Annoying thing is we havenā€™t played too badly, but then just poor defending once again. Do we have defensive coaches at this club atm?

No I thought we looked alright.
But we do just give teams freebies donā€™t we.

We did look ok.
Dembele makes a simple pass in their box and we go 1-0 up.
Instead he screws up and within minutes we concede.
Our problems aren't just all about defending better
Jude should be front and centre of everything England do in the attacking third of the pitch.
Give him the armband now too ! ( AUG 2023 )

No I agree with that, decision making is an issue front to back tbh.

Full back too narrow so couldnā€™t stop the cross

Sanderson decided to mark Ruddy and points to Aiwu to mark Bamford

Aiwu ignores him makes no effort.

Gifted

And Ruddy went awol

We looked ok, I agree, but it wasn't like we were executing a game plan, it was down to individuals.

Watching Stansfield I wouldn't be surprised if he was on the phone to Fulham at half time. What a miserable existence it must be for him up there.
ā€œOh Nikola Zigicā€

Weā€™re not in the game at all now after that goal. Canā€™t get the ball, canā€™t keep the ball when we do have it.
15:45, Mon 1 Jan
Feels like we are a man down.
We just can't get hold of ball and when we do we just huff it forward and give it back to them.

Longelo stops no crosses.
Honestly every game he stands a couple of yards off his man, and just lets him cross it. Time after time

Free header courtesy of aiwu - didn't even jump


I'd have to watch it again ... but wasn't there a plyer behind Aiwu ? - who would have been Aiwu's "man"

Sanderson is the spare man of the 3. he was all over teh place. Aiwu too. Jumped into someone. they left a striker free 6 yards out. it#s basic defending. we need 2 proper centre halves this summer as well as 2 proper strikers. and leaders with a strong mentality. huge overhaul needed. just hope we are not in league 1

Game over do you think? We're not much good at most aspects of the game really.

Yeah game over mate. Will be 2 or 3-0.

Gone to shit now really.
Need halftime asap!

You cant even draw many games if you offer no threat at the opposition end.

I'd have played Buchanan at LB, Aiwu at CB and sorted a right back.
We've got all of Buchanan, Aiwu and Longelo out of position.

And that's 2-0
