Who is a player that you have written off that has actually not been anywhere near as bad as your initial judgement of them?
Are people, in general, willing to give players a chance in our team before they write them off and start calling them crap/average/shit etc?
I'm constantly hearing a narrative that player x is shit or average because they have not worked out at a recent club or had some poor games for us. I think some context is always needed with these 'opinions'.
There is a difference between players performing poorly and actually being poor and giving them time and support to adapt and come good should, in my opinion, be the attitude we all have about every player that comes to our club.....
I wrote off Lamela initially, thinking he would never produce anything for us. And whilst injuries did never quite let him live up to his playing potential, he was Spurs through and through and I should not have written him off as early on as I did.
