Not so, he’s been struggling with a lower back injury for some time.
On Sunday it flared up after he was barged over in front of the Kop in the play in the minutes leading up to their goal. Ref ignored an obvious foul there (not his only poor decision in the game). Iorfa recovered to put in a saving tackle in our box and that’s what did for him.
Iorfa is just one example of us dealing with DC’s legacy. Players having to play week in week out carrying injuries, being burnt out, and in some cases only being in the side due to our lack of quality alternatives.
So let’s just remind ourselves of our reality and the hard facts, before having a pop at players.
