I don't think anyone does want them to mess up, quite the reverse, they have very high expectations and when you have those because you think a band is more than capable of meeting them then of course you're disappointed if they don't seem to have their heart in a performance but it's a TV show so they're not entirely in control and the cameras are right up close and maybe some viewers over analyse the bands mood/feelings? Possible?
Y2kyle16 who was at the show has said they did 3 songs from Resistance....we just need to wait till Sunday. The Tuesday live show are only broadcasting a couple from the headline band & I think the bands are being asked to do a revisit from an earlier appearance.....think Design was performed the first time they were on Jools (I'm guessing as Snow Patrol did a similar thing last week and there was a reference to how long it was since the Manics had first appeared) so I don't think they're neglecting their Resistance duties... 
Sure we're all fans and we shouldn't agree on everything or anything maybe....but sometimes it feels like it all gets a bit over involved and people are loud with their opinions and not so engaging...
and if I may be brave and add claims that the band and/or their friends are being disrespectful to their friend Richey is disrespectful and I don't see the need

There is a rapture on the lonely shore

By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
I love not man the less, but Nature more," - Byron
'I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.' (from Sea Fever - John Masefield)
"Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul
And sings the tune without the words
And never stops at all" - Emily Dickinson
