I think it is simple. He is largely ineffective. Lots of chances but doesn't take them. Reminds me of Michael Mifsud at Melbourne Heart in terms of not converting chances.

Surely they weren’t that unhappy about the result! Spilt beer, a loss and spew - they say bad things come in 3s. Good karma ahead.

Someone spewed on the 438X bus! It’s the cherry on the cake. Save me!

Yes, that was a controversial VAR decision!
