Because neutral commentators want open games. They want us to lose 3-2 and pat us on the back for being “brave”, but then criticize our “maturity” when we don’t win things

I’m especially curious about his LWB minutes and how overlappy he can be. Excited!

That might be tied to the amount time we’ve spent with 10 men

Mikel’s comments this month were pretty clear, he wanted players. I wonder what this window means for Ayto given Mikel seemed to previously endorse him for the role

Most important thing about this is that an 18 yr old with a massive future now doesnt get typecast by refs and media as “aggressive” or “dirty”. Reputations are molded early, and are really hard to change as we know

With such young players, we can't really bet on all of them coming good. The more we collect the better!

With a media that is so obsessed with covering the reaction to things, rather than the things themselves, it's not surprising that the narrative is "look how people are freaking out about this!" and "are they right to be angry about this?" rather than "ELON LIKES NAZIS. THIS IS WHY THATS BAD"
