"If we keep this up, we'll be fighting relegation."

This is what Griezmann said not long after the second draw of Atletico Madrid against another recently promoted team. He also went and said the following:

"We need to wake up, keep working and get back to being ourselves as soon as possible."

His team mate and manager didn't take long to react, Simeone called him to say that it was a unacessary declaration while Saul made a interview in wich he said something along the line of:

"Griezmann needs to think about what he says."

His other team mate, Koke chose to take his defence instead and explained that he thought that Griezman wasn't completely wrong.

Now we all know that relegation for Atletico Madrid is very unlikely, but we cannot argue that the two first results of the season doesn't bode well for them. So here is the question of this thread, who is right, Griezmann, who think Atletico need to wake up and up their game or Simeone and Saul who think Griezmann made a unnecessary comments?
May the debate begin!

@tiki So you propose they drop Rooney and make Griezmann play behind the main striker, I like how you think. In the future, the three best player of Manchester United could well be French player. This is a pretty exciting thought, isn't? :D

@Emobot, lol, Depay isn't that good? I can't catch up with all PL matches at all, from I what I heard he was good and I feel he will be amazing in future... ^^

@Croatian Lets just say he had a though time adapting to the PL, that and his attitude doesn't help him too much. Doesn't take his potential away but I feel like he need to be a bit more mature before being in the starting eleven for most game. Right now, I believe Martial is much more likely to start game than Depay. Just to be sure, I would Sun to confim what I just said but from what I remember, he was a bit of a dissapointment last year.

@Emobot7 He was a disappointment. When you're coming in to United with the tag of the best player of Eredivisie and so much expectation - either you perform, or show people that your work rate is high. Sadly, his work rate was not admirable. He seldom tracked back to defend and didn't perform scoring-wise too. He has potential, I agree, and he showed that in flashes too (The Club Brugge game for example), but he simply wasn't worth the money.

@Saatvik As I thought. I remember the club Brugge game though, I watched it with Sun, we were excited as fuck. But to be sincere, its too bad he can only perform well agains such team that they rarely even play against. Hope he mature quickly but for now, I don't expect him to play over Martial a lot. Also, thats one of the biggest difference between him and Martial, Martial is more mature and humble while Depay is hot-headed and isn't as realist as he should be.

Happened yesterday, fastest excecution on par with Messi's, And the vision is there too...

@tiki What a pass, Griezman is gonna become one hell of a football in the future. France future look bright if they can manage to get a consistent striker who doesn't waste beauty like that. ;)
