Yeah right, I'm sure Bergshit will fire us right back up to beat Liverpool, coming off a 99 point season.
While they have Salah and Mane on each flank, we have Bergwijn, who isn't even 10% of the player either of those two are.
We aren't winning anything. Mourinho has clearly...
Knee jerk?
I've been saying this for weeks now.
He's done nothing since being a run of games, and now he costs us a huge win by being too rubbish to put away too simple chances.
You have players like Son who bury those chances with ease, and you have worthless garbage like Bergwijn who choke on...
Utterly worthless piece of garbage.
Two big moments, 1v1 with the keeper, and choked them both.
If you want to win trophies, you need big players taking their chances in big moments, the complete opposite of Bergshit. He's a slow, overweight hack who can't finish, can't assist, can't do...
You mean except scoring that goal? At least that's something. Bergwijn still has donuts to his name.
What has Bergwijn shown in the Europa League? Same 0 goals, 0 assists. Lucas has 3 goals and one assist in the Europa League.
Bergwijn hasn't showed anything another fullback couldn't have done.
I said goals and assists.
Except this season, Lucas has produced more in fewer starts, even if it's only one goal.
He is also producing in the Europa League (remember Kane had to earn his Premier League spot through Europa form in Pochettino's first year).
Is Lucas the perfect option? No, but...
And I re-iterate: if we want to get real about competing for the title, it can't just be those two. If we exclusively rely on two players to generate goals and assists, we're going to become increasingly easy to shut down.
Every single Premier League winning team has a bare minimum of 4 players...
You're falling back to Willian? My point is Chelsea relied on more than just Hazard and Costa for goals and assists. Oscar got 6 goals and 8 assists in 28 appearances, which is exactly what you expect from an attacking midfielder in a title challenging team. You cannot challenge for Premier...
Oscar got 6 goals and 8 assists, which is 14 direct score involvements altogether. I think that's enough to effectively throw this paragraph out the window.
But as you said regarding Ndombele and Lo Celso, it's not all about goals and assists either. I'm a big fan of what Ndombele has brought...
Except we just drew with Crystal Palace? Even if you account for their goalkeeper saves, we barely created anything in the final third, particularly in the second half, and one of the main reasons for that is Bergwijn being a weak link.
I don't buy possession retention as an argument because we...
In other words, he's being asked to perform the duties of a fullback, in which case we may as well play Doherty. At least Doherty has an assist to his name, and knows how to play a decent ball into the box.
Also, solely on goals and assists? Did you read my next sentence? Bergwijn has no pace...
Since when is ball retention a high priority in a team that favors counterattack? If ball retention were so vital, we should've been extremely concerned with the amount of possession we let Arsenal have. Even a bottom 3 team like West Brom had long spells of possession against us when we played...
and that sublime technique and "game intelligence" has yielded an impressive total of 0 goals and 0 assists in 8 appearances. He also gets beaten for pace every time a through ball is played for him.
He is a garbage footballer, absolute garbage.
0 goals, 0 assists in 8 appearances. Too slow, 0 threat in the final third. Trash.
"m-muh defensive workrate!"
Even another fullback would offer more offensively than this guy.
