Davinson shouldn't be made a scapegoat for today's result. He and Toby were handling West Ham (and Antonio specifically) pretty well. His own goal was disappointing but he needed to put something on it to stop a guaranteed goal behind him.
Aurier committing stupid fouls to give away dangerous free kicks and the inability of a Sissoko-Winks CM partnership not to get overrun was more to blame.
It was poor, yes, and I've not said otherwise. But the ball coming into the box in the first place was the bigger issue for me.Come on, plenty of defenders deal with crosses like that without putting in their own goal. I would say an own goal in that situation is by far the least likely outcome versus dealing with it properly.

His feet were all wrong, he did terribly for the goal. Why are we defending him for the goal?
