Did you read Pochettino's quote ? Hardly high praise !
Hold on...
Do you think by that I mean he's actively looking to avoid scoring?
This was your post. I'm arguing that it's every player's responsibility to score (with the exception of the keeper and defence) and I'd argue it's their primary responsibility as well, to score.
You said Google. I did. Found it within 30 seconds. Spend longer and I'm sure positive quotes on the others could be found. However, life's too short.
I don't think I asked you to Google anything.
So, to compare Poch praising Erik Lamela's performances for Spurs you've found a single sentence of Poch praising N'Jie just before he was about to sign for us.
Hahaha, amazing.
I know what I posted.This was your post. I'm arguing that it's every player's responsibility to score (with the exception of the keeper and defence) and I'd argue it's their primary responsibility as well, to score.
Im asking you if you think I meant he comes on actively to avoid scoring.
Also, by your logic here, Claude Makelele's responsibility was to score goals too?
Saying a player is performing well is not praise?
So Lamela was handed a new contract, was praised by Poch, started 3 CL games but Poch doesn't rate?
Interesting.
Post the full quote.
Why are you trying to reverse what I said?
You said that an AM sub's primary role is not to score goals, not I.
I'm not sure what Makalele has to do with anything. Surely he would have been better if he scored more goals?
It's every players responsibility to score (and/or save) goals. If it wasn't, why are they on the field?
I did.
It's in the article.
Trusted in CL, new contract, praised in the media.
You can't spin Poch don't rate him just because you don't.
You asked (and helpfully pointed me in Google's direction)
It took me 30 seconds to find that. I'm sure there are others, but as I say, life's too short.
No I didn't.
I said Erik Lamela's role isn't that.
For some reason you can't differentiate between Lamela and all AM's.
Maybe I should have clarified...as you seem to have very little perception of the conversation...
...as Spurs players.
Posting a quote of Poch praising a Lyon player means nothing.
Post the whole quote , you were happy to do it for the bits you liked !
This conversation has spun into the truly bizarre!
Lamela's primary role is 'not to score goals' I can't get my head around this statement.
Bringing into the discussion Zaha and Makelele has addled my brain.
Are you sure you've not re-read your original statement, realised how dumb it was, and are now trying to muddy the water?
I know and you know , cut the shit.
Nope. My perception of the conversation is perfectly clear.
You asked me to find a quote. I did within 30 seconds.
You then qualify what you asked me to do. A fine example of goalposts being moved.
