Still managing to steal a living on the basis of six good games in about four years.
Young is the perennial big club time-waster. He barely plays and won't kick up a fuss regarding game time. He'll just loiter around in the background, neither hindering or really contributing. It should tell you all you need to know.
Christ that is vitriolic even by Caf standards.
Young has played wherever he has been asked to by LVG and given it his all. While there may be valid questions as to whether his best is good enough, his attitude and application has been exemplary in the last two seasons and for a stretch of last season he was the only one willing to take on the responsibility of having and trying to do something with the ball.
"He barely plays" because the manager makes those decisions. I'm sure if given the power, Young would put himself in the team every week.
Not kicking up fuss about game time is a bad trait? I thought that was commonly called professionalism. Maybe it would be preferable if he was mouthing off to the press and undermining the club and manager?
"He'll just loiter in the background..." what is this drivel even based on? Should he be on his soapbox leading press conferences, on the sidelines issuing tactical adjustments, starting e-petitions?
Young is one of the few players that has endured the LVG and come out of it looking better than they did before. His career was on the uppers yet he still put in a shift whenever asked and managed to displace our record signing on the merit of his performances. He has since played enthusiastically in both FB roles only to be rewarded with being frozen out of the team instead of getting game time in his more accustomed position. Knock his ability all day long but a character assassination is unjustifiable when he is one of the select few to display any redeemable character whatsoever.
