Ofc they are when they are stuck into roles and positions they cant play.

I disagree. Greaseman has been tried in every position as has been equally as meh in each one. Coutinho is a CAM but we dont play with a cam see Fabregas problem so he has to adapt to playing at Cm ( he didnt't adapt and we dropped points) or be tried at LW (where he failed )

The players are responsible for their own failings.

They were MUCH better and decisive players in their former teams. Even FDJ who lighted the CL on fire last season and schooled the likes of Modric, Kroos and other top midfielders looks like a pile of shit here. The whole team is shit atm. The problem is bigger than 2-3 players.

Better than Griezmann in dribbling, speed, sprint, physical strength, movements,...
18mio vs 120mio

Best forward you have by some distance. He's actually being held back by team's poor mindset and form right now more than anyone else. Once you get on a bit of a results run he should cement his place. Then it's only up to him where on the scale of Paulinho to Pedro he will ultimately be.

Amazing what happens when you add a player that plays with some effort and runs instead of just standing in one spot.

Truly confusing if he is otherworldly or that the rest are some average players hiding behind their has-been-status. Hard to tell

He's not otherworldly. His finish seems chequered. But he's light years away from a scrub people were raging about. Just like I predicted. His ceiling is Pedro level if he stays hungry for individual success (since team success is not on the table with this side).

PS When you think about it, he's at least partially responsible for the Vinicius goal in the Clasico & hence a negative result. And while the rest of the team are out there sulking, he and Messi are focused and trying. Says a lot about the content of his character.
