I'm often misunderstood on here, for the simple reason that most people who behave like twats and stereotypical football fans, assume I'll be feeling and acting as they do routinely when posting something, when nothing could be further from the truth.
You lot slate players and have these to me bizarre stereotypical football fan knee jerk reactions and swings that a player who has been brilliant for several seasons for us and maybe 6 or 7 games on the trot in any current season who has a poor performance by their own very high standards in one game is absolutely shit all of a sudden , I calmly critique players, Fabinho and Gomez has always had gaping flaws in their games, most here absolutely loved Fab well above the merits of his limited ability simply and purely because he for a time, took Henderson's place in the team, just ridiculous, stereotypical football fan behaviour.
Me, I like what works, I know what players in each position and role in our system are expected and required to do, I expect a player playing No6 in Jurgen's set up to be at least able to do the basics I think every midfielder should do and be able to do.
Have their head on swivel constantly scanning the field to get snapshots of all players positions and use that to consistently put himself in the right positions
Have a midfielders abilities of reading the game and anticipation to be able to put himself in the right positions proactively through doing the above and using those abilities together
Fab is a RB converted to a midfielder, he doesn't do the first of those things and doesn't have a midfielders abilities in the second of those 2 things, until the coaching team and video analysis team put a lot of work in with him to address those glaring issues, I'll never ever rate him, I never have rated him or Gomez
When Hendo first arrived, like both of those players, he had 'something' but it was really obvious and apparent that like Fab he didn't have his head on swivel, look around or scan the pitch nearly enough to be a top midfielder, that was my critique of Hendo when he first arrived, and he worked on it, improved on it considerably and became a top top No6 in world football, something too many here simply don't see or appreciate
