Starting to think Bilic wasn't far off the mark when he made a little comment about AC needing to be more professional on and off the pitch if he wants to extend himself to be a great footballer. I do think we need to move him on ASAP though I just do not think he has the bottle himself to keep going I think injuries have affected him big time mentally to the point that I think he has given up hope on himself in making it. I don't think he has the hunger anymore.
Bilic has been playing AC up in the last week, telling the world he loves him "and all that".......
There's a reason for that, this is the 3rd (4th) season on the bounce that the boy has suffered a long term injury, even after a decent pre-season, he picks up an injury that nobody knew he had, he didn't come off during the game and it didn't present itself until the next day. He's trying to lift his spirits.
Bilic is only repeating what big bad SA said about AC, also think you're very close regarding AC's current "attitude" Yeold, which is hardly surprising, because rehab is absolutely soul destroying and mentally challenging most of the time, especially when you have to do it year after year after year. It's not about "bottle".
The club are into damage limitation now with various issues......AC, Sakho and the Arbeloa incident.

Perhaps Bilic needs to get armed at training from now on with a shoot to kill policy
if he doesn't get fit quick enough ;lol
Don't shoot the messenger.....
(Bike or no bike)
Club have done their usual "number" on one of his injuries for fear of a fan backlash

Hence no injury updates after reported "knock"
