Absolutely knocks me sick. I was skiing last Feb when we played in the cup final against Liverpool and there were people sat in the bar that were in (don't think they were Liverpool fans they were just anti-City) giving him shit to the point that I stood up walked over to their table and offered any one of them out if they wanted it. Obviously none of them did because they were all mouth but I would happily have taken a beating and got a few good digs in to some bellends for giving one of ours shit.
It's fuckin pathetic. He's what 21-22? Give the guy a break. He's only been here a season. Some of you gave the Goat shit for his first year then hung off his dick the rest of the time.
Give the kid a chance!!
Mase mate. If you're talking about the forum as a whole, fair enough, but so far in this thread the only ones that I can see accused of giving him stick is myself and Notts.
I personally would hardly categorise our opinion of his left footed finishing as stick.
I doubt NB would be the type to abuse one of our players at a match or watching one. I know I certainly wouldn't.
I'm on record in some other recent thread as saying, if he had trust in his left foot he could be brilliant.
I agree wholeheartedly with NB though. Any professional footballer that cannot use his left, particularly a forward who commands a top fee, needs to put in some extra hours on the training pitch.
As FIBD has pointed out. He has scored with his left so maybe it's a confidence thing.
It is affecting his whole game however.
And yes I do also agree he has been one of our better players this year.
He has competition for s place now, so no harm in improving.
Now settle back into the sun lounger and listen to the waves on the shore.
Didn't mean to get your dander up.
