Raskin’s form has split the support, and this isn’t just moaning for the sake of it. The point is simple: when someone is supposed to be among your best players they need to produce consistently. If they don’t, the whole team feels it.
Where Raskin stands
To be fair, there have been flashes from him — the odd game where he looks right up for it. But too often those are islands in a sea of average. Supporters talk about sulking when things aren’t going his way, falling out with managers and moments where the midfield hasn’t been protected. Whether you blame attitude or concentration, the result is the same: big gaps in performances.
Why consistency matters in a title run
Title races aren’t won by potential. They’re won by players turning up night after night, dealing with pressure and taking responsibility when things go wrong. If fans accept that a player is our best then that player should also take the lion’s share of the criticism when they underperform. It’s unfair to pick on some squad members while letting others skate free because they carry a reputation.
Being honest, not tribal
Complaints about rewriting history ring true in some threads — comparing present performances to what players did in other spells can cloud judgement. People bring up Lundstram’s form or Aasgaard as benchmarks, and that’s fine. The issue is whether we judge Raskin on how he’s actually played for us this season, not on a name or what might have been. If his levels dip and the side struggles, that has to be part of the conversation.
At the end of the day I want the honest debate. If Raskin is the best we’ve got, he should be the first to wear the criticism when things go wrong. If not, say so. But don’t pretend inconsistency is a minor annoyance when it can decide a title.
