Thats a good clip. Really illustrates Joeys point about where players do things changing your opinion.
If Zokora had done that 20 yards higher up the pitch you would have blamed one of the many players behind him.
If on the other hand I came onto this thread and said he was great and showed a clip of that block he did against Reading, saying he needs to do that more, wouldn't everybody think I was just basing my opinion on one incident?
Where players do things on the picth also has a big effect on how big an error is, not just your opinion.
Kids are taught from a young age never to pass the ball across your own goal, therefore a misplaced pass in that area is much more important then one further up the field.
The clip is merley highlighting one example, it isnt necessiarly a representation of my view of him as a player and certainly not the sole basis for my opinion of his ability/potential.
Had you posted the clip and view you suggested in your hyperthetical scenerio I personally would not have assumed you had based your whole opinion on one incident, I would have merley thought you were using it to illustrate what you think he is capable of and overall opinion had been based on assessing his proformances as a whole over the course of last season.
I would find it hard to believe anyone would base an opinion on someone based on a single incident, especially in todays age where every supporter has access to coverage in one form or another of every game our clubs play.
