Lets exclude the manager from this, as the manager always gets pointed out when a team doesnt win.
Eight games in and according to plenty, the club is doomed and everyone needs to be sacked and bla bla bla.
But besides the manager and the sporting director, who are we going to blame?
Some likely candidates for the Scapegoat of the Season award are starting to become evident:
Matt Ryan - goalkeepers are frequent scapegoats and Ryan is no exception. Since he had a poor game in June or July, people have been up his ass. Even yesterday, signalling that there is no chance for him to do anything right in the eyes of some people.
Dan Burn - doesnt look like a footballer and seems like a pretty nice, normal guy meaning he is obviously not cool and sexy enough for this PL top squad. Plenty of players made bad crosses yesterday, the one Burn did is the only one mentioned: obvious scapegoat indicator.
Solly March - not much complaints yet but he is always just one mistake from being lynched, so I'm including him.
Adam Webster - one of the challengers to this award last season, before people decided to accept him. Lately there's been a rise in the opinion that he is not good enough for the PL etc.. The thought "he stole Duffy's spot and I demand that there is something wrong with him" makes him a contender this year as well.
Davy Pröpper - might be off in January, but in the event that he actually makes it to the team again I think he could play like ****ing Xavi and people (including me) would hate him for not being Alzate, Bissouma or Molumby.
Neal Maupay - probably wont score 20 goals this season meaning he is utter junk and should be sent back to France.
Aaron Connolly - he is 20 years old and still not scoring dozens of goals so he is obviously garbage and need to be loaned to Preston to make room for a World Class Superstar Striker like Callum Wilson or Darius Vassell.
Who do you think will get the most shit this season? Any of these, or do you think any of the other players could challenge for the award?
