Majority of people are stupid. Stupid people think they are clever and rarely ever question their own judgement or views. The amount of stats I see used, taken completely out of context and with zero nuance is stunning.Not directed at you directly, but I wish people would bore off with all these stats. How about using the MK1 eyeball and actually seeing the impact he has on games. For example teams may feel the need to double up on him allowing others more space, etc…
Stats can be manipulated to suit an agenda and rarely give the true picture.
Neymar is exactly the bar that has been set for him I think.Tweet

Not his potential at all, but I do think he'll be less of a "what could have been" like Neymar has become the past 2-3 seasons.Neymar is exactly the bar that has been set for him I think.
I've just heard his dribbling is one of his main attributes and it seems that that, when compared to our other wingers, who often get criticized about this, he dribbles less than them. That's not manipulated, that's a fact! However, as I said, he does have a skilset that will be important to our team.Not directed at you directly, but I wish people would bore off with all these stats.

In my opinion, stupid is people believing Antony will come here and do something he's not capable of, and then have the audacity to come on here and slate him for not doing what they made up in their heads. We see it year in year out!Majority of people are stupid. Stupid people think they are clever and rarely ever question their own judgement or views.

Also, most fans don't have a clue about football. They won't admit it but they really don't. Stats give them an easy, high level way of talking about the game and sounding like they have half an idea what they are talking about. You only have to scroll through a bit of tiktok to see how many embarrassing adults think they are pundits.

Was this the match where Haaland dominated Martínez?Tweet

Quick question. What is the definition of a dribble? Is it running ten yards down the line, then cutting back and passing backwards, a la Rashford, or actually taking a player on and being progressive?In my opinion, stupid is people believing Antony will come here and do something he's not capable of, and then have the audacity to come on here and slate him for not doing what they made up in their heads. We see it year in year out!
Dominated? He couldn't get a sniff as Ajax killed themWas this the match where Haaland dominated Martínez?
This is the match British pundits DON'T want you to seeDominated? He couldn't get a sniff as Ajax killed them
That as well.In my opinion, stupid is people believing Antony will come here and do something he's not capable of, and then have the audacity to come on here and slate him for not doing what they made up in their heads. We see it year in year out!
Bang on and the reason why I've pretty much stopped discussing football. Being able to pull stats without context from sites has made every avg Joe an expert.Majority of people are stupid.

hey what do you think about footballBang on and the reason why I've pretty much stopped discussing football. Being able to pull stats without context from sites has made every avg Joe an expert.
This is great. Can see why he doesn’t score as many right now, he often wants to move down the line as a left-footed player on the right. Next step is how to find space when cutting in from a step or a one-two to get shots off, perhaps.Enjoy!
Not if he does a Tonya Harding
The vast majority of fans only ever watch big clubs' matches and couldn't even describe the tactical setup of a team in a match they're currently watching. Somehow the same people are confident enough to say, for example, that Memphis Depay is a shit player based on a brief stint at United 6 years ago when he was 21, never having watched a single minute of him since he left.That as well.
In all honesty, the whole discourse around football is exhausting. I typically only bother with anything online, such as forums etc, when it's a transfer window and that's mainly because it's easier to come here and it spares me the brain trauma I experience whenever I venture onto twitter etc. The standard of debate and conversation is shocking.
It'd be fine if people had any kind of humility about what they say but everyone's a bloody expert.
If you read my initial post, I put the definition of what a dribble is, which was taken from the site.Quick question. What is the definition of a dribble?

Also, from ETH’s perspective, he’s now got a dangerous, high octane player willing to run through walls for him.benefit of Antony, is EtH has worked with him and knows exactly where to play him.
Yeah and I've never seen Malacia not do well. I'm sure there's some bad film of him out there but usually it's him kicking ass and when he does get out of position he has elite recovery.Malacia did extremely well
we took their manager and 2 of their best players. Would have thought it was more appropriate that we cleaned them out.Ajax took us to the cleaners this summer. Fair play to them and good luck to Antony. He’ll be reminded of the price tag constantly by the media circus.
I believe so long as he transfer has been agreed in principle by the deadline, stuff like work permits can happen after the factThe announcement states “subject to international clearance”. When is this clearance expected to arrive? Transfer window shuts in 2 days
Settle in, it isn’t about to go away any time soonSick of hearing about the fee already. Hopefully by the end of the season Antony will make it look like a bargain.
Only if he plays crap.Ajax took us to the cleaners this summer. Fair play to them and good luck to Antony. He’ll be reminded of the price tag constantly by the media circus.
Oh fully prepared for it being mentioned every time he has an average game or mishits a cross.Settle in, it isn’t about to go away any time soon
Zoran Tosic and Januzaj.Is he our first ever left-footed right winger? Don't really think Amad counts.
