The great thing about football is that even if your touch and timing are off, you can still contribute to your team by simply putting in a great effort. Make more runs, close people down, bust a gut, don't bother touching the ball, but he didn't.
I say again, he looked injured.
You may well have a point - there were certainly a couple of balls you would expect him to chase that he gave up on early. Mind you is a bit nippy so I expect he was quite happy to be substituted as well

Seems more like you’re underestimating Atalanta and Red Bull Leipzig :rolleyes:

That's the one - didn't realise that about playing for Iran, that's a shame.
Some result for Leipzig last night

I agree. It's not as though he's in the team for his goal-scoring, is it. The whole point of him is he makes runs, closes people down, busts a gut and doesn't try to touch the ball too much; if he's not even doing those things, there must be more to it.

Was quite shocked to see that. Although Napoli rested quite a few and you’re asking for it when you do that against a good side.

:nod: Would've poked his nose outside the dressing room and decided, on balance, he'd be better off spending the evening toasting his toes in front of the fire in the rub-a-dub.
