Since when did Diaz suddenly become a bad penny ? I can’t be the only one who thinks he’s been or done as much as anyone in Jürgen’s last hurrah, especially what he went thru personally, Ok his finishing hasn’t been the best but you can say the same for Mo, he was hardly at his best either was he, nor has Captain chaos and Jota has spent too long in the treatment room,
We’ve been spoilt f***in rotten with having Mane & Bobby for the the majority of Jürgen’s reign and those two in particular set the bar very high indeed, so anyone following in their footsteps were never gonna reach the same highs,
All this pontificating over Anthony Gordon is folly to me, in fact I’d argue Diaz is better, a bit older granted but would Gordon offer more than what Diaz can ? I don’t think so, we also have to think about the mentality of the players last season when Jürgen dropped his bombshell, we were never the same after that imo, and instead of the fire in the belly we all thought we’d get actually had a adverse effect, two matches in particular highlighted it, the one against the cup Vs Scumsters and when Blueshite killed off our title aspirations,
Some of us labelled Arse as bottlers, but we f***in bottled it in that match, and proved to me the players weren’t up to it, we were only five points adrift at that juncture and had we won it we’d have provided a much needed boost for the last few games, instead it killed our hopes stone f***in dead, and that was the end of that !!
Anthony Gordon, no thanks decent player of course, but he’s not an improvement of what we already have ??
