Alot of people being critical of Darwin are going to look very silly.

Only if they’re 1) talking in absolute terms, saying he would never be any good and 2) Darwin evolves (somebody neg that, immediately) into a significantly better player. At times he has gone full Benteke. Acknowledging that, as of now, he often displays a really bad touch, poor shot, and dodgy game-brain to the point where he sometimes looks like a soccer aid YouTuber giving football a go for charity isn’t looking stupid, because at times - at times - that’s just how he looks. It’s acknowledging what’s in front of our eyes. If people deny that then they’re denying reality, IMO.
 

On the other hand, If people can’t also acknowledge that he’s basically a young kid, in a new team, and new country, and different system, still learning his trade, and at other times looks far from the donkey he is being made out, but rather somebody with a lot of raw potential, power, and pace who could end up being drogba-level good and generally looks unplayable, then it’s because they’re biased against the lad. Because at times you go ‘fucking hell, he’s like a wrecking ball’ who just makes defences look like they’re playing tennis in cricket nets with a badminton racket. To say they can’t handle him is an understatement. To say he can’t handle himself sometimes is also just obvious.

Some people would rather him miss so they can pat themselves on the back rather than us win. Fans my arse

The people comparing him to Messi and Suarez are more likely to ‘look very silly’. 

Personally, even taking into account the mitigations in NV’s post, I don’t think he’ll become a goal scoring great. 

 

It’s just an opinion based on what has been presented from a technique perspective, and how previous players with these issues have fared in my match watching experience.  
 

Ultimately we’ll see. One of us will be right and one wrong

I do wonder if folks that slag any of our players off (Keita included) also sing YNWA with gusto, pride and passion. 
Seems to be a bit of a contradiction there if they do. 
I'd back any off our players no matter how crap they are as I always want the team to succeed.  Once a player is sold/left the club then they're fair game but not whilst they are wearing our jersey.

Some people are so desperate to be right that they do. I’m just speaking facts. We’ve got a lot of jarg supporters.

Liverpool players are above criticism? On a football forum? In a thread specifically asking for opinion?

 

Tish and pish, Blackadder.

There's opinion and there's blind hatred for (a) player(s).  And I thought we all took the words to our anthem seriously...

Who hates him (other than Daisy who hates everything)?

 

On a spectrum of Daisy at one end and Bjornebye at the other everyone else seems to be either right or left of centre in their opinion of him.

Took about 14 minutes for my point to

 Be proven. I fucking hate some of our jarg fans. Rats 

[Jennings]

On the assumption that the proof came in this thread, the inference is that either (or both) @TD_LFC or I are rats and jarg fans. 
 

Somewhat harsh on @TD_LFC.

I don't think anybody is saying he'll be Suarez or Messi,that is silly. It's easy to see his benefit to the team already though and if you deny that you aren't watching the same team as me.
