Can't recall much of the coverage aside from that clip of them all dancing in the warm-up. That was spread around a lot because it was funny and unique, and probably contributed more than it should. I would hope it was more a combination of pundits not knowing a huge amount outside of the squad's star players, and seeing them all dancing and basing their usual opening cliches around it.
Wouldn't surprise me if fans loudly think the way you're referencing. It is still something a lot cannot get beyond which is a shame.
Last few times I've seen Hogan, he hasn't worked hard. He's driven me up the wall because he's ambled around, not shown for the ball, and lost it when it does reach him.
