I don't think there's any lack of appreciation for Neymar's ability as a footballer. People not liking Neymar is another matter, separate from, although, exacerbated by his ability as a footballer.

The issue isn't how well he plays this season, it's how well he's playing in 18 months when he's still on £350k a week for another two years and we can't afford to buy a replacement.

They play quite high risk in possession as well so they're definitely there to be counter attacked I think. When Switzerland have tried to counter they've almost always had a man free but they've been useless at finding him...
