UGH. I know! It drives me nuts! I swear it's like one person makes one comment about one performance, and then it suddenly becomes the player's "thing". I think it was his first clasico where he was pulled at the half, and I'm sure some comm said something about disappearing, and now it's stuck to him like glue, despite proving them wrong over and over again. For me, it's just as annoying as the "He can't last a full 90". Honestly, he can't get subbed without the English comms I listen to bringing this up and it annoys me to death! Did you see him in the final minutes yesterday... after SUCH a vigorous game??? He was sprinting like mad, beating Jordi Alba who is super quick. He looked as fresh as the first half. But nobody talks about that. And it's not just in yesterday's game. I've noticed he's been doing this consistently this season when he does play the full 90 min. It's sometimes the final 10 minutes of the game that he's at his best. Anyways, just my personal little pet peeve. I HATE LABELS! :)
