There’s a few things going on that have got him to this place. His general accumulation of yellows was a structural thing for me, as he was trying to stop counters and left a bit exposed too often.Anyone saying to bin or get rid I just cant take you seriously. We are supposed to be supporters but 1 or 2 things dont go right and you instantly ditch all support and bring the pitch forks out. The same people will be crying about there is no loyalty in the game when one of our players wants to leave. Was it stupid? Yes but grow up and stop overreacting.
The dive was just a silly brain fart that he’ll probably never do again, and last night was just a little bit of bad luck when he was stretching to recover the ball. To me he pulled out of it as much as he could, but with VAR he was always gonna be punished.
We do seem to be getting things going against us this season, but as Ange says, it should build resilience long term.
