"The wannabe striker pretending to be a midfielder has spoken. He runs around in circles and fools these goofy fanboys into thinking he works hard while doing none of the things a real midfielder does. No control of tempo no line-breaking passes no scanning no manipulation of space just cardio and chaos. And somehow that passes as midfield work for this fanbase"
