Player Xavi Simons

Eh? Thats not how time works. One way or the other we play 90 mins of football. His time getting treatment made no difference.
If we want to criticise Simons for anything then its for being weak on the ball and trying to get a free kick in the buildup to their first equaliser.
What's stopping you then?
Every game is a must win so I'm not sure what difference it would have made
Every single time he has a decent game, there's still people piling in on him, despite the fact that a) he's clearly the biggest (only) hope we have of pulling off the impossible and b) he's actually pretty good. Instead of any positives we're talking about how he hit the post/ celebrated too much/ got cramp and therefore cost us the game.
People say that the fans don't deserve relegation, and by and large that's true, obviously. But fuck me if I'm not thinking some on here might

I was bitching about his play all match yesterday……..until.
Still doesn’t make up for weak physicality and flopping

Getting fouls?
I prefer a player who fights through the “fouls” and takes advantage of opportunities rather than seeking the free kick. JMO
Our most creative player currently. He’s got to play if we are gonna stay up
They’ll praise Gallagher and Palhinha for pumping a fist though.
Surely, the time that it takes for the magic sponge guys to run on and off the pitch etc is added to the 90 minutes? Also as far as I know, the match can resume if a player is removed from the pitch to receive treatment, thereby reducing the amount of ET. I could be wrong, but that's how I see it.
He's the only fit player that can make something out of nothing.
There were times where I feel he should ride a tackle, as like Maddison, he is a marked man, and we don't get much from refs. Also, the goal celebration was way over the top; yes it was a great goal, and I went mental when it went in, but there was so much more game time to go, not last minute. And I would fine any player who takes his shirt off, such a needless yellow card.
Having said that, yesterday showed what he is capable of and hope that he can consistently deliver, at least for the rest of the season.

The words "Rainy" "Night" and "Stoke" spring to mindA year in the championship will do him good
I’m worried he’s already getting a reputation as a lightweight that throws himself to the ground at every opportunity. Just like Romero’s reputation as a hothead is a problem, these reputations with officials end up hurting.
I'm more worried about a league that normalises headbutting if you're a Gooner in a title race.
No.... No it isn't.
That just represents depth; not a high functioning front 4...... (Still lacks a sufficient LWer and fear-worthy ST)
Damn shit that we haven't had the benefit of it this season tho.
