Yes RAN can defend as has been proved v Salah. He didn't seem to want to or was instructed otherwise v Chelsea.
I sometimes wonder if 'the free role' he was kind of given last season on odd occasions went to his or O'Neils head, or both maybe. We haven't got a viable alternative though as I see...
Basically I agree. I might give Lima half an hour or so with that formation as well. Don't see we have much to lose at present.
I admit it does all sound a bit horseshoe of doom though. 😔
We've got problems to solve all over the pitch. No coherence between any department. Total mess. Gone from a captain who did no organising to one who's can't organise.
A bigger problem for me are the 'full backs'. Balls crossed in on the floor and to the back post are always going to give centre backs massive problems. That's now exacerbated with Johnstone wearing lead diving boots on the goal line
I flew over for that, I think it cost me about £300 for flights, beer and accommodation. To watch Rory Delap and Wardy slinging long throws in. A game that made me seriously consider if spending the money attending could really be justified. 🙄
Lemina was at fault in some way for the first three Brentford goals. He looks knackered half the time as well. He's trying too hard. I think the captaincy is weighing him down.
It's strange that defensively V Liverpool we were (quite) good with Santi and Toti in the middle of the back four.
You would have thought against Brentford with Dawson in, we'd have been fairly solid. No, weirdly we were as bad defensively as I can remember. Shocking.
Moyes maybe.
Might knock a few heads together.
Not marking at corners is not about coaching. Unless we're talking 6 year olds. Same with full-backs making no effort to cut crosses out. Pathetic, I'd go so far as to say deliberate.
Stupid bookings, inept set pieces and throw-ins, whinging and...
The worst performance of the season by a stretch today. Shockingly bad at the back.
Andre was poor, Lemina was worse. Forbs was good for half an hour. Cunha and SL were ok.
When you see Hwang and Bellegarde coming on to try and rescue something, you know you're on a hiding to nothing.
