No that's not criticizing him at all!
If there was a worst poster of the century award Gerrhard would definitely take the honours!
Silly Stats.
Because you're being irrational.
Rational, but biased would be "Downing hasn't been good this year but there were moments of good and he's proven over his career to be very consistent. I expect next year for him to bounce back and be back to his usual ways."
You're suggesting he's been good this season, was a brilliant signing, and it's everyone's fault except Stewarts. You're also not even beginning to recognize he can't figure out how to beat a full back. He doesn't know how to wonder and find space. He doesn't know how to create match-up issues. He doesn't know how to cross the ball to an actual person. His set pieces have been dreadful. His shooting has been poor.
I find it even more amazing that you discredit Suarez while he's having to invent and create nearly everything. Every game he creates something, actually, several somethings. Downing typically gives us 1 decent chance per game. Suarez is supposed to be focused on scoring goals. Downing creating them. Suarez is left to do the job of 3-4 players.
In what way?
Downing will not come good because he is not good! ... hes an inconsistent player has been all his carer and ive said this years before he came to liverpool... He was been our worst signing by far.... i still cant get the laughs i recieved from manc and arsenal fans when they heard we bought him for 20 millionI'm boldly creating this thread now when he's had a poor season. But I believe in him. He's got great ability and when he's more used to our other players and our other players are more used to him, he will be a great asset. He's got a good cross, great pace and decent judgement. He has improved through the season and looks to be forming a good understanding with Mr Enrique. He was **** in Villa in his first season and improved drastically in the second. He may not be the best left winger we've ever had, but he will be an integral part of our team's success next year.
I'm expecting a lot of cynical comments right now, but I'm going to bump this thread in a year (I've set a reminder on my phone...) and hopefully I will be proved right.
YNWA Downing!
0 Assists
0 Goals
35 premierleague games
20million ????? Seriously ????
Hes not young... hes not got a bag of potential he is 27 the prime of his career and he is just not good enough
Wtf are you on idiot? I've never said that, I said the ENTIRE team hasn't been good enough including Downing. Also the bit about Suarez's job, if he were to do his own job which is score goals we'd be in the top 4 right now. I think you need to shut up now.
I think you're right, he'll do well at Reading.
How cute, did you cry to your mommy? You actually gave a **** what they think? Haha, what an idiot.
I think we all just have to accept the fact we were ripped off on this one.
Glad we didn't get A.Young though.
maybe you are blind
how many of them was created by the midfield

Language kid, watch it.
Quite a few, the point is he's missed them, doesn't matter who created them. And yes we do have a poor midfield, I knew we'd struggle when we let Aquilani go again and replaced him with Henderson.how many of them was created by the midfield
Thanks Dad
Are you saying Henderson isn't a good player?
He's scored 2 goals in 48 appearances - much like Downing who supposedly is good enough
Jog on!
Downing has shown far more ability than Hendo, in chance creating Downing has created about 10x more and has started less games. But again, that's not the point, we're comparing Hendo to Aquilani. Hendo isn't anywhere near Aquilani's level yet.
Don't talk to your dad like that!
Well I am sure that they portray him as being almost as good as some of them players, whereas when you watch him it is evident he is far from it.
Also where it is pretty much all that Downing does apart from the odd goal, the likes of Gerrard, Giggs, Lamps and Fabregas have much more to their game then him, these abilities include vision, passing, goals and skill all of which Downing does not really have. So if I looked at other stats containing Downing I would probably conclude that he is pretty one-dimensional.
I don't see how. In terms of passing he's one of the best in our team, tidy on the ball, quick 1-2's, passing percentage usually around 85% every game. He didn't lack goals before he came here and technically he's quite good, excellent first touch, always in control of the ball etc. Just because he doesn't have many goals and assists here doesn't mean he's bad at everything, do you actually WATCH football? Or just look at numbers after games?
I'm done talking to you FULL STOP! You obviously on these boards to get on people's nerves!
He's shown FAR more ability than Hendo and always has had more ability. His volley against Chelsea just further enhances my point.

Scary scary stuff! Gerrhard should go **** off the mancs on their forums by saying how good Johnny Evans is!
That is hilarious ...

Anymore insulting one another will result in infractions, so pack it in please.
Johnny Evans is **** you idiot.
Gerrhard and I disagree 100000% on Stewart Downing but typically agree 100000% on Aquilani and Meireles. Criminal that we actively tried to get rid of those two players.
Back on topic: I'd still sell Downing for £10-12m and look to spend that £10-12m on a wide player with more of an upside. I'd happily give Barcelona £8m for someone like Affelay for example. I also like Honda as a wide forward in stead of Downing but I have my reservations after his recent knee surgery.
Afellay hasn't played a game of football in 2 years.
Final warning!
Irony, yes I do actually watch football which is why I do not look at stats like yours....so my question to you would be do you watch football?...or just look at stats, because when I watch him he plays terribly and i'm sure has bad stats.
He did well for Villa when in good form however I do not care about what he can do if he does not actually do it, he may have some good passing but most of the passing I have seen from him is woeful, that is of course if i actually watch football...
