, great strike for his goal....but in the premiership you have to be tough to stay on the ball
hopefully will build up his strength levels
Yes sorry DB i hate xhaka as much as you and think we would improve if he was replaced...but probaly his best game...agreed not saying too much
overall very pleased played some terrific passing football and scoring quality goals
He is garbage and mostly a complete liability, but if he does not give away a penno, or get sent off, or directly cause a goal, (or all three) then he's deemed to have "played well".
Not for me. He was average today. Nothing more.
But give him time, there will be the usual stupidity and shit performances in abundance to come this season.
Not a rant aimed at you mate, but rather just in general.
