Happy to agree to disagree. Time will tell. Meanwhile I get to be on the side of it where I think the United player is good and I like watching him, which is always where I prefer to be as a United fan.
Well we’d all love to be on that side, with every player, always - however, the reality is that our players are not always good enough. And when they are not, I want them out, not because I am not a proper fan, but because I romantically wish for no flaws at all and would prefer that player is quickly replaced by someone good enough.
Of course, nothing personal against Antony, and yea - he’s a United player, but so would the hypothetical more useful right winger I want to replace him be. I’m not wishing Mo Salah scores more goals for Liverpool due to my frustrations. We can say what we want, but the fact is, the one we have is not as useful as Salah, Saka, Silva etc, so I don’t see the point of defending the position of our less good player when the idea should be to improve upon him.
Of course, if you think he’s simply good enough and happy with what he’s producing then fair enough, I agree to disagree. But if you don’t, I see no point in any sort of spin. We all support the club the same, and in fact, I see the championing of below standard players as being less supportive of the club than wanting them out anyway. It may appear to prove fan loyalty, but it doesn’t serve us that our player isn’t as good as Saka, Salah, Silva.
