Obv I was trying badly to take piss out of ppl that say he is not important to our team.
The evidence would be how pissed off he was at not taking the pen (and yes, unless Rafael told him to his face he wasn't ever taking our first pen, I blame him. Its the managers job to make sure that is explicitly known, which I believe, you may not, wasn't done).
Also, I've seen him subbed before, he never reacted like that.
But yeah, I think he's our best consistent player of prem years, I've watched us from about 94 onwards, maybe we had better players (lukaku, Obv), but never over 3/4 years, we just don't do very well when he doesn't play, I get there's certain stats out there, like bale never won in his first 28 spurs games, but for me he is by far our most important player and the ppl that think we should just get rid of him are.....mad. Not just mad, I question wtf they have been watching since we signed him.
