El Guepardo
Rafael Van Der Vaart
Why do I get tinkled off about moaning? Great result which none of the pessimists saw coming and I read this morning how crap Royal and Hojbjerg are and Kulusevski looks poor, fudge knows what it would have been like if we lost. I'm happy with this win considering Doherty, Royal, Dier, Sanchez, Hobjerg, Winks are dogbrick, Moura gives the ball away, Son blows hot and cold, Kulusevski is slow and one footed, Kane cant hold the ball. Amazing win, but I suppose City were brick so no merit in the win.
As long as the criticism is balanced and fair, then what would you want?
Would you prefer we say, every player is the best in the World. We should have won 5-0. That’s not the truth, and as far the other side of the line as some of the overly heavy criticism.
Do you think Conte is really sat there with the team, discussing the match, and saying ‘well lads, that was a perfect job, we have the perfect team, my training work is clearly a success. You can all go home and don’t need to train ever again.
I think people shouldn’t be overly harsh, but equally no one should talk with their head stuck in the sand. We support the team in spite of the weaknesses, aware of the weaknesses, yet we will cheer us on.
Focus needs to be given to the success of players yesterday, and again, I think you’ll find praise for our players. As part of the balance. Talk about what players do well, what they do badly, but we will always support the team.
