Don't think people are desperate to put him down, it's just people saying he was poor as he was. Just as Vardy was on Friday (for me Vardy's misses on Friday were much worse). Not really sure where the credit for runs and link up play is coming from, but this seems to be the default response to criticism for Daka. I recall his one bit of link up play where he layed the ball to KDH second half, that was good, but he generally anonymous and 14 touches in 90 minutes shows that.
