Other Games 21st 22nd October

[CCTV]

Luis Diaz is now 7 goals and 4 assists in 12 games at his new club.

Unlike Cody - who is decent but nothing more - he isn’t mainly popping up on the end of a move crafted by others to tap home. He is defending from the front - winning the ball back - driving at teams and causing them to fracture, This is before we look at the numbers. Harry Kane thinks it’s Christmas and he’s been left alone in the house with the Turkey.

Great win last night and we looked much better … but we are massively missing this fella.

Bayern fans believe they have signed the best in Europe btw

When you posted this, I hadn't posted in the thread. Its funny how you've developed a dislike for goals & assists since.

By win ratio, Diaz is better than Salah & Gakpo. And essentially as much better than Salah, as he is better than Gakpo.

Using goals and assists per minute, Salah is better than both Diaz & Gakpo. He's essentially as much better than Gakpo, as he is better than Diaz.

The choice is yours Steveo, accept the importance of goals and assists, which show Salah is better than Diaz.
Or stick with your new metric which posits Diaz is better than Salah.

A classic deflection.


And in that post I made - which BTW you have now quoted 3 times - I specifically state that my argument moves beyond the numbers to highlight his defending from the front, winning the ball back, and fracturing defences.

Do you have problems reading English?

If you're going to compare players on G+A per minute, you are missing the entire point of the comparison. Diaz offers a different, crucial tactical impact that doesn't always show up on the scoresheet—a factor we are clearly missing.

And Kev is right - you are a waste of time… and I took this stance a year ago and simply ignored you. I should never have allowed myself to get drawn in again.

There is no point engaging with someone who is so clearly unhinged, who is unable to accept reality and - at an instant - ready to tell us that black is in fact white.

And….NO… yet again - the players valuations are not the same , they don’t represent parity in terms of quality and in fact point clearly to one player being considered the superior.

Diaz is about to turn 29 in a few months and Cody just turned 26 the day before yesterday and their current valuations on (Transfermarkt ONLY btw are the same. Even as recently as this summer Diaz was valued at £80 million while Cody was £70. This despite a near 3 year discrepancy in age and Diaz being so much closer to 30.!

But carry on with your baloney if you must - keep the shilling up from your sordid little bedroom...

However I suggest you disconnect the internet before you embarrass yourself even more.
