I can't say that I'm unhappy with the stat, someone has to take the pens and convert them he's doing a good job and chipping in with a few assists.
Well no, of course not. But hardly worthy of the rawk'esque poster that highlights his goalscoring prowess this season eh?
His inclusion may have been a bit much (maybe Sterling aswell) they should have stuck to Suarez and Sturridge as the stats speak for themselves. Nothing wrong with adding a bit of gloss though.
No doubt. Sterling has improved and is making a difference now and Coutinho is hot and cold but the front 2 are the main reason we are there. If we are to stay there or better then we need more from the rest of the team.
A goal is a goal Plus his assist record this season is very impressive considering the role he now plays.
The majority of his assists have come from dead ball deliveries, so the point about his new role is largely moot. Still, even I have to admit that his ability from set pieces is still amongst the best in the business. (the wrinkly headed, DJ bashing t**t ) #balance
He'd not get a starting place at Goodison ahead of Barry, Barkley or McCarthy. So he'd not improve us at all. He's Leon Osman without the guile...
I can actually remembers someone on your board comparing him to Xavi when you first signed him. Who was it ?
haha, I remember his passing stats being lauded as "da best in dur League"......................and then it slowly dawned on them that he never actually passed it forwards
Just a message to those that are going to the game on sunday, no disgusting chants about Munich, Hillsborough and Heysel on sunday please, there's no need for it, your there to enjoy the game, support your teams.
