Brian Brobbey epitomises everything that is wrong with modern day football.
I grew up watching players defined by elegance and intelligence on the ball: the likes of Thierry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp, Dimitar Berbatov, Alan Shearer, Robin Van Persie, Andy Cole and Sergio Aguero. They made the game feel like an art form as much as a sport.
Now I have to watch lumps like Brobbey who has nothing more than physicality to his game. He plays like a WWE wrestler, not a Premier League footballer. Itโs effective sure, but boy is it painful to watch.
Itโs the sad reality of where our beautiful game has gone. And itโs why players with more natural talent and technical quality like Nick Woltemade are struggling.
Brian Brobbey is the face of this new era and itโs painfully sad.
Newcastle fans now saying Alexander Isak downed tools last season on the pitch, as he didn't want them to qualify for the Champions League.
An absolutely generational head loss, I'm sure we'd all agree.
