Which is a ridiculous rating.

I would argue that he was the better CB until that one misplaced pass (and it was Pidge who fouled their guy for the penalty), and as I said last night, he had already blocked two goalbound shots off the line in the first half.

Nobody played well yesterday, and Sweeney has a clanger in him more often than our other CBs (because he is more willing to play out from the back in an attempt to retain possession, rather than just lumping it upfield/out of play), but he also gets slated for things that other players don't even get criticised for, there is no consistency from our fans when it comes to him.

He clearly (and correctly) isn't in our first choice CB pairing and is probably on a decent wage after a few contract extensions, so I wouldn't be upset were he to leave in the summer, but I also think he is mostly perfectly adequate cover as a CB and has been involved in a LOT of clean sheets for us down the years.

A massive overreaction to one misplaced pass (which every single one of our players did countless times yesterday), by people who always have an agenda against him, for me.
