Ryan Bertrand should never play for us ever EVER again. Whoever targeted him and Vestegaard this summer needs to get out of the club. 

 

 

Fixed

the whole back line is all over the place and why is Madders at DM!

[Ric Flair]

Maddison barely got on the ball last night, not sure if it was the system or because we eere simply so poor from open play but he wasn't involved and really the only players that were were KDH and Barnes. Sadly Barnes end product was very very poor.

I was in SK2 vs Arsenal last month where after 25 mins Bertrand nearly got physically removed from the pitch by the fans – he doesn't come back from this.

Mate three seasons running this team was defending a desirable spot and bottled it. 
 

For a guy who always talks about ‘mentalertyy’ we have ****ing none of it. 

Exactly this. 

 

FA Cup aside last season every other big game with tangible outcomes has been bottled.

Last minute VAR call from bottling that too. Sorry to sour it because it’s a day I will remember forever. The guy is a bottler.

I think Bertrand has been crap, but felt the manager throw him under the bus last night.

 

His played 126 minutes from the 4th of October until now and then only only 58 minutes in November.

 

To chuck him in under cooked and short of form in that game was suicidal

No idea what Bertrand is doing there (WTF is he actually looking at to make him think he's holding the line), however the rest of the defensive shape is shambolic. Absolutely no unity in that back line whatsoever. It really is what you'd expect to see at primary school level. Even if you put Bertrand in line with his man, Castagne looks to be playing Petagna onside anyway, Soyuncu has come rushing out (presumably to play Petagna off) to press a player who KDH is blocking the passing lane to, and Evans has charged out like a man possessed which would be reckless for any defender let alone one who is possibly the slowest in our back line. To then collectively get outpaced by the Italian GTF raises some serious questions. Our defence is beyond broken.

Exactly it goes far beyond just Bertrand's poor positioning. Very concerning considering that's 3/4 of our best possible back four.

Bertrand was not in the starting line up or even the match day squad for that game tbf. I remember Thomas starting at LWB in that match and being awful in the first half but improving in the second when we reverted to a back 4.

And even those touches were pretty dire to be fair 

Stats say that Vardy had only 19 touches.

Risk is BR rushes back an unfit JJ  with catastrophic consequences.

just imagine being a chelsea fan with that var call. there were no way we were winning that if that goal was allowed imo. took 2 class saves from kasper too.

seriously, how is this player completely unmarked in that position ??  It’s so simple to work our back 5/6 to create overloads and free players …..

At first glance, it looks as though Soyuncu is covering KDH's man, with KDH being drawn to face up the ball carrying player with Wilf trying to get back, leaving Soyuncu's actual man free. I might well be wrong though (I probably am) given it looks a counter attack and they look to be scrambling back.

 

What is not up for debate is that Bertrand has dropped a massive bollock here. What is he doing? Looking at the picture, he's either ball watching, or watching Soyuncu and the Napoli player. Either way, he has switched off at quite possibly the worst time. Absolute dog muck.

I know the goal with Bertrand playing them onside will quite rightly get scrutiny but that's not forget the absolute shocking defending for their third. No one putting any effort into block the cross what so ever and then the bloke has an unbelievable amount of time in the box to control the ball and pick his spot. 

 

Rotten to the core.

That looks like Ndidi far too high up the field, badly out of position and failing to get back. Back line completely exposed. Can that be true?

Hey I'm still optimistic about the future, but unless things change rapidly it'll be a future without Brendon.
