OK, if I concede that he was at fault for the second, do you concede that it was more than him at fault for the other two and that, therefore, regardless of your low opinion of him, he isn't solely to blame for us dropping 2 points yesterday? He's the second worst at Elland Road? Really? You watched Darlow against Boro? Yes, I do watch games and have watched them for over 50 years but perhaps I watch them with a little more analytical and less knee jerk view than some. I've never sought a scapegoat for our performances but it seems some are only happy when they can blame an individual, perhaps it consoles them to believe there's some easy magic wand way of eradicating the heartache. To me, it's irrational to blame one person for the results of a team game, but to some it's easier to say it's all his fault than look at the actual circumstances that created that "error". Actually, I said you can twist stats to suit and you did just that by claiming that a 66% save rate is garbage. Part of the reason, teams don't get a shot on target is Mesliers role as sweeper, but we'll gloss over that too. You don't like him, we get it.
