The problem with Gary, Scholes, Butt, etc. is that they form a perception about a player without even watching them play and then act surprised if the player turns out to be different from what they thought. They do not watch games outside the PL/major CL games or even do the basic research that most football fans do when a new player is signed. They tend to form opinions about individuals quickly, often during the transfer window, and maintain those judgments.
For example, Scholes said this when Lammens was signed:
"You buy this lad from Belgium. What's he cost? €20m (£18.2m). I think that tells you everything about him at this point. It tells me he's (Lammens) not a top goalkeeper."
Just like that, based on his cheaper transfer fee, Lammens wasn't deemed to be a top GK. No research, no watching him play, nothing.
Coming back to Sesko, every fan knew he was an uber-athlete. Everyone knew he could have chosen to pursue basketball but chose football. For Gary to be this surprised about his speed and athleticism, you understand that he never took the time to learn about Sesko. I believe we need better pundits than that.
Has Cristiano Ronaldo ever asked you why you always choose Messi ahead of him?
🎙️ Wayne Rooney: “Yes, he has. But it’s usually the Ronaldo fans who get annoyed with me for picking Messi. Cristiano himself understands that it’s my opinion, we laugh about it.”
“No offence to Onuoha, I don’t know whether he played for England or not”. Onuoha was racially abused by half a stadium whilst playing away for England U21s, which made national headlines at the time. This is why she doesn’t get work… she doesn’t have knowledge for the job!!!!!
He was losing 1-0 and instead of throwing everything to try and equalise he kept the 3-4-3 with 3 CBs. There isn’t enough words in the English dictionary to describe my hatred for this man
Pep Guardiola tonight spoke in support of Palestinians at an event held in Barcelona raising funds for Palestine. A man of class, always showing his support and standing up for what is right. Well done Pep 👏🇵🇸

I need you people to spare 4 minutes of your time and watch this again.. This was after we lost to Grimsby..
This is Ruben amorim’s legacy,
Throw the player under the bus for your deflated ego…
He still had fans after this though
Senior officials can go suck themselves, you introduce and get them minutes in cup competitions but we can’t do that because those same “senior officials”decided to keep Amorim long enough to get us knocked out of every cup, play Maguire and Licha until the end of the season
