Why the personal attacks? Just make the point without attacking the person. It's not hard.

It would be great if people could do that.

Read the first bit again.

Absolutely not.

Mate, I honestly recommend a really long lie down, and whatever drugs it takes to make you less of a monomaniacal bore.

Don't talk to me like I'm Footy. Disagree with my opinion but don't think you're gonna try and bully me off here.

Then stop acting like it! Good grief, 'bullying', because you've murdered this thread and it's being pointed out to you?

Here's how it goes. With a level of glee that makes me think of Nigel Farage after an immigrant does a crime, you post something snarky in this thread. Some poor innocent thinks Wow, that's harsh, I disagree. You bring out literally the same statistics as you do 29 times a day to prove that a goal record better than 1 in 3 is, in fact, shit. Some other poor bastard chimes in to say that Watkins' goals record is decent and when combined to his all-round game makes him a considerable player. You say - like someone frozen from the 50s waking up in 2025 - that the all-round game doesn't count. And you do this 29 times a day.

So what do we conclude? Either a) you're a troll, or b) you have a degree of monomaniacal obsession that, honestly, you should seek help for. Everyone's seen your damn opinion, everyone knows your selective view of the stats, everyone knows exactly what you think in unbelievable detail, and yet you insist on ruining this thread. I'm asking kindly - please, stop.

He's lost a yard of pace and his willingness to work hard. The latter he can rediscover, but he's not worth his place in the side at the moment. Malen is no better down the middle. I would play Guessand there for a few games.

It's not just that, he's seemingly incapable of bringing a ball under control or holding off an opponent as well.

His performances have been dismal on the whole since the Euro's last year, I was a big fan of him in the past but I'm pig sick of watching him turn out for us now. I'm not sure when it turned for me but whining like a titty baby about not starting when he'd not deserved it was probably the last straw.

he's turning into a boring footballer.
Needs to sort himself out.

Our best form came with Rashford, despite being signed to play on the left, playing down the middle and actually giving us a player who could hold the ball and run in behind. The difference was massive.
