There are few players in world football I'd trust in that situation(maybe 5 or so), and none of them play for our club. The press was on, almost all passes were covered, when we went back to the keeper he should have hoofed it.
Paul is a gifted player but there's no use acting like he's Busquets or Verratti or the likes because he isn't. Doesn't have the close control or agility to do that sort of stuff, so why bother with it?
It was a terrible mistake and he's to blame for it. It is a mistake we can avoid though so it's best we do that. Imo his second error was more egregious, that's just messing around being foolish however it was at a distance we can recover from.
