Blow me.
Amauri sent a nice big "fuck you" to all of his detractors today which is fantastic to see. I hope he can continue on with good form, getting the little crybabies' panties in a twist.
My panties aren't twisted, I'm happy he has finally did what we were paying him to do. I hope he can use more than his head to score because crosses like today won't be happening everyday and if using his head is the only way he can score then it's gonna be a bumpy ride for everyone.
How you can't understand the simplest stuff is beyond me Andy. I will debate with anyone who believes Alex should be dropped out of the team. I believed that he needed more playing time to regain his form and it was not like that we had fitter options than him on the bench. Nothing is wrong with that and nothing is wrong with you defending Amauri against those who bash him. But to say Bwhahahah and rubbing his good performances into the faces of those who criticized him is childish because those people were as happy as you when Amauri scored tonight.
I missed the game sadly, but as I told
Nick17(my fiercest nemesis, with Deneb in a close second) I was happy that he did well. I HOPE HE KEEPS IT UP should not be confused with not supporting him. He deserved to be criticized and for me personally I would like to see him keep it up for me to be re-convinced what he can and should be doing.
There's a difference between fair criticism and absurdity, Hoori. Much of what has been posted regarding Amauri has been the latter, not the former. We even have an example of such a post today. And even when Amauri had decent games, this thread was flooded with folks insulting the player just because they could. That's not fair criticism.
I was upset because I haven't seen a striker (and show one if there is any) that gets paid what he does and had a slump for as long as he did. I think my criticism, albeit ruthless at times, was justified and stand by it. If it takes him scoring 3 goals in two games for me to eat my own words then fuck it, I will lightly salt them with a hint of seasoning if it means my team is winning.
Both of you have some points.
Amauri did deserve criticism (but some was really unfair).
And Del Piero was praised when he did nothing, that is also true.
Such as?
a couple of good games does not erase 12 months of shit...good for you Ama, keep up the good work, but let's not get too happy and start dreaming about playing for Italy in RSA again.
Precisely.
