He's been really off it the last couple of games. Only got ourselves to blame for building him up as a saviour.

We all know he can be effective but his lack of ability on the ball or to do the basics is as destroying to our souls as it our attacks.

Thinks the problem mate, he isn’t. He’s played 80 games for us and has been probably been effective in 10

It’s like the majority of the squad, small bursts of looking half decent and people get carried away
 

Completely anonymous last night apart from firing that shot into the stand and his other shot.

He had 36 touches of the ball!

It’s just one week ago we were all crying that his 3 game suspension has sealed relegation, and we were desperate for his return to give us any hope and we’d start battering everyone. Lo and behold he has done nothing.

Couple of games on the bench for Gray and he is now the world beater that needs to come in to save us, even though he was our most ineffective player for months and was getting slammed.

Plenty of ability in the squad, but our strongest player (relatively) changes every week. No consistency. Iwobi can be our best and worst player even in the same half!

To be fair, McNeill has been our most consistent outfield performer. Never amazing, but no wild swings between good and terrible.
 
Last 30 minutes he was desperately in need of being taken off, so I am assuming Onana was in no condition to come on, which makes me question why he was even on the bench. Not sure Davies would have been that bad of an option from the bench in place of a very leggy and tired Doucoure, but hey, at least it didn't end up costing us the game. Can consider himself very unlucky not to have scored the winner mind you, their keeper was in inspired form sadly.

That bias is fascinating and we all do it
So easy to believe the player that didn't play would have been better than the one that did based on actual outcome versus imagined.
If the player that does play does better we don't even think about it much
