To be fair Licht was quite bit better end product then Kwadwo, who just went wide and couldn't deliver any final balls or as good off the ball runs. He had better dribbling then Licht and better technique, but couldn't really use it. Bit conservative and lacking end product. Kinda like a...

Lichtsteiner was quite bad technically and creating space or opportunities on his own. But he played with ferocious drive, was solid defensively and had clever off the ball movement that he relied heavily on. Adept finishing those off. I kinda agree he is somewhat overrated after he left us...

As funny as that sounds, in Spanish Fa law they are all pretty much obligated to have these release clauses. 20m is pretty low. You should see the random 70-100m clauses they set for certain just decent - good players. Old Valencia team used to be experts at it lol.

I get criticism to a point, but this, it's too ridicolous. Never thought I would see Cronios /Turk like post from you.

Whutafudge are you on about?

I want to get rid of him and his salary, but I do not rate Zaza AT ALL. Thats the thing. If we cant sell Llorente (which I hope we do since this summer is him at his most profitable for us), I rather keep him then get Zaza and waste 15m.

Exactly, well put my man :tup:

You were completely wrong. He is way fucking worse then you ever said.

As a target man in first half (more like first 30 mins) laying off to Tevez yes, the rest, nah, he wasnt even interested in shooting when he was in the box, poor instincts.

No I mean should be benched AND not used at all for few games, he needs to seriously get his head in order, completely off in even the most basic and need to clear his mind on the sidelines a bit.

He is so bad right now he shouldnt even be subbed in for couple of games, let alone be benched.

@Cronios

Alot of golden "I told you so" worthy posts we can taunt Lion with would be lost if thread was lost for good.

How is him playing a good or excellent performance in a future game, in any way relevant to the fact he hasnt been good at all in overall so far in the season?

Its not about finding scapegoats, he is not been good enough, its that simple, if you dont expect more then this supbar-ish non lethal approach to his game so far, then you simply think he is an average player, which he isnt. He needs to improve and become more involved as a goal threat, play...

Its almost like Llorente thinks his job starts and ends with him receiving the ball (even if its a thankless job), so utterly uninspiring tonight.

He is the opposite of a poacher (how many times have we seen a low pass or cross into the box and he isnt just there because he didnt have the foresight to run into the proper area), he lacks the instinct to sniff out chances with his positioning and his off the ball movement in the box is not...

Not just missing, his movement in the box was awful, he held up the ball well up til last 15 minutes, but in overall this guy seriously doesnt have a strikers instinct in the box as he should have.
