Chicharito’s mission impossible and bleak outlook
Asked to play one up given he’s not a line leader in a game which was always going to see us defending deep was about as bad as it could get for a goal poacher.
His failure to show a thing was no surprise and I for one found my heart going out to him in what was a hopeless mission.
He had one moment when he could have moved away from just over the halfway line and head at speed towards goal but he couldn’t quicken and the chance was gone at a stroke.
Match fitness could be blamed of course but my view is that Chicharito is facing a future as hopeless as the 90 last night.minutes he faced against Spurs.
It’s crystal that Moyes teams are all about running and athleticism which puts Little Pea at an immediate disadvantage after a spell in the Bundesliga which may have blunted his speed anyway.
He looks like a guy in the wrong place at entirely the wrong time and the arrival of a boss who had sent him out on loan at Old Trafford always looked like a killer blow.
At reported wages of around £140k a week in a set up which is entirely alien to his game it’s hard to see a way forward for the highly likeable Mexican.
Great player in the right team, great person but I reckon this one is going to end in tears in the summer.
