In most threads you're the bad guy if you're too negative about a player and it's seen as reasonable to be very down on posters who are. See the way AL is spoken about in the Endo thread. But in the Darwin thread it's his defenders who get the tone police on them and the comments about Nunez being a 'donkey' are almost entirely ignored. What's wild about that is Darwin deserves a lot more defending because even some of his detractors (or at least those questioning his finishing ability, like Lallana and babel who, btw are doing so in a really interesting thought through way) are admitting he's doing an awful lot right and we'd probably struggle to improve upon him.
to be honest mate I think a decent amount of people wanna have decent reasoned discussions about our players, calling him a donkey doesn't tend to lend itself to reasoned debate so people are more likely not to engage. Again I dont agree with some peoples approach or delivery but on the whole I think most of us just dont like being talked down to for disagreeing. It happens around the forum as a first choice of approach too often. I once asked in the Newcastle thread about the thread title as I genuinely didn't know anything about the story and had someone jump down my throat as if i'd slandered an entire group of people, sometimes just talking to people like it is what it is (a discussion) goes a long way, if someones not been rude or an asshole or just wants to learn, talking to them like they're beneath you or stupid isn't gonna go down well. Calling Nunez a donkey is just gonna get ignored because sometimes it's not worth the hassle of disagreeing with some things, especially something so many disagree with.
Its also not a contest, we're all just discussing Nunez and the many facets of his game. There will always be opposing views but he gets plentyyyyy of support on here and seems loved among our fanbase.
For me some of the takes go a little too far but we can agree to disagree on things. I'd be interested to hear more from those discussing their takes from a statistical point of view and your opposing views on great finishers etc. It's intriguing to see from a statistics point of view the nuances between if it's deemed a thing or not. One of you seems to think it is while you seem more of the belief that it isn't
