There are certainly red flags when three different managers don't seem to fancy him despite him being pretty much our only creative option.

It’s a depressingly consistent feature of our recruitment policy ; even our big signings are ones that other teams have ( for specific reasons) passed over .

In porcelain terms; they’re from a quality producer but have slight but significant flaws that means they can only be sold ( for less and with a small black cross on the bottom ) from the factory shop and they often end up on E-bay .
 
I hate to be so cynical and it's easy to say this in retrospect but if he hadn't done all the running around celebrating then his legs probably wouldn't have been so fucked in the last 10 minutes and he would've been able to help out. We were effectively playing with 10 men at the end of the game.

Just an observation, obviously wouldn't want to take that moment away from him but it's a fact.

Must start the remaining matches though he had a very good match, also needs to work on strengthening those twig legs.

That performance just sums up the tragedy of this club. Did so much right, an assist and brilliant goal, yet still cost us the match twice, missing sitter for 2-0 when he hit the post and getting I. The way right at the end.
 
Simple fact of the matter is he's had championship players around him all season. Looks up to play and he's just got shit cunts all around him in the forward positions.
 
Needs to start from now on
The fact that every fan understands this squad's lack of footballing quality and that Xavi (even with his drawbacks) is a must, but the managers this year being completely blind to it is so infuriating.

I don't think he's a world beater by any means, but he can actually create, which is beyond the ability of the vast majority of our squad.
 
Damn looks like he'll develop into a top player for whichever team buys him in the summer

One of the many frustrations of being relegated

Never getting to see the potential smoke show of xavi, maddison, Kudus and kulusevski in a game
