Losing My Patience With Paqueta

Sorry if it causes offence but I've had it with this bloke.  Sunday's performance was the best he's produced for a bloody long time imo but, right at the death, when an unlikely but deserved point was there for the taking he gets brushed in the back, falls over like a tart who's sunk too many G and T's and from the resulting corner the deserved point goes down the flusher.

Waits for 2 left feet to accuse him of being a Spurs fan!

Have you been watching the games all season.  When was the last time Paqueta played anywhere nearly as well as he did on Sunday ?  And then he goes and spoils his perfomance by playing the pussy and falling over. FFS.

I'll be sure to let him know.

But, I'd say it's always been the way with 'flair' players...strengths and weaknesses.  If you want a robust tough tackling midfielder, then you have to compromise on the creativity.

If you want a guy who 'does it all' then you have to pay a huge sum of money (if you can even get a player like that).

Once Potter took off Soler, and moved Paqueta back....this was the risk he was running with Paqueta deeper.  You wouldn't blame a centre back because their finishing is shit.  We shouldn't blame this player for something tha isn't his strength.  With contact he goes down on instinct to win a free kick...it's instantaneous and conditioned...not a conscious decision in the moment.

Don't disagree with you.  But imo he spoilt his performance with that stupid bit of hystrionics at the death. And it cost us a point.

" so called "

Brazilian international with 55 caps, would have joined Man City for £85m + had it not been for the betting allegations but yes a " so called star player "

Is Richarlison a " so called star player " ?

Why so ?  Do you disagree that Paqueta spoilt an otherwise good performance, his first for bloody ages imo, by falling over instead of staying strong and shielding the ball. ?

Watched the game with a Man U fan. He was gobsmacked when that push wasn't punished.

He is so hit and miss in my opinion.

He was the best player on the pitch for large spells.
