All stems from the fact we can’t take a decent set piece.
If he killed Mahrez we'd be down to 10 men and he'd be out for the rest of the season and his United contract. He ran back, dissuaded him from trying to go on goal and delayed him so his team could reset. Everything you'd be told to do in a basic defensive training lesson.He only looked good because he ran back. That's all he did. He ran back. Good to have a defender with pace but if this was Bailly he would have killed Mahrez instead of just looking at him waiting for something to happen.
WAs thinking the same. I think ddg could've cleared it if he'd come for it.Btw, Neuer would have swept that up.
Put some pressure on him ffs. He clearly sees vardy coming so decided to play it safe." Not my fault here". Good defender would not allow mahrez so much freedom.Other than back off what could Smalling have done to prevent the pass to Vardy?
Not the whole thing, but that was a very winnable challenge and he made no attempt to make it.Eh? Thats never on Smalling.
I was thinking more in terms of being unlucky. Twice he's fumbled while in possession, ending up with a goal kick and throw in. Having said that, he needs to do more with all his possession.What?
Indeed, he just walks around offering nothing for anyone, should constantly be challenging his defender, instead waits until they’ve doubled on himMartial's off the ball movement leaves so much to be desired.
But if we did it, would you call it any different?I would call it "how to lump it forward and get lucky with the break of the ball" by Leicester City.
Might have messed up as he has mistakes in him more than de Gea.Btw, Neuer would have swept that up.
To be honest that was my first thought..De Gea at fault there for me
Had an eternity to come out for that and clear away
Lindelöf is actually worse than Jones, cause he was already running and ahead of Vardy.1-0 Vardy
He shot it way wide but it was deflected on goal. Was even worse than it looked.He didn't shoot. He was tackled.
I think everyone in here should go to specsavers.
i was wondering thatWAs thinking the same. I think ddg could've cleared it if he'd come for it.
Jones did not because he was jogging initially. The moment Vardy got in front of him, he should have been sprinting back. Smelling did all he did. Why on earth is Lindlof playing at RB?He didn't just stand there. Smalling did well to actually catch up with Mahrez there and prevent a clear one v one. If Smalling took Mahrez down in that situation you just know Liescester were going to be awarded a penalty. Jones couldn't cover ground on Vardy like Smalling did on Mahrez
What..?He only looked good because he ran back. That's all he did. He ran back. Good to have a defender with pace but if this was Bailly he would have killed Mahrez instead of just looking at him waiting for something to happen.
De Gea never comes out. Lloris would have.Could De Gea have come for the ball?
Point I was making is that I felt ddg should have come out for that and clearedMight have messed up as he has mistakes in him more than de Gea.
