As can be seen in the video Cunha does clap the fans but then leaves the pitch on his own leaving the rest of the players and staff out there. He seemed a bit subdued throughout the game. Something appears to be bothering him.

How about taking his and the club's word on it? He says he's injured and they say he's injured. Why immediately assume that the player himself and assorted medical and coaching staff are all colluding in a big lie 'because our gormless prick of a manager has backed himself into a corner and...
Except you didn't say it was 'a theory' or 'an opinion' which was why I asked for proof. So presumably you 'believe' he pulled Johnstone to one side and asked him to pretend he was injured because he was going to play him but he's now changed his mind because he might get abuse if he does. Or...

The quote was from yesterdays press conference by the looks of it. Presumably he's been asked a question and that was part of the answer. It didn't sound like an excuse but more like a fairly obvious statement of the facts.
I trust O'Neil's judgment considerably more than yours. He obviously thought Doc was a better bet than either a broken Johnny or a not quite fit enough Bueno.
