I just find myself taking exception to someone ignoring what we do have in our ranks in order to cement their 'bias' about what we don't have, be that your moaning about depth in general or glossing over this summer's recruitment re Eriksen's potential exit.
Again... You didn't start off bemoaning that lack of new "playmaker"; you complained of a lack of creativity so I guess I found the shift of goalposts a tad annoying in the sense that I may have responded differently or not at all.
If I seem a little irritated, do you not think pretentding not to understand simple statements in my retort may further fuel this?
If I've confused my engagement with you pre-match with a similar exchange I had with another poster then fair play, I'll hold my hands up and apologise (even though your underlying sentiment was balatantly the same), but what on earth do you mean by "jumping you out of nowhere"?
Should I have PM'd you in advance before replying or something?
Of course a) how we lined up last year and b) potential line-ups for this season; alongside mention of c) the other players in our ranks and d) those we've brought in this summer all addresses your comments about what we lack... Especially if my replies are taken on board as per how you originally articulated your complaint.
If we're not playing with a trad. #10 then why would we blow a tonne of money buying a new one? ...Meanwhile we bought 2 players to help bolster creativity and control from CM.
(That's why I posted that 433 that I did; not cos I fancy myself as some kind of visionary or armchair manager.)
