Former Nottingham Forest midfielder Jermaine Jenas was forced into a U-turn by Jesse Lingard during the victory over Liverpool on Saturday.
During commentary of the match, in a brief first-half lapse from Lingard, Jenas was critical of the 29-year-old, who is on a one-year deal at the City Ground this season. Much has been made of his lack of form in the first part of the season, but he proved many wrong with a strong display against Liverpool.
In one particular moment in the 29th minute, Jenas noted on commentary: “That was really lazy from Lingard. He has to do better there.” As the match went on, Jenas and fellow Lingard critics were made to swallow their words as he grew into the game.
