Ok the guy is not the same as he was once and will never will be but has he been so terrible? I am just talking about this season and it seems to me that he has in fact scored very important goals for us this season.
i mean we drew 2-2 in prelim fo cl to an unknown Swedish club but in the return against them, he calmed our nerves by getting al important first goal, he scored the first goal against Roma when Roma was on top, scored first and winning goal against Lecce which gave us 3 points, first goal against Sampdoria albeit via penalty, goals that got us 3 points against Siena
The first goal against Livorno which set us on ur way and this is the league
In Cl, he scored the goal that gave us all 3 points against Bayern, the goal which gave saved our faces against Maccaabi and thats 4 points instead of 1 but somehow he gets so much stick for who he was
Zlatan get so much praise for not realy scoring enuff goals but providing so called assists and lets face it becos he is new,I mean he plays practicaly 90 mins in all games and that gives him ample time to remedy a bad performance with a goal but Dp is not afforded such luxury is he now? while Trez is supposed to do nothing for 90 mins but score a goal and everything is fine but Dp is not allowed to do either, he in his bashers eyes should do both
He has to score and also set up people and be the best every time we play, other wise he is a waste of space
Talk about multiple standards.
Mutu, ah yes, the great hope, someone who went 17 games without scoring in a league which is supposedly very easy to score goals as the defending is atrocious, played well in Parma but how many ppl actually flop at Parma? Was a flop at Inter but his supporters will tell you he was not really given a chance but he was at Chelsea another big club going for the ultimate prize but what does he do, he starts to take cocaine becasue things were not going his way.
I am not sure about his international record but i bet that aint great either
Yes Dp has been moddlycuddled by Juve, but he like Raul have deserved it and they get their detractors but they still keep on scoring, might be less frequent than they used to but they do pop with the important goals here and there
And of cos , fans will always buy their shirts and close to their eyes to their shortcomings and thats part of their appeal whether you like it or not
