Taking his quality or lack thereof aside, has there been a bigger shithouse of a player for us than Pereira in recent years. He spends half the game giving away freekicks by lunging into tackles or just kicking the heels of players. To make it worse he seems to have no form of sportsmanship at all, he almost always ignores handshakes from fellow pros and looks to pick fights after ignoring them.
Onto his actual quality, he is a nothing player. Good shot and set pieces but he is a total liability on and off the ball. Has zero positional sense, careless with the ball and most importantly a foul machine who is terrible in defensive phases of play.
His contract extension was an embarrassment and if we are relying on him to be a valuable member of our midfield we are fecked.
