Martin Braithwaite shows his importance to Barcelona... again

We've been down this road before, but it’s about time some respect was put on Martin Braithwaite’s name.

He isn’t Luis Suarez. He never was. So let’s stop with the ridiculous comparisons, and let’s get over the ‘he’s not a Barca player’ argument.

Employed to do a job, by and large he goes about his business with vigour, hunger and a will to work, and he cannot be faulted for his efforts.

His shortcomings are there to be scrutinised yes, but the fascination with wanting to compare him to one of the greatest strikers of our generation is, frankly, baffling.
