Noble/Ogbonna spat suggests deep problems
Quite simply the bloke went over the line and acted in a crazed manner as he turned on – of all people – Angelo Ogbonna, who had appeared to reprimand him for a wayward pass that put the team under pressure.
Noble played a poor ball towards Cresswell who lost out to a Palace player before the move was finally halted by Roberto.
Ogbonna then aimed a mouthful towards Noble whose response was horrendous as he raced towards him in a rage of epic proportions before eventually being halted by Antonio and Cresswell.
Even at that stage he was fighting to get out of their grip whilst Oggy looked on mildly, seemingly half amused. It was not good, really not good!
The incident simply wasn’t worth such a dreadful over-reaction and Noble should feel thoroughly ashamed of himself.
Worse than that, it suggested possible bad blood from the dressing room because the response to a few words from the centre half was abnormal in the extreme.
If that is the case that the manager is no longer in control of what’s going on at that level – frankly I found the whole scenario shameful and embarrassing.
