Well if you class that pass as ambitious, then GC can forget about playing any higher.
Imagination is a beautiful thing. Your imagination doesn't think of the ball to Jervis landing slightly too ahead of him, or too behind him, a dodgy first touch, and all of the many variables that are the reality of football. To you it really is as simple as Carey plays the perfect ball across and Jervis volleys it in first time like Marco Van Basten.
Carey missed his shot on goal, missed the target entirely, and yet he has hit far more difficult shots from twice as far out and put it in the top corner. On more than one occasion.
As I say, if GC had squared the ball to Jervis and HE messed it up (as he did not minutes later!) Carey could quite easily have thought to himself ' in the box with no defender in my way... why didn't I just F'in hit it? What was I thinking?'. DA might have come over and reminded him that he's our star player, and that he needs to have some bottle, take some responsibility and back himself etc.
Long story short, it's far from a certain goal if Carey tries to cross it. It didn't warrant Jervis's strop. Anyone would have thought he just ignored him for a tap in from ten yards with the keeper or out of the box.
