My favourite thing is when someone makes a statistics-based argument to criticise a player, and it's usually Harry Winks, gets proven wrong by the actual facts, and then dismisses them because their eyes tell them different despite the fact that their argument that can be quantifiable and is the complete opposite to what they're saying.
I haven't been around here for ages before the last week or so, but I see nothing's changes when it comes to Harry Winks. Those who actually have more than a facile understanding of football recognise just how good he is and just how important the role is that he plays. He would be incredible under Guardiola, who has complimented him before. If ever there was a perfect player/manager combo it would be those two.
You know what I find most incredible though? On one hand, we have fans pining for a lazy, unfit Ndombele who often looks like he can't be bothered and is unable to reach even the most basic standards of work rate and effort. On the other, we have many of the same fans denigrating and wanting to get rid of a guy who is not only a massive Spurs fan, incredibly hardworking, and who we know will run himself into the ground for the club, but is also great on the ball, selfless and absolute quality to those who know football, including three of the best managers in the world. It's unbecoming. It's pathetic. It's just fucking ludicrous.
