Is this a joke? It would be one thing if you included Donny’s match stats that at least indicated he was a contributor.Actually looking at all the games DVB played more than 45 minutes in last season...
3 starts in the Prem and twice on at half time. 4 wins, 1 loss. 18 scored, 6 conceded. (included the 9-0)
4 starts in the CL group. 2 wins, 2 losses. 12 scored, 6 conceded.
Started all 4 FA cup games. 3 wins, 1 loss. 6 scored, 3 conceded.
Started 3 League cup games. All wins. 8 scored, 0 conceded.
Total - 16 games. 12 wins, 3 losses. 44 scored, 15 conceded.
Obviously weaker opponents in the early cup rounds etc but the bottom line is when Donny played a big part of the match the result tended to be pretty good.
Note also that he is only playing against lesser sides.
Ole and the coaching staff see him every day in training. Clearly, they are seeing what we see when he steps on the field: a player who doesn’t offer much in progression of play, isn’t a contributor defensively, and looks like he’s terrified of making a mistake.
