“I mean, he used to play for one of the most disciplined teams in Europe in Atletico Madrid. He’s a holding midfielder, he should see danger.

“He got back into position, he’s got a man there but you can’t leave him like that. Playing like that doesn’t win you the league. It’s unbelievable what he’s done. “

He’s just got to mark him. You’re fighting for the league, you have to do your job and he let it go. You’re not going to see a worse goal conceded this weekend.”
