At one point, probably when Jose was still here I’d have said it was justified criticism, but now it’s just ridiculous.
It’s one thing to slate the guy when he plays and doesn’t perform for us, but to sit there and say he’s a problem in the dressing room whilst saying clubs would be better off with Milner, Henderson and Adam fecking Lallana (sensing a theme) then it’s clear the criticism has gone well over the top.
He’s not even been playing, he’s been injured, came back for a couple of matches and played really well before getting injured again, it’s hard to pin this poor season down to him.
Or, at least, we can’t slate him as a player, and then say Ole is struggling because of injuries and mention Pogba as a player that’s missed.
It was similar with Jose in a way though, the pundits followed him like vultures when he was with us, then he goes to Tottenham and he’s a hero again without doing anything, it’s embarrassing.
