This is fucking weird. For one, there has been no personal attacks. Two, it’s nothing to do with expectations being higher, tickets being expensive, salaries being higher, the invention of social media or whatever.
We were in league one and KMac, Jacob’s, Henry were good players. They were all better than Marshall Munetsi and Jacob’s barely got a career going at championship level.
I’ve also sat in the ground and told anyone that would listen that Munetsi is awful and then looked at stats on my phone at 80 mins to check what I’ve seen is correct and yes he’s completed 5 passes in that time and touched the ball less than 2 players who came on at 60 minutes. Also, much like me when I was 6 years old, he can only strike the ball if it’s bouncing.
Absolutely dreadful player which was obvious to anyone with eyes after about 5 minutes (same as Jackson). Made worse by the fact we paid €18m for this level of ability for someone in their late 20s and probably then 70k p/w on top of that.
I can’t see how anyone in Ligue 1 is paying him more than half what he’s on here so if we can somehow convince someone to pay most his wages and pay us half our money back in transfer fee in the summer we’ve done well.
And
@North Shropshire Lad , criticising Hwang but not Munetsi is just weird. Hwang isn’t good enough, but he was also a fraction of the price and has actually done well at times and has some use if you play to his very limited skillset. He also probably annoys people more as he actually touches the ball in a game (and losing it) rather than hiding from it.
