Gerard Houlier labelled Ginola a "criminal" for doing exactly what Eriksen did.Eriksen's free kick and Sissoko's header cannot be counted as mistakes if the KWP dealt with the ball properly, this is just over analysing for the sake of it and pointing fingers unnecessarily. Anyway it's harsh on KWP because we're talking about Dembele who still had to run 80 yards and put the ball in the back of the net but his is the level we're playing at I suppose.
Anyway my point is that calling out Eriksen and Sissoko on that goal is nonsense, if you have to point the finger at someone then it will be KWP but again it's harsh on him, I'm not a fan of attributing blame to our players unless they really deserve it, just got to applaud the goal Because Dembele had a lot to do and he took it very well.
Wrongly or rightly blame can and will be attributed at all points when conceding. Sure the fact is if KWP doesn't try to take that touch there is no goal, I'm sure it will haunt him for some time (hopefully less so knowing it didn't matter in the end) The fact we were left two on two from the free kick was the most baffling thing for me, with seemingly every set piece hitting the first man, that was pretty foolhardy.
