It struck me that both Matic (vs AC) and Fred (vs Wolves) got absolutely cremated for losing the ball due to poor ball control and thereafter costing goals. But De Gea was the one who passed the ball straight to them (as opposed to slightly diagonal) just beyond the centre of the penalty box facing United's goal for both instances (if I recall correctly). In such a situation, the defensive mid has no visibility of what is behind them and increases the chances of losing the ball. Should De Gea be passing to better positioned players or am I spewing nonsense? Of course it doesn't excuse our players from not being able to control the ball under pressure. But still, is this the equivalent of a hospital ball?
