Course it is relevant, more money you spend then more scrutiny on it. If he was 20m then less eyes and less pressure to perform, bit strange you don't see that. So why is he not fit? I don't quiet get why he isn't fit, same excuses were given back in October and were more plausible then but still didn't buy it back then.
Well that excuse worked for Chiesa...
So Nunez mk2?
It's not a case of 'wanting him to' or 'expecting him to'.
Do you expect him to fail? If so, I would be curious to know why?
Have you seen any form of pattern or system with the team this season? It's been disjointed, sloppy and we've neither been a possession side nor a side that has created much in the way of clear cut chances. Of course it works both ways. He hasn't been great, but lets not act like he's walked into a side that's functioning on any level. It's a fucking mess. You know that, we all know that, so it's a bit myopic to ask "why is it up to the team to use him correctly?". In fact, it's downright daft and unfair. A team shouldn't be spending over £100m on a player and then struggling to support him. It also doesn't help that his future is very much with two equally new players, it will take time for all parties to develop an understanding, something that we all unfortunately have to be patient with, it will take some indulgence to get there.
There aren't many Salah haters and if there are, we know they are generally retarded anyway. As for Salah apologists, I think they are mostly within their right to defend a player with his record for us. What player doesn't have flaws? He's earned the right, mostly. Anything else in terms of attitude is largely just a byproduct of his generational talent. We know he's always had a bit of an ego, we've not seen it spill over too much or too disastrously.
We haven't yet looked like a side that is easy to work with so far. So far Wirtz I can see looking promising at times and do remember Pires struggling first season but I guess we are used to LFC strikers just hitting it off so it's a bit unique still. Firmino is the last one that was a slow burner but it did require a managerial change to get the best out of him. I don't think it's myopic to expect a new 130m player to integrate into a title winning team at all. I expect us to integrate him but I think we have tried right and seem to be making an effort to.
I do quite like Woltemade though, he comes across as a good lad and he's proven a lot of doubters wrong so far.
Yeah I agree, I think he needs to get involved more, but so many players have fallen by the way side and struggled this season, it's hard to tell if it's the manager/system, the players or a combination of both.
