Trent would have a field day against Barnes IMO

I don’t get why Barnes is still so poor defensively.

That's poor from Kasper on reflection. He loves parrying straight down the middle of his box 

Just what I said club legend but on £120,000 a week with 16 months left of the contract, I can see why the club aren't in a rush to offer any extension, we will get a similar level keeper somewhere for £30k a week.

It wasn’t inexplicable. It was a good ‘screen’ to force him off his man. 

He wasn’t screened off tho, he simply lost him

I'd get Barnes on at half time. Lookman has been poor. 

Thought he has done well

The set up was fine tho. All Ndidi had to do was mark VVD. He inexplicably lost his man. He wasn’t even blocked so he can’t blame tgat. It was a basic defensive error. 

Correct. But when one player makes a mistake in zonal everyone jumps in and blames the zonal system. Strange that they never treat a mistake in man for man the same way.

I'll buy that for a diollar

[Tanya]

I want to praise the backline   and I do think they've been better, but I'm mystified by Ndidi's form this season. Even playing in his preferred position,  he's been poor. 

 

How bad is Vestergaard if he can't get a game during this defensive crisis. 

 

And, because I hate being wholly negative:  KDH has been excellent,  as has Albrighton and Daka.

Maybe that's why Chilwell had an issue with him.

move him up front Henry style

[StanSP]

We really do need to stop with the fancy shit. Can't do it against these opponents because it leads to chances like that.

Buy it for a Euro. Stronger.

He does leave Thomas exposed at times while defending, but that’s not his game to be fair.

Who? Foxestalk scapegoat 2021/22 edition?

[lcfcsnow]

We look like a newly promoted side just trying to keep the score down

[Eskay]

0 urgency in this 2nd half so far 

[Haywood_6]

My TV is about to go into idle mode. Usually I reach for the remote but on this occasion I might let it happen

Haaa. Not even close. I'll see your Tielemans and raise you Soyuncu. 

[splinterdream]

We give them so much time on the ball

He’s pretty much our best player - perhaps Rodgers is just leaving him out tonight for punishment, but going forward he needs to play cause it’s a big hole there without him
