Shame on fans who turned on Kalou
I’d like to tell you it was tongue in cheek but sadly he was serious. There was a disgruntled air around the stadium, the crowd unimpressed by the home display. This followed on from some frankly embarrassing barracking of Kalou, who was subbed on 35 minutes.
I am probably the Ivorian’s harshest critic but I have never booed him, nor have I cheered when he has been substituted. I thought it was all shameful. He was poor, but there were a number of players below par and it could have been one of half a dozen who were called ashore so swiftly. It will be difficult for the player to come back from such a public display of no-confidence.
