Almiron

[TheOtherTerryMac]

The real understanding is, it's a team game.
We play as a team and Almiron is an integral part of the team.
He may not appear to have goals and assist in the direct sense of the words but indirectly he does contribute to the points gain, from front to midfield to back.
That in itself is phenomenal contribution.

The issue comes down to expectation of goals and assists to be seen to be done by him to sort of cap off what most believe he is capable of. I'd like to see that but I certainly don't want him out of the team because of it. He's too valuable.

What you generally find with players who don't hit the marks expected is, every error they make is magnified and scrutinised, even amid a game where 95% may have been positive contribution.

So as a forward if he goes the full season without a goal or an assist he will have been a huge success

Give ya heed a wobble man

That depends on what you deem as being a success.
If we do well and he is part of that team that does well throughout the season then I'd term all of the players who took part to be a success for what was expected or hoped for.

If we finished in a sensible position that was acceptable and it was due to Almiron managing to clear the ball off the line on many occasions that, if he hadn't done, would've lost us the games but didn't score at the other end, would that mean he was a failure or a success?

It's all about how people see it.
You don't see it that way so fair enough.
