That's because those 20 touches, 8 marks and 3 goals people are disregarding had us far enough in front, meaning we won. If he hadn't stuffed a couple of things up those figures become even bigger. See, even a positive side to that. If he just stuffs up, is lazy, doesn't get the ball or kick goals then he gets dropped, as those are the provisos for those sins, but if he performs like he did for most of the day you live with the frustration as he's contributing heavily overall when the good and bad are taken into account.
You don't always get the perfect player. You look at what a player CAN do compared to their faults then weigh up the value from there. Then you make decisions. Supporters invariably only look at what a player CAN'T do.
