Life's tough, you've got to face reality sometimes.
but its totally stupid.

You could say that about so many things though. If only Benatia hadn't been a clown the first few months, if only Higuain was scoring, if only Khedira wasn't shit, if only we had better fitness staff.

unfair to narrow it down to him missing a penalty. If anything is responsible for our current position it has to be poor fitness and injuries

He missed 2 penalties in 2 consecutive games.

Way different to saying if only someone made a tackle or scored a header. Penalties are clear cut easy no brainer goal scoring opportunities.

I'm stating facts, not emotions or wild what ifs.

We're aware of reality, the player is also aware of reality, how one react to that is key. But ripping into a player especially as vital as Dybala does no good, it's almost as wishing him to fail, it's toxic. One can point out and criticize but there's some limit.

I can get one being annoyed, but vent your frustration in other ways

Those were games against very inferior opposition which we should have won regardless of a missed penalty. Maybe we shouldn't have conceded all the goals we conceded in those games too

my point is its unfair to narrow it down to the missed penalties when so much went wrong
