But complaining on the internet, however... is gonna change... everything. I'm not one for trying to be a super fan, "real supporter" kind of rubbish on the internet, but the argument that support won't change anything - as if your constant negativity would - is a bit funny.
Diego mate I actually agree with you here. And I've said so many times. Writing posts about a player on an internet forum is not "supporting" that player. They never read the forums and don't care, hell they don't even know we exist. Forums like these are places for supporters to talk amongst themselves. So someone being extremely positive on the forum isn't "support," and someone being negative isn't "support"---they're both really.... nothing. Forums are just a way for supporters to communicate amongst themselves.
The only kind of support that really matters is what goes on at the games. That's the only thing that directly affects the players. If someone boos, that's something I would consider "being unsupportive," the player hears it, it can have an affect on him, etc etc. but someone saying "Moreno isn't very good" on a forum he will never read anyway, is nothing, it's irrelevant as "support goes." But saying "Moreno is amazing" is also irrelevant. Nothing we really say or do on these forums matters, except to us, which is why it's so absurd when someone questions someone else's support here, as the only people who are really affected by it are.... other posters here.
Gomez is just a young lad recently signed, overreacting because of a couple of a decent pre-season performances in a position which is not even his natural one is a bit ridiculous - especially considering we know you'll turn against him the first couple of mistakes he makes.
I never turned against Moreno after his first couple of mistakes. If you go back and look at my posts I was being very reserved actually, just saying things like "he needs to work on his crossing," etc etc. It was only after those mistakes happened again and again and again and in big games that I realized it wasn't just an isolated incident but a general pattern. He can't cross, he can't defend, he has zero positional awareness etc---it's just not good enough.
Anyway, I am not saying Gomez is a world-beater, but can he really be worse than Moreno? is that even possible?!?
In any event, we've got time. Throw him in at LB and see how he does. The season starts in just a few weeks and we'll have a few games before the window closes to see if he can handle it. If he can, then we can get rid of Moreno the deadline.
