There is a reason why he will play for DR Congo and never for England.
Thats the 2nd goal. On that one he could have been closer and done better but like 95% of fullbacks do at some point in a game, the cross came inYou're telling me this is the most effort he could have put in and the best job he could have done at getting tight to Angelino and /or closing down this cross.. Really? It's a shit show all round but he can obviously do a lot, lot better.
LolsAnother 50m wasted on slide tackles.
He and Ole should've learned though. This is exactly what happened against Brighton where AWB gave Trossard all the time and space in the world. We got lucky that game but not today.1st goal was his fault as he just didn't seem aware of his man. Can't blame him too much for the second though. He tucked in and Angelino was quite wide when he received the ball.
I look at Matic in the middle ballwatching and wonder why nobody picked up the runner.

And that reason is that England have RB that every country would choose to have. I'd still have him in the squad for specific matchesThere is a reason why he will play for DR Congo and never for England.
Then beside AWB, let's look at Shaw in this sequence of play. He pressed high. When on his way back had to press Sabitzer a bit when the ball played in front of our defensively line. Now Shaw tried see what is going on, but he was lost. We had extra man in area where there it was not required while leaving Leipzig runner free.You're telling me this is the most effort he could have put in and the best job he could have done at getting tight to Angelino and /or closing down this cross..

We have an idiot in charge thats why.How the feck did we pay 50M for a fecker who cant defend and cant attack. Great at slidding and thats about it. Another one of Ole's brilliant signings along with Maguire and James.
Doesn't matter who we bring in...our coach is cluelessUp there with Maguire's individual masterclass v Chelsea at Wembley last season.
I read on the beeb Ole is looking at bringing in Vazquez from Madrid who would be much more suited as a RWB with AWB still finding a role in a 4?
Ultimately i think AWB will end up at CB.
I wouldn't disagree with you, but its clear now we don't have the players at our disposal to play a 3, so Vazquez would add versatility to allow us to potentially line-up that way.Doesn't matter who we bring in...our coach is clueless
I think calling what he did an attempt at defending is hugely generous.Was pretty shit, but the ones blaming him for the 2nd goal needs to watch the replays again.
Hes the only one who even attempts to defend his area, everyone else is in a big fecking cluster and just ball watching while Leipzig casually rolls the ball out wide and when the ball does come in, not a single one of those idiots ran to the far post despite everyone being at that side
that really annoyed me. Angelino has 1 weapon and thats his left foot.I think calling what he did an attempt at defending is hugely generous.
I mean I guess jogging over to someone who's in a dangerous position and dangling a leg out in a complete half arsed manner is I guess technically an attempt at defending... but it's not one that we should accept.
Angelino was so wide that being closer to him would mean leaving a huge gap in the middle. That defensive "line" was one of the most disgusting things i've seen and at least AWB was attempting to cover some space thereI think calling what he did an attempt at defending is hugely generous.

Makes sense. A player who has absolutely no positional awareness and whose win-rate in aerial duels is in the thirties being played as a CB where those two things are far more important than in his current position.Up there with Maguire's individual masterclass v Chelsea at Wembley last season.

Well said. He had an absolutely awful game last night, but so did pretty much every other player. AWB has been one of our better players over the last 12 months in my opinion. He's got his limits clearly, but then so do most other players, people slating him to this degree is crazy.Bag of shit last night. But IMO still a good player. Can't attack to save his life, don't know if this is him or shite coaching....
I'll go with the latter
Steady yourself there fella. I said "ultimately". We know AWB isn't the finished article, far from it in fact. Saying this, where is Lindelof's aerial duels percentage at out of interest?Makes sense. A player who has absolutely no positional awareness and whose win-rate in aerial duels is in the thirties being played as a CB where those two things are far more important than in his current position.
Makes perfect sense.
Andre Villas Boas?A horrendous night for AVB. Definitely needs competition or replacing to improve himself. Unlike a lot of people, I don't even think he's a good defender. There's more to defending than just being great at tackling.
In the sixties, so around twice as high as AWB’s (while also having more attempts and typically it gets harder in the center cause strikers tend to be taller than left wings/left backs). And well, Lindelof gets criticized for not being good at that (he isn’t good at that), watching AWB there would be tragicomic.Steady yourself there fella. I said "ultimately".
