It's his first Fulham match since 2011 and he's already the scapegoat. HIS FIRST.
"In modern usage a scapegoat is an individual, group, or country singled out for unmerited negative treatment or blame.[1] A whipping boy or "fall guy" is a form of scapegoat."
So, basically, the singling out of errors was not unmerited as he was mainly responsible for the 2nd, and partly responsible for the first. Thus, not a scapegoat.
