Goodyfc2 is infamous around these parts
Default When did "passion" become a substitute for skill?

Or more precisely, who here prefers a team of hard working cloggers who'll bawl out the National Anthem rather than technically brilliant players who don't appear especially committed?

Because it irritates me no end when it's demanded that a manager should pick a player with PASSION!! :o!! over someone who is actually far superior as a footballer.

Discuss.

It's only foreign mercenaries who lack passion iirc.

i think by passion you mean work-rate and determination. techincal ability isnt any use when the player cant be bothered to get involved when the ball isn't being given to them directly.

Though as far as technical skill or passion goes, well without putting some sort of quantative or qualative aspect on it you can't really say.

Both is best obviously.
