I don't know if it's younger fans who didn't watch greats of the past or fans who've bought into the media's role in over analysing every error.
But making a mistake here or there doesn't make someone error prone. It's just a natural consequence of playing football. Unfortunately one mistake in a game seems to completely colour a players performance now.
This is a very good point that people ignore. I will give you a classic example.
Maguire is error prone / crap CB is the narrative from a portion of United fans, the same fans idolise Upamecano and wanted us to sign him. I can't say I watched alot of him but I probably watched 10 games this season, in 6 he made mistakes.
Thats not even me watching the full matches. Fans these days over rate players that do not play for this club due to social media and underrate our players.
