I read and hear a lot of praises for this guy, he is world class, he is gifted, he is this he is that. But I fail to see it on the pitch, surely I can see why Bale, Gomes, Dawson, Pav, Bassong, King, Pallacious, Ekoto, Corluca, etc. every spurs player is considered top class and some of the even world class, but when it comes to Modric I can't do it. WTF?!?
And here is why
His long range passing, the one he is supposed to have as a CM - SUCKS. In those few sorry attempts of his he is either short or way off.
He can't tackle.
He can't supply our strikers and wingers with clever thru balls.
He can't play fast fotty and he always seems to need good 5 seconds to make a decision?
He often can't stay on his feet while making that decision and not allow the opposition players to brush him aside or even toss him around like a rag doll.
He seems to have the habit of carrying the ball to a teammate instead of just passing it.
He can't read the game very well, especially defensively.
He can't do anything more than the occasional nutmeg.
His first touch on easy balls often sucks.
His shooting at the goal sucks.
Yesterday and especially against Arsenal for the most part I thought we have 10 players on the field and one bystander.
....
I can go on and on and on.
And the worst of all his head is getting fucking big. Yesterday during the little brawl we had in the middle of the game Gomes came in and tried to play the role of a peace-keeper by trying to separate our hotheads away from the Chelsea players and Modric got mad at him.
