Well that's the key part about it.
Who know's, plonk prime Ginola into this better side and maybe he struggles against low blocks? Maybe the manager won't play him because he doesn't track back enough?
But nobody who ever saw us play whilst he was here would ever say a bad word about him. Today though, on stats alone, half the twittersphere would be calling him crap because they'd made their minds up based on a bunch of stats, bar charts, and pictograms, before they'd even seen him kick a ball.
And then if they ever did get around to actually watching him, they still wouldn't change their mind because that's just not how the world works is it?
