6 goals and 2 assists overall in 1200 minutes. That is one goalinvolvement every 150 minutes, which is actually quite okay. The stick he is getting here is beyond words. He is no Suarez, Romario etc. but that was never to be expected. He was bought in a desperate situation to aid a wounded team, and that is exactly what he has done. I was extremely sceptical when he arrived, but he has surpassed my expections by far. His role is strange though. He is making deep runs to create spaces for other players and sees very little of the ball. He often disappears out of the games despite doing lots of important work. Braithwaite is playing a supporting role in the attack and would score more were the play focused on crosses into the box or counterattacks. That is not Koemans game and therefore Martin must do the fruitless hard work. I think he is doing that quite well. That said, he surely has his limitations. The attitude, the discipline and the hard work should be respected. He is giving his last for the shirt and Koeman is not playing him out of pity. That should not be ridiculed. To support the team is also to support the players going through an unsuccesful spell. Barca does need a better striker, but the market and the funds are limited. Braithwaite, Griezman, Dembele, Trincao and Konrad is what we've got right now. Get behind them.
