It's all very well saying that people don't understand football if they do not agree with your viewpoint, but surely you have to back it up with your explanation as to why you think Modric is the most missed?
Not that I disagree with your viewpoint (see my earlier post in the thread if you like), but I would like to hear your opinion on the matter.
actually it was if they didn't agree with Nayims viewpoint.
Virtually all of the players in the team have an obvious stand in, and some are clearly better than others. You could say that Modric has any number of stand ins, including Bentley and Jenas etc etc
But the crux of the matter is that of all of the players, which one would be the hardest to replace, because of what he does for the team.
I made the condescending remark as a joke, simply because I don't really see anyone beyond Modric as the answer. He is so pivotal in the way the team works, his workrate, skill level, passing ability are just so much higher than everyone elses. Bale is a real talent, but he's played in games where he's been toss, and we've still got by. When Luka is missing or playing badly, the team goes down a notch.
ergo - I share the opinion that its a no brainer, his influence is so great, in terms of team output (when he's playing and on form) - that the question of who is the hardest to replace, because they will be missed the most, is wee big nose himself.
The condescention was deliberate, because I cannot see why everyone can't see it, and why the discussion has to exist. To me its blindingly obvious.
However, I meant no offence, it was a jokey method of getting my opinion across, not a comment to be taken literally. So if anyone was genuinely put out, I apologise without reservation.
I really value your feedback and your opinions will be taken into consideration.......................
