Dude, he is our top scorer by a margin. What else do you want him to do? Got the penalty, scored.
And he is premier league's top goal scorer too. What else is needed of him? its others who need to look at themselves. Apart from 5 games after Palace, man has been delivering the goods regularly.
I've got to second that. The same people who come here complaining ''he did nothing else'' than score and assist will be the first to complain if he has a fantastic game and does not score or assist.
Just as a reader I feel exhausted for him. He literally can't catch a break no matter how good he does.
I'm not against constructive criticism but it feels like the criticism in question is elastic and take different shapes depending on what the people throwing it need. If he scores its ''he didn't do much else'' or ''he scored but missed an easy one''. If he has a fantastic game and does not score you get the ''but we pay him to score goals''. If he has a bad game he ''never was quite like that first season and we could sell him in order to buy that or this guy''.
The adaptive criticism isn't that much of a problem as much as is the willingness of some people to completely forget their last criticism and say something completely contradictory to what they said a game or two ago despite Mo's performance being overall (emphasis on overall) quite stable this year
