He wasn't. Our loss had little to do with him. But he is an easy target. It matters little that we created nothing, that our attacking was limp. Our passing sluggish and our press non-existent.
It just feels good to pick on the one or two guys they predicted sucked. It matters not that Danilo was no better than Walker, that John and Eric have lost solidity, that Ederson's positioning is a bit suspect of late, that Delph hasn't been a better defender than Zee, that Debryune addition didn't create the expected or predicted uptick in chances, that Sane's limp header wasn't good enough. Nor we're his runs and movement. That our overall movement is stagnant, that Aguero looked like a chubby Gabby from 2 months ago. That Sterling looks uninterested, that Dave's inclusion made no difference.
None of these facts matter. Facts don't matter to the feelings folk. Now the cry is that only if we had "Fernandihno! He is the key" Like Perreira and Townsend crackers wouldn't have gone in if Fernandihno was there. Like he wasn't there when we were being breached by Lyon and Hoffenheim.
It's just silly fans having a hard time coming to terms with the fact that we are in a funk. So they lash out at their favorite boo boys.
Get it into your heads, we are struggling! Across the board, and we need to right the ship. Or we could be in 5 the by January 4th. :(
Pep needs to fix this. Get back to basic and get working.
