Because it’s completely over the top. We have 5 defenders against 3 attackers one who’s jwp we were in complete control on the situation. The situation with Bowen before he has so much space to run into and cuts inside which for a fast strong player like Bowen is easy to happen but we were in control . See the pic I’m sorry but you are completely over the top in that. We looked way better with Romero it’s simple factWhat happens before that? We're 2 vs the striker at the back should be no danger, he loses out on a ball he should be dealing with every day of the week, gets completely bullied and then left wrong side by 5ft midget Bowen and allows him to get the ball down, turn and pick a pass into the final third that ultimately ends in a goal, fortunate deflection(s) or not.
If that was a Dier, Davies, Emerson, et al doing that Spurs social media/forums are going in two-footed on them.
The second I'm more disappointed with tbh. He barely moves, throughout phase 1, 2, or 3 of what happens. Quite likely he wouldn't have been able to get on it, maybe just maybe though by phase 3 when the ball comes back off the post he's in a position to pinch it before JWP, or pressures him so much he puts him off, or whatever. If you don't fucking try and run back though then you'll never know. When other players/whipping boys have done that it gets clipped up, or pictorial evidence all over social media, double quick.
As I said, I just found it interesting (ie. complete double standards). All I've seen last night and this morning is muted default "great to have him back", "good game" sentiments and all that. Well to channel my inner Roy Keane... this is a senior player who was disappointing on two goals, if that's good then... well. Plenty of comments post-game bemoaning some of the usual lot (Davies, Skipp, Hojbjerg, Richarlison, etc) and how we'll never win games playing them, if we want top standards and results how about one of your stars/captains just not doing enough on two goals and calling that out.
