This bloke is garbage. Never works back, can't tackle, doesn't get stuck in. Don't know what he contributes. I know he scores and assists a lot but I would flog him and get a grafter in.
He makes runs for the ball doesn't he? That's grafting. When people complain about a lack of effort they don't automatically solely mean that somebody doesn't defend, they also mean that they put little effort in during attacks
Not sure what they mean, I was commenting on Messi, who does put effort in for attacks. At Oakwell, even the Ballboys don't run for the ball!
