I love the thought that you somehow know a player better than anyone else
You argued for weeks, with me, that Candeias would feature rarely if at all this season because he lacks the quality for Gerrard to rely on him. How did that one work out?
Stop trying to deflect. You stated clearly that Gerrard telling Grezda he wants to see more is absolute proof that the 'apologists' are wrong. I merely pointed out that if anything, it is the opposite. You are the one making claims, I am merely rebutting them. Direct question for you, requiring an answer: define these 'apologists' please.
I do not quite understand why him being dropped twice is such an issue. Not one single person has said Grezda has performed for us. Given the absolutely widespread acceptance that he has been sub par, why would anyone be shocked at him missing games? Strange angle to take. Gerrard dropping him from any given squad is a sign that Gerrard did not see him as ready/fit/performing well enough in that moment and wanted better options, it is not a sign he cannot perform in the future.
This is very simple and you are taking it off track; Grezda has some talent. He has not played well for us so far. gerrard knows he has not played well for us so far. gerrard is saying exactly what your apologists are saying; Grezda is capable of better and it needs to start becoming apparent in his game.
Not one single person, at all and at any point, has said Grezda has done well so far. Several people have said he will 100% never play well. Some have said we need to wait and see because there is a player in there somewhere and maybe he will make it, maybe he will not. That is it, there are no other opinions being shared at all. I would bet a year's salary which side of that Gerrard would come down on and it is, 100%, not yours.
