Barring some monumental turnaround he does need replacing, but as you say, isn’t the reason we didn’t win last night. Not sure I remember one player attracting the entire blame for results quite so regularly. Plenty of other poor performances to look at, not least TAA.
I do have a fear that he will go to Spain or Italy and become a monster for someone else. Some players just don’t click in England, especially when they arrive without the language, as it can really disrupt confidence across the board and some never recover from that.
