Been very vocal on my opinion regarding our need to upgrade from him to have any chance of progressing, but today I find myself feeling very angry with what I’ve just watched.
Countless times today Zabarnyi, Senesi, Kerkez all put their bodies on the line to try to fight for a positive result. They could have done little more in terms of effort.
Neto had just two occasions in which he had to stand up and put his body on the line, and in both instances he took the cowards route.
When the ball is rolling in front of you like it was for the second and third goals you simply have to be brave and commanding, but everything on the line for your team. He just didn’t seem to care enough to do that.
In both instances he had a very good chance of smothering the ball had he just done what he is paid to do, but he didn’t.
That for me is him completely done now, I can take mistakes to a degree but as a fan I can’t take it when a player doesn’t show willingness to fight and put his body on the line. Get Travers in for the rest of the season, he may not be good enough but at least he’d fight for his place in the team.
Such a shame to lose a game like that.
