Thus says Kemo
Which is utter bollocks. Unless a goal is scored by a a run from deep by a midfielder or a preventable long range shot. Every other goal that can possibly be scored is supposed to by prevented by the keeper and his defence. Team can defend all day and as 11 men but still concede if their back 4 and keeper are not ding their job. Which is to prevent goal. Especially those scored by wingers and strikers in open play.They are all things that contribute to stopping goals. Without a team doing those things they would concede goals aplenty. The very point I was making right back at the start. That is why the responsibility for stopping goals cannot just be for the defence alone.
Rather, you have chosen to ignore my answers. You keep equating helping someone do his job, in a moment of crisis, to having his job full time.I have given you scenarios that prove that every player has defensive responsibility at some point in a game, the defensive midfielder especially, whether that bve Owen Hargreaves, Michael Carrick or Darren Fletcher. You have chosen to ignore them..
Here is where the discussion ends. You clearly have never played football in your life. That is why you don't get the difference between defending and directly stopping a goal being scored.Defending and stopping goals are the same thing.
