Wow! that's awful. This isn't a blame thread but personally i refuse to put the blame entirely on the centre backs that get very little cover from the midfield and full backs that are either way too timid or just not good enough. Looking at the last five seasons we have conceded:
2017-2018: 28
2018-19: 54
2019-2020: 36 (pretty respectable I feel)
2020-2021: 44
2021-2022: 56 (and a game still to play)
Looking at ten Hag's Ajax stats there is hope he can fix this because, well, it really needs to be fixed.
Yup, just no coordination from front to back, the amount of times you see a single player, usually Fernandes run aimlessly at the opposition only for him to turn around and see no one backing him up - then Ronaldo recently pointing at where Rashford should have been is just ridiculous for a "top" team.
Even average players should be able to carry out simple instructions such as where to be, where and which direction to run in when the opposition has the ball, but the players we have amassed just have no desire to learn the basics, that's why we won't ever be better until we gut the rot, and the rot has unfortunately spread to most of this squad.
