You wouldn’t dare say that face to face with my youngest CC, she’d wipe the floor with you. When I raised a child, be it son or daughter, they definitely learned their ABC’s about football.
In this particular case I agree with you both. If he had been doing what he’s been doing recently then he would be at a more successful Club. Not necessarily a big Club. GLIF is right in that he does have the talent and is capable of playing at this level but he simply hasn’t applied himself enough to achieve this which is why he has been such a let down in footballing terms.
Joselu I can take because he gives a 100% all the time. Perez doesn’t. Yes Perez has always run around a lot but running around a lot isn’t necessarily giving 100% not when you have the natural footballing talent that Perez does have. That’s why people, including me, have got on Perez's back not because he doesn’t run around a lot but because he could do so much more.
