You can get away with an awful lot in the first season. There's the novelty value, the promise of the new and wanting to be one of the first there. A massive amount of goodwill has been exterminated. The club has looked like a right chancer, particularly the massive price increases, evoking...
Be thankful it wasn't Aurier. Based on the pitch, he'd have run you down, reversed over you, got out to give you resuscitation and instead committed a foul throw. Then Sissoko would have followed along and kicked you in the head, when he'd meant to support it.
