Haji shite (4 Viewers)

[The Philosopher]

The black player lazy trope is distasteful and patently untrue. Subconscious racism.
No player that makes it to the top in elite football is lazy or gets picked in our team.
Why does Lampard consistently pick Haji? Simple, because he is a very good footballer and goalscorer, as evidenced by his goals scored. He contributes with movement to create space for other players and defensive assistance at set plays.
Haji has been an integral part of the team that is top of the league.
Every player, especially strikers go through slack periods.
Cherry picking the odd poor performance only supports the wealth of evidence that you are choosing unrepresentative events to support a spurious argument.

I’m not buying into this.

The colour of your skin shouldn’t give you an excuse to not fight for every ball and put in 100%

Haji sometimes coasts through. BTA on the other hand chases every ball. Nobody calling BTA lazy.

Cyrille was sometimes a bit lazy. I also thought Micky Quinn was lazy, he hardly chased every ball. Both great players. Both took it easy. Don’t care about the shade of their skin.

Virtue signalling to excuse Haji not putting same effort as BTA or Tats or EMC doesn’t make you some kind of white knight protecting him from the evil racists. A lot of Cov fans think he’s a great talent that needs to up his effort a bit. It’s not racist to say so.

Wright has next to no agression in his press, look at the difference between him and BTA. Doesnt make Haji any less of a top player he’s a prolific goalscorer and there isnt many I’d rather on the end of a ball in the penalty box.
Wright gets lazy connotations because he’s very casual and relaxed its a fair point its not a racial thing its a playstyle/personality thing
