Rather weak argument when you focus on data in a particular competition, but exclude the games where Mudryk didn't have any goals or assists  🙂 

I've compared games they both played in against the same opposition, the most relevant information available. 😀

Only fair to include the Premier League games under Potter and Lampard then ! LOL

Sure thing! 22/23 season as follows: 

Mudryk 748 minutes - 0 goals 2 assists. G/A every 374 mins. 

Felix 1,187 minutes - 4 goals 0 assists (where are these mythical passes that Jim speaks of???). G/A every 296 minutes.

You'd think the £120m wonder kid that's played multiple seasons at the highest level would wipe the floor with the kid with two left feet and no footballing education. Even more daming when you realise that more than half of Mudryk's PL games were coming on off the bench, while Felix started 65% of his games. 

We're comparing sh*t to sh*t.

Parking the statistical G/A sword play for a moment, the Sofascore ratings say they have been our best two players in the Conference League to date, so let's hope it doesn't bite us in the arse in the knockouts that neither of them are now available !

 

For all the stats in the world - it is madness that anyone believes Mudryk and Jackson are better footballers than Felix. 

1 (Felix) is a player who can control the ball, has vision and can pick a pass -  the other 2 are hopeless.

Maybe if he had bothered to do that then he would be in our team. 

Also, comparing him and Jackson is like decided which is worse, standing in dog sh*t or horse sh*t.

🤔I wonder if BBC Footy Gossip utilizes the same principle ?

I definitely prefer to stand in horse sh*t.... Makes me feel like countryside gentry what what what... 

Honestly, felix got little to no game time, no problem with that as he didnt set the pitch on fire when he was on it. 

 

If he turns it around and demolishes Serie A then brilliant. Fingers crossed for him, I really hope he proves us all wrong and becomes the superstar he is in his and some of our fans heads. 

I dont see it and wish him nothing but the best. Thanks for choosing us Joao... Sory the club is in the state it is. Good luck finding a home for your talent and performing consistently. 

(he'll be back in four months)

Joao Felix è tanto bello quanto inutile

Didn't take them long to realise he's useless

Felix's ability to consistently take the wrong option despite apparently being a "technical" player is truly transcendent. He is like a freestyle footballer trying to play professionally - great technique on paper, completely unable to use it on a field with actual humans.

This is how I describe him to others, could have sworn I said the same thing earlier in this thread but did a quick search and seems you beat me to it.

Won’t be surprised if they cancel the loan very soon. Irony was he was bought as an alternative/upgrade to the often injured RLC, and was meant to propel them to a deep run in the CL & help qualify for next year but he has been awful.

They were thinking of loaning again next season with an obligation to buy for €40m, but I reckon that is off the table.

Shame he'll be back with us in the summer... Shame we got rid of Connor for this... This one deal is why I dont wantthe cartel cash and fat pig American venture capitalists near this club. they will find a way to sell the ground... we wont have a club left. Scum

Seems very convenient to blame Felix for AC Milan having a sh*t season, which was the case before he arrived, and continues now.

They've lost their last two Serie A games, and Felix wasn't even on the pitch when they conceded the winning goal in both cases ....

Obviously some bad voodoo from the bench!

We'll get him back in the summer. Prepare for 2 fairly okay performances in pre-season, a promising a third coming, then back to anonimity and a loan to the Turkish equivalent of Wycombe Wanderers.

He is a rolls royce.... bring him back. We love you Joao... well, some of us do!

I don't believe from what I've seen the fans are blaming him per say. It's just he's made an already bad situation even worse. A bit like us playing Nukuku over Jackson or Sanchez over Jorgsen.

As has been stated many times, Felix never really got a chance under Maresca. He was not played or used properly. Maresca should have used Felix more and rested Palmer. But Maresca has never been good with player management or using subs effectively. So the problem now is that we do not have Felix and Palmer is looking knackered and we are going to have to rely upon Dewsberry-Hall for creativity. This is an obvious error on behalf of Enzo Maresca.

Always make me laugh when folks think that our dubious and disgusting owners are just trying to make money player-trading. I mean, come on, 30 million quid for Dewsberry-Hall, forty million for Felix and 60+ million for the 'accidental junky' Mudryck.

Honestly this is one of the very few things I would give Maresca a pat on the back for. He didn't bow down to Jorge Mendes and I assume the board's pressure to play Felix.

The issue isn't that he didn't use Felix, we already know what he offers which is nothing, it's that he didn't use the likes of Carney and Nkunku.

That is a very big assumption and doesn't really have any place in reality. The board were applying pressure on Enzo to play Felix? Extremely unlikely. The board just loaned Felix out to Milan. Enzo was under no pressure whatsoever to play Felix.

Agreed he didn't use Carney or Nkunku. Enzo then criticised Palmer for his poor performances and played Dewsberry-Hall. Which is all rather sloppy player management.
