3 cutbacks on Saturday and we just can't learn. This is pathetic defending and happens every game. ETH thought Mount was a great summer signing.
A bit random…ETH thought Mount was a great summer signing.
It’s not on the CBs to do that, they’re the last line of defence in front of the GK. The problem is our midfield.
Yeah it's really poor. Gnabry having this much space is not right. Was licha the one that should have been there? I forget. In any case it's terrible.
We excel at somethingcut backs, set pieces, individual mistakes. we concede them all. in fact, we excel at conceding.

It's pretty telling that it was one of Casemiro, Bruno, McTominay and Erickson in each of the 8 goals. I might have missed it but I didn't see Mount or Mejbri in any of those situations. Now that Mount is back we could field a midfield made up of 3 out of 4 of Mainoo, Mejbri, Mount and Amrabat for a few games to get some defensive control. We would struggle offensively but the guys who are playing need to do the bare minimum of putting some of effort into defending.https://x.com/ConnerJayCole_/status/1710351252075225516?s=20
This is a good analysis. We condeded almost half of the goals this season so far in similar manner where midfielders are not tracking attackers in the box. You don't need to be a world class DM to do simple stuffs. Simple game awareness and not being lazy should have been enough to avoid these easy goals. Parts of the blame falls on the coaching and ETH too as these mistakes keeps repeating.

Yes, you're right. I missed that.Mount was there for the Spurs goal...he let Sarr run
Solskjaer and his soft touch couldn't get them to work hard.
Rangnick and his disappointed teacher shtick couldn't get them to work hard.
Ten Hag and his no nonsense approach can't get them work hard.
Conclusion: we have a bunch of lazy cnuts who may turn it on for a season when they're not in the CL and they have a 25% hit to their wages. Once they get back in, then it's time to kick back and relax.
A supremely dislikable squad of players.
Its getting funny now.

I honestly wonder if our players have even noticed the pattern.
Mentioned this in the match thread, but given that it's our obvious Achilles heel, why don't teams just attempt cutbacks all game against us instead of taking dozens of low % shots?
