His own goal didnt make a difference to the result. Anyone can make a mistake so I won't be too harsh on him for that but what I don't understand is why he wasn't brave enough to take the ball forward and pass to the player on the right. Instead he picked the easy pass to take the ball backwards and kill off any momentum. You're chasing the game in the last minute and instead of pushing on he just plays conservative. It's that kind of mindset that limits his ceiling.
I genuinly think it was more difficult to make a pass backwards than go with the momentum of the ball moving forward already and bring it forward and give if off to the player further ahead of him and carry the ball forward.
I seem to recall there was a player running at him and attempting to block that pass out to the right.
He had a poor game overall which was already impacting him mentally - He then didn’t want the ball, he wasn’t ready for it, he panicked when it was coming to him, had a brain fart and didn’t know what to do with it.
Sure, not valid reasons for a top flight footballer but it was the last minute, didn’t have an impact on the game and we can’t exactly say we have a team full of players that do not regularly make basic errors.
