Gakpo is a bit shit for Liverpool tbh. Grealish is for City, Sancho and Antony for us.
I wonder is it harder to be a wide player now?
Anthony has been alright. He's been far better than our other wingers when they first joined our first team.
Sancho has been shit.
I’m worried that Sancho is just another Mata. Very talented, excellent passer, but just doesn’t have the speed and athleticism to beat a man, so he has to hang around outside the opposition defence, knocking it about, or nicking the odd goal by drifting unnoticed.
Mata was completely useless for us. Sancho offers more and Sancho has himself been shit.
Moyes bought Mata when he was predominantly a right winger for Chelsea and he played there for us too for a few years. Dude had no pace but that was a known limitation.
Mata is the personification of the "almost" player.
He was almost a good passer, but he didn't create enough because his forward passes weren't good enough and therefore he lost possession. Bruno loses possession too when he makes the ambitious passes but he does pull off some brilliant balls.
Mata's shots almost hit the target but he consistently missed them. His shots lacked both speed and accuracy.
He couldn't dribble, had no pace so he was useless in the counter and he didn't offer anything defensively. Even Rashford offers more in defence.
The only thing he was world class in was to apologise in social media minutes after the team lost a game.
Another club legend.
