I think Lang is getting criticism (me included) because we know he can much better. He seems to be getting into a running battle with officials every week and they way he conducts himself isn’t great (sarcastic applause, throwing his arms about, berating officials). He seems to try to win free kicks rather than getting on with the game and then loses possession and blames the officials.
A lot of our attacks are breaking down when the ball goes to him, he’s not solely to blame but he needs to get back to something like the player we saw a couple of years ago if he’s to warrant a first team place. I hope he does start performing as we know how good he can be at this level.
