Every few months we will get a moment in football that sparks pundits, journalists and fans to come to the realisation that 'players are human too'. Any time I hear this line, it's tinged with sarcasm but it also reflects a sad reality in the modern game.
In the world of social media which can be a home for the most toxic of fan behaviour, the idea players can fail and require sympathy rather than unrelenting abuse is unlikely to gain you many retweets. This really hit home when I was alerted to a clip posted on Twitter, originally from a YouTube video during Chelsea's draw with Leicester City last week.
Uploaded by channel Extraordinary Pig's Stadium, the video taken from the West Stand towards the East focuses on the Chelsea bench during the second half.
