    Not at all, I'm just seeing whether you apply your own logic equally to others, or if it's just Isak you have some personal issue with (whether it's really about him, or just you trying to wind other people up).

    Despite still not actaully answering about Gordon, I think you've given us your answer to the real question. <cheers>

    But then you can't judge ASM on his defensive output - it'd be like judging Botman or Burn on their lack of goals - despite as you say the defence being brilliant so far (in the main)! It's madness.

    So you don't think that for the time spent on the pitch (9.1 games), his Goal Contribution (4g/a = 1GC every 2.2 games) is good enough for him to be cut some slack for his defensive shortcomings?

    I'll be damned if 1 goal per 2.2 games isn't good enough for a forward!

    Gordon hasn't been here nearly a full season there's a difference there.

    What you're doing is not liking a player you likes price and return being questioned.

    What's wrong with suggesting a player hasn't lived up to his price tag ??? It was acceptable with Joelinton in less than 7 months

    **** me, that's hilarious <laugh>

    I'm not sure if it's the Freud meets Einstein beginning where Munson's in the guys head analysing his emotions.....OR the immediate way he knows the reason for those emotions and puts the guy right in his place....OR the strange sexual subtext that has now entered the conversation regarding the discovery of awkward and intense feelings for Alexander Isak...

    Essentially it's OK to pick at some players and not at others .

    I prefer to be fair and be critical where it's due and credit when it's due .

    Max lacks consistency and end product at times but has been a difference maker in his time here

    Longstaff runs around alot but lacks quality

    Isak so far hasn't done enough to warrant paying 60 million, but looks like he has ability.

    You should read up on emotional decision making rather than laugh it's interesting and when football is concerned it's massive.

    To an extent, but I said "so far". They've both only been here a few months.

    What you're doing is not liking a player you likes price and return being questioned.

    Nope, I'm questioning whether you apply your logic equally, or have a personal issue with Isak, or are just WUMMING.

    What's wrong with suggesting a player hasn't lived up to his price tag ???

    Nothing at all, what are your thoughts on Anthony Gordon so far?

    It was acceptable with Joelinton in less than 7 months.

    Don't think I was part of that, but good to know.

    So you agree with everything I've just said, but found it annoying.

    When someone answers a question with "Nope", they're not agreeing with everything you're saying.

    No, if you read my post again you'll see I asked you 2 questions, again, but you still haven't answered, because don't like it when your own behaviour is turned back on you. Interesting psychological behaviour. That's why I'm still pushing the button.

    Returning to the game...and returning to sanity, for just a moment.

    Cheating twatface Willy Boly is out, along with a load of others, including Brennan Johnson, who seems like their best player so far.

    I know they've still got a billion other players, but this is still good.

    Bottom line is you like pushing other people, but don't like answering direct questions in a direct manner yourself, in case you trip yourself up.

    Some very interesting reading on that kind of behaviour and the psychology of the type of person who uses it - but I guess you know all that already, as you're an expert.

    Yeah, Brennan Johnson is a good player, be happy for our defence if he isn't playing.

    Behaviour? All I've said is what I think ... I'm cool as a cucumber you're using capital letters and actually resorting to pointing out a silly comparison that I'll likely agree with if he's been unavailable for almost a full season.

    I'll say it again though and it's OK to pick at one players failings but not others on here.

    No it's not mate I'm pointing out max is being piled on just like Joelinton and I'm not saying isak isn't capable of playing in this league am i ?

    Even longstaff is doing well now I didn't see that coming.

    Anyone know if Wood can play, I presume he'll be missing for them as well as it's still technically a loan right?
