Right aside from the fact we're top, having not got out of second gear, and having had 4 real poor second half displays in a row I want to get onto the negativity all of a sudden thrown at Aspas.
Can understand people criticising him to a point, as long as its constructive, but the reaction on here and twitter suggests he's scored a couple of own goals, missed 17 taps ins and is the blame for global warming.
4 games into the PL and a lot have wrote him off? He was never going to be a world beater granted, but at least give him a season, especially when, like tonight, he played out of position in a time where no player was doing particularly well.
Give him a break, judge him come May
Give him a break..

I was in Magaluf at the start of July with friends, woke up one morning and I couldn't move my arm at an angle at all. Turned out I had somehow done a little shoulder ligament damage which moved my collar bone out of place, painful and it took about 4-5 weeks to recover also. Hope it's not that bad for his and our sake.

Anyone hear anymore on this?

BR said it was just a bruise, but a sore one.

After the roughing up swansea gave coutinho, I'm not surprised that aspas didn't fancy a tackle.
I think it was that spell that changed the game, swansea turned into a bit of a stoke, lucas and shelvey having that spat, things went belly up from there. United were having a pop at coutinho last week too.
Forced substitutions don't help when you want to try and change a game.

Not good but like someone were saying not that bad. Disapointed @ losing the lead and how in the 2nd half of games we toil off we really need to improve.

We were getting bullied in games last season.
This season Man Utd and now Swansea have tried to bully us, and though Swansea did to an extent, what's important was we didn't lose.
That toughness was lacking last season but we have added a bit more power and mentality to the team.
We are getting better against teams who get physical to stop us playing and that was out main weakness last season.
As for Aspas, anyone judging him after 4 games is an idiot. He is a relatively inexperienced player anyway, and is now at a big club with big pressure. Although he is older its very similar to the Lucas, Hendo scenario.
He needs time to find his feet. He might never find them, but judging him after 4 appearances sure isn't going to help.

I've been away for the last month, come back, we're top of the league, 10 out of 12 points, and what do I see on here? Moaning and the crowning of the new 'Lucas'. Give Aspas a break for christs sake. He's a new player in a new league, having to adjust to a completely different style and pace of a game. I read a comment that Moses has come in and looks miles better than Aspas. Do people think Moses has been plucked from the Outer Mongolia League? He's played his whole career in this country, of course he's going to find it easier settling in than Aspas.
I'm sure some of you are Arsenal fans with alter egos. Cause that's how you're coming across. Get a grip

Aspas has one problem, lack of strenth - I don't think this will be solved with gym work either.
Other than that I like him, but I find it tough seeing how he will work in our league!

aspas was just not able to get to the speed of thought or pace of the game. he needed to get in front and draw fouls at least. he just was second to everything and his best contribution was winning a throw.
yes give him time but we must see that when suarez is back in this guy is going to the the off the bench option at best and it'll be very hard for him to pick up the pace of the prem.... can see him being a euro option... but... no europe.
