He probably wanted to but was told absolutely not so now you have a player who doesn't really want to be here that's had to be begged to stay twiceMaybe he should have gone to Barca

My post worrying that we were only getting Cavani’s Soccer Aid years was only a year too early.Bless, no one tries harder and he gets through some running but it is all so slow that he barely matters.
Yeah I agree Cavani off the bench has 20-30 minutes to run around like a madman using his movement to unsettle the opposition as a fresh player when the other team is tired and he looks amazing. In these last few matches we have found out he can't do that for 90 minutes. Or even 60 minutes.He's awful at everything apart from runs in the box and putting in a shift.
Can't control the ball, shield it or find a team mate the majority of the time.
Dunno why we keep starting him. Off the bench fine but starting is madness.
He's always been like that, throughout his career there's been endless examples of his clumsy touch. People just got carried away with him last year because the contrast between him and Martial was so stark in terms of energy, desire, belief and he's in his swansong phase, with a few memorable moments, so all the conversation around him got wrapped up in a romantic notion.Cavani was excellent last season… terrible this season. His overall touch and technical ability has gone. Looks like he’s declining.
Martial who didn’t want to be apart of the squad today and went missing last season by not reporting to training when he should have?Shit since Newcastle game. Why do I have the feeling that Martial is the one who should be retained?
We never sign the best strikers in their prime. We’ll probably sign Haaland when he’s 33.I thought he worked pretty hard tbh.
For large parts of match he seemed to be playing LW so he did constantly track back which is major criticism of front 4 on here.
Would've been cool to see him in premier league in his 20s, highlights reel now.
Seemed he was lw, Bruno beside matic and Fred defending from the front when we didn't have the ball. It was all over the placeI thought he worked pretty hard tbh.

He did. Question is how much it helps us overall, he looked completely empty at around 60 mins and shouldn't have stayed on. Either we need to bring him off much much earlier or we have to bring him on as a sub. Struggled to make an impact on the ballI thought he worked pretty hard tbh.
