exactly why I questioned some fans views as to his non celebration. only had 1 chance to see it, but it was right in front of me. will look again and see if I can decifer anything. :)
Your probably right. I guess we'll never know
Im still picturing the Cantona "non celebration" now. Just turned slowly around and looked into the crowd from the middle of the pitch....Brilliant
There's frustration with ALL players.
How do we answer the question of "not knowing what he is going to do at times"? IS that Jose's fault or perhaps that we are not thinking on the same level as him? Do certain players lack the necessary belief in themselves, their own abilities, that he...

Im in no way comparing the quality of the goals, just pointing out that perhaps his celebration, or lack of one, may not be quite what people are making it out to be.
It shouldn't. We are full of bang average (premier league) joe's who cannot command top quality performances out of everyone else when they cannot perform like that themselves.
I think too much is being made out of this imo. Jose is an outstanding acquisition, and the other players know that.

I have...
I'm not convinced in any way that "other players" have any right to expect him to do what they want considering we have no superstars and ALL players are guilty of giving away possession and making basic errors in most games.
Lets hope this is not the case.
100% this.
Knocky definitely does not carry the threat he did last season as teams are far better and do not allow him the time and space to hurt them. I'm not sure his "tracking back" duties are enough to warrant picking him week after week imo.
Jose is a little bit like a rough diamond...
Seems to be dividing opinions regarding his performance.
Personally, I thought he was our only real threat/outlet all game. Ok not everything he did came off, but he WAS causing problems for Stoke IMO.
I thought it was a very strange substitution bringing him off, if we had any intent on...
