Is it harsh to ask why De Gae didn't gather that ball flicked on from the corner? It takes the same amount of time and reaction speed to bring your arms up and parry a ball away as it does to bring them up to gather a ball in, if anything it's quicker to gather it. I'd rest/drop De Gae now I really would, its lots of little things and the signs gave been there for a while that he's having one of his poor spells, Romero deserves his chance. Obviously well aware that this is the least of our problems though boys... Just trying to raise something different, like for example how the HELL can Fred be allowed any direct free kick? I feel bad knocking him because he's been one of very few positives in recent weeks but the guy can't shoot for shit, he just shouldn't be allowed to attempt shots on goal, his dreadful shooting is possibly the most consistent thing about our season so far.
Finally, I've bit my tongue on Lingard and supported him until now but oh my god how is he starting this game? Did Ole not think Pereira played by far his best game for us this season against Burnley? Dropped for a player who must surely be officially the most out of form attacking midfielder/player in the entire Premier league this season? He must be?!
I don't know who or what to blame anymore, if Ole wasn't Ole I'd be calling for him to go, I don't like the manager merry go round at all but where are we going? What are we trying to do? I know this is a shite reason for not wanting him to go but I'm just being honest, it's a real awkward one cos we just love him don't we?
Sentiment is running down quickly I fear.
