Now this is why we are second and not top.He is off the hook.
If we had not lost to Newcastle we would be top.
If Wolves did not score a handball goal we would be top.
If.......
Both involve goals against us. The Mehrez one was a professional footballer taking a penalty and not even getting it on target.
True.
It depends on what way it is viewed. For me he had the nerve to take the penalty - I prefer to see him step up than run away from it.
He missed but at least he stepped up for it (pity though as he is rubbish at taking penalties and Jesus would probably have scored).
Funny you should mention 'Nerve' , because that was exactly what Mahrez was lacking taking the penalty. Jesus really wanted to take it and had the ball ready to place it until he was overruled by Pep. Mahrez looked panic stricken when he started his run up.
