All of the criticisms of his general game here are valid BUT he is still one of the few that is capable of the odd moments of genius on our squad. Yesterday he had a few nice dribbles, through balls to Semedo.
Started the 2nd half well with that great ball to Bob. Should not have been taken off for me.
His corner delivery was also on point. I think it was Pique with the header. Good power but tipped above net by keeper was it?
Needs a few continuous games uninjured and he'll be back to Tops
[MENTION=15376]DonAK[/MENTION] , regarding his contract renewal, why not try lower base sal but big performance and result based upgrades + % of his shirt sales I dunno
This way, if he keeps injured, losses are minimised BUT if he explodes into Beast mode, then the club wins and he wins.
In fact, why can't we do that with all players. Seems ideal right? Or is it against regulations or something..
