It has been going on for years. It just seems like it's becoming more normal now than ever before. Not just in football, same thing is happening in the NBA as well. Players are bigger than the teams in many situations, and their fans are following them around. The rise of the fantasy thing has also probably contributed to this.People need to just admit that they dont like him.
I might have respect for them instead of them nitpicking and using him as a scape goat.
Im not that big a fan of his but he was fine today.
Good touch,linked up well,had a couple of shots on target but hey ho he didnt press once or twice during his cameo.
Regarding people being fans of players rather than the team this has been going on for years.
Berba vs Hernandez was the first instance i can recall of pure fanboyism and bias.
