Re: Official MKII- Paulinho
Do you guys not have eyes at all??? It's amazing to see all the stick Paulinho gets! 1.Yes he faded at the latter part of the season, and 2. had an uneventful WC, BUT 3. he'd played more games in a year than probably any other top level footballer. 4. He's by far our best goal scoring central midfielder, and he offers something that's been really lacking in the last years; forward runs INTO THE BOX! How often have we seen us move the ball sideways back and fort in front of the box, with no movement or attacking runs. He brings that to the team! Not only does that make opportunities for him to get the ball, he also drags defenders out of position, and creates space for others. He's also good at marking space, and if you actually know about football and not only watch were the ball is, he has stopped MANY counter attack only by being in the right place.
1. Faded would suggest that he'd been good before, he was ****, then became ****ter.
2. He may as well have not been on the pitch.
3. I don't see playing a lot of football in a year as an excuse for being absolutely **** and the invisible act/***** out of challenges/hide behind a marker games can't have been too taxing for his body
4. 8 goals for us in his first season isn't bad, but that doesn't make up for how terrible he was last season.
I was going to crack on and pick your post apart but obviously there's not really a point to that..
I ****ing despise Paulihno, I really do. But even with that, every time I see him put on a Spurs shirt I always watch with a positive, hopeful attitude, hoping that it'll be different, that he'll at least put 100% in to it because that's really the least I expect if you're going to play for Spurs but ****, he is to football what beige is to colours. The worst thing is how weak of a character he seems to be, which is strange because we heard so much about him being a winner, makes me wonder if there's other issues that are messing with him.
There's a footballer in there somewhere, but I think Pochettino has some severe work to do to get him to play at the level that made us want to buy him because at the moment he's stealing a very generous living.
Edit: Speaking of players that **** me off, as if I'm Alan Hutton over there <<<< at the moment...****..
