Who cares? There are tons of people on this forum who support one player even when they play like shit. Just like there are plenty of people on this forum who don’t like certain players even when they do well! I’m pretty sure even vanchi would say he didn’t have a good night. No need to call her out.

yep, needs to be benched.

On his day he can be a decent player but we're now seeing his limitations with sloppy and complacent passing.

 

[jimharri]

Can't understand how he's gone from being an early contender for POTS to a championship standard player in a few weeks.

His mistake in the FA Cup final put me on notice that he is prone to major gaffs. His confidence will be shot following recent performances. Sad stuff.

 

[skillman]

Don’t forget he’s young. A blip like this was bound to happen. He’s not a leader yet and the team capitulating around him every game will make him nervy and lead to mistakes.

Still rather have him here than not. Unicorn of a footballer.

But I do think he needs a break. Especially with Salah next.

Concentration went out the window in the 2nd half.

He's still young though. Poor night definitely, but he is a good player. The squad overall just isn't in a very good state right now.

Just needs to be benched for a few weeks - regardless of his previous performances. There's no room for a player who has made 5 individual errors leading to goals in recent games. It's just damaging his confidence and those around him.

He looks broken with each new error which is really hard to watch.

From being one of our better players in the earlier part of the season, his recent mistakes have been critical to the results and he must feel as though the weight of the world is upon him.

Right now it looks as though he needs to be taken out of the firing line for his own sake.

I thought he was having a very good game until everyone's head fell off.

Just hope he isn't mentally shot to fuck.

I don't understand how he is getting blamed for the second goal - he is marking the person he is supposed to mark as the left-sided CB of a three. The ball loops over both their heads - no centre back is going to get to that, and as it drops he is blocked from getting to the ball by the attacker he is with. The problem comes with the extra man creating the overload - Nunes has failed to track him - Ederson lets the ball go between himself and the post and no one has fallen back to the line to anticipate those things might happen.

The real worry is that he is part of a defensive unit that so quickly falls apart and he - along with others does not see to be capable of putting a mistake behind him and being resilient. But overall he is a good player who needs to learn from what is happening at the moment. And he needs to learn quickly - because we can not rest him - the options are too limited.
