And then our defense comes back and does that. Need to score another now. Our 3rd goal was against the run of play. They’ve looked better.
I’m all for blaming kepa but nothing he can do on that one. If he overplayed for the cross, he gets beat by van aanholt and we are criticizing him for leaving the near post open.
I’m just saying that he does not inspire our defenders and probably make them feel like they have to press to save every single touch.
he also defends like none of the other defenders. jorginho calmed the team down until injury time when it became a compete nightmare. tammy and willian with some unforgivable giveaways in stoppage time trying to be cute and then pouting instead of running back.
Willy ran his ass off for the whole 90, I have a bit of sympathy for that. Tammy not going after his bad touch, leading to the header was horrible.
I know frank likes chilwell but if there is a chance to get alaba, who is a LB good enough defensively to also play CB, it’s a no brainer to go after him.
also should be nice and hungry for the next game. If kante isn’t playing again we better be ready to score 3 goals. Also if we go 2 goals up, maybe we try and play more defensive? Or try and figure out some sort of defensive formation? Maybe whichever CB is on the bench comes in as a CDM like mikel used to late? Idk. We need to try something.
dammit; i thought this match was tomorrow for some reason. just caught up on the thread. glad to grab the 3 points and see us continue our tradition of abysmal defending.
