Laughable, lord. If you read my post, and perhaps I wasn’t clear enough, I was entirely concerned with the ugly nature of the criticism especially as it relates to him as a human and not as a player. But as I said, I could have been clearer.
Still, there’s criticising a player for his performances, which Jesse is undoubtedly deserving of, and there’s the ugly tone it takes (for the record, it isn’t just Jesse who’s been on the receiving end of ugly criticism on here, it seems to be becoming the norm to go beyond mere analysis and inject personal venom into the critique). All our guys are obviously open to criticism - it comes with the territory of the profession. It’s just the tone that’s gotten out of hand for me.
That said, my original objection was toward the personal attacks, unrelated to Jesse’s performances on the pitch, that he so often receives from the fanbase. It’s just weird and offputting. As you said: this is a forum and that’s my opinion. Take it or leave it, we’re both in this supporting the same club at the end of the day.
