I'm with Baz, but I wish he would cut out the diving and moaning.

How dare you Vladimir

Ive alwas said that when he is good he is ver very good, but when he is bad he is horrid! He has no middle ground and this usually happens when we set the team to go through him. One credit we can give Amorim is putting him in midfield, putting more responsibility in being safer with the ball. Reduced the hero ball tendency which is his real flaw.

Hes going to be 30 soon and that drop off will look like it came from nowhere. We should sell him before that. Being afraid of not getting someone at his level has always been our excuse to keep players pass their sell by date. This has regularly affected the maintenance of our higher levels. Our examples are too man to mention

Why would you want to sell your best player?

He's literally our best player.

Sell him and next season we will be fighting relegation as we won’t sign anyone close to his output levels and the current players can barely get 5 goals between them a season. You only sell such players when you know you have world class younger talent as well, like we did to Ruud. But we have ample talent back then. Now we have nothing and are broke.

Can't be bothered to create an article about it, and this is about a Portuguese player so...

Denmark 1-0 Portugal last night. Ronaldo played 90 minutes. Hojlund came on for the final 20 minutes, and scored the game's only goal. A sign that his confidence is coming back? He also did a cheeky 'Siu' celebration in front of Cristiano.

I can confirm that this is accurate. Even the Portuguese joke about it (before then moaning about it).

In all seriousness, data continually demonstrates that the Portuguese actually have it much, much better than they believe. Their perceptions of their relative quality of life across metrics are absolutely terrible versus what data shows to be the case. Talk to any given Portuguese person and they’ll tell you that corruption across the country is rife (demonstrably false), that their healthcare system is atrocious (it’s excellent), and that they pay higher taxes than any other nation in Europe (not even remotely close).

Why this is I am yet to fathom. It’s cultural, and personally I find it quite amusing, but the root of it I could only guess at.

Rosso, I wonder if there are stats ranking countries by size of disparity between quality of life and perception of quality of life. I guess most developed countries are have a widespread issue with perceived problems being greater than realities (level of crime; number of people on benefits; net impact of immigration combined with + perceived scale of immigration, etc). Germany would surely give Portugal a run for its money.

And I wonder whether happiness (reported today that Finland tops this statistic for the seventh year running) correlate more closely with quality of life or with accuracy of perception of quality.

Yep, interesting. And I probably only posted the above having been reminded this very morning of this strange Portuguese phenomenon by the World Happiness Report.

Portugal is, unsurprisingly, well outside the top 50, below the likes of Bosnia, Vietnam and Uzbekistan.

I’d like to see an experiment run where the most miserable of my neighbours are sent to live and work in any of, for example, those three countries above for six months. Then they can come home and decide whether they’d like to re-evaluate their assessments of their circumstances…

They'd surely come back moan about the fact that they were sent to those countries.
