Xavi not been at his best, but defo not one of our top 5 problems.
"Come to dig out a kid"No surprise to see all the worst people on this forum coming in to dig out a kid playing injured.
The lofted pass he put onto Dom's head is the kind of assist only he and Maddison can make in our entire squad. But yeah "he was hiding"
1) 22 (soon to be 23) is not a kid so quit trying to justify your false statement with another false statement.
What a load of utter nonsense. You're just having a massive sulk because we're shit and you've decided to take it out on the lowest possible hanging fruit. Your accusations that Simons "hides" is demonstrably bullshit. There isn't a single player who shows more than him or is not afraid to make a mistake and, if he does, immediately tries to win it back. He is the very opposite of the thing you accuse him of. Laughable. He may or may not be "shit" but I've never seen him hide once in a Spurs shirt.
Yet, we don’t have one that can pass. I’d keep Bergvall as a rotation option and sell the rest
Firstly you having a hissy fit at being called a "fairy" stating it doesn't make me "hard" then proceeding to call me a "piece of shit" and "prick" is deliciously ironic.
Richard Arlison
now) you don't dare engage when it's specifically about his actual performances and his stats (which is the worst in the league...I repeat the worst in the league). You both just use these throw away remarks "he's played well" then when the stats come to play it's totally ignored. "Yeh but but but" oh hush up.
Pal, our build-up play is so laborious that whenever the kid has a shooting opportunity, there's minimum 10 or 12 players between ball and goal...including our own players who don't have the football IQ to get out the friggin way or make decoy runs to take defenders with them.
Nothing you've written since has given me any inclination to change my mind that, for whatever reason, you've suddenly gone from being a mildly acerbic poster to just being downright nasty.Your arguments holds no weight. Aim it at people that call our players "cunts", "pricks", "charlatans" (which is easy to find in the Richi and Johnson threads) but critiquing performances is fair game no matter how young and I've never stepped the line to abuse on the actual person...just the footballer and his ability.
Your actual argument about Gray is all over the place. Firstly you're saying he is playing well and now your argument is about his age and how I constantly target him. Much like every other poster that actually defends his performances (which is pretty much just you and
Is Gray young? Yes he's young. is he playing well? Absolutely not. If your point was "yeh fair enough he's not playing well but he's young" that's one thing but both of you state he's playing well and I will always back my argument with stats to show that not only is he not playing well, he is literally one of the worst performing midfielders in the whole league.
I think you're right. He sees and attempts things that no one else does. The issue right now is that he isn't executing it anywhere nearly as consistently enough.
