The more you learn about life and everything therein like football, you realize that what you put in is what you get out.
Here is a quote from Stewart Downing that just encapsulates the attitude of many of some our supposed best yard players. Not quite a perfect quote but the heart of it is looking at this guys production relative to what he is saying, he had zero goals and zero assists for last season. He is a football player, a professional football player and he is talking about tackling and running as something foreign, something which he is just way above that level of actually being out of breath, somebody please get this guy a golf cart or better yet an armchair and set it in the middle of the pitch so he can orchestrate the game from his immobile position showing all the bravery in not doing the things that are the most fundamental to football. I saw this youth play for Middlesbrough back in the day and he was actually really good, had 5 goals and 11 assists in 04-05 season for Middlesbrough, but seems his mind has tanked since, this youth had the potential to be England's foremost midfielder but this is anedda case where talent and hard work are not on equal footing in the players mind thus saying things like this and having nothing to back it up, total waste of time.
Here is Downing's take on things, while getting paid big money,this guy should be sacked.
‘Bravery is a lot of things,’ he said. ‘If you want tackling, running around bustling, that obviously is not my game. But bravery is also taking the ball when you are losing a game and creating things, which I try to do.
Sorry X I saw that in your piece and was just astonished that a guy like Downing could actually have that come out of his mouth and have no production to even back up that kind of waste of time talking.
