He's our most tactically intelligent midfielder by a massive distance. He had accumulated way too many miles on the clock this time three years ago. We thought nah fuck it, it'll be fine, and ran him into the fucking ground for three more years. It's a miracle he's still around and able to play at all.
Did you not notice in preseason, when he played, then we played him the next fucking game in the other friendly. We played the motherfucker twice in two days. He's utterly blameless. The guy deserves a fucking apology from the club.
