Sometimes when you see a replay of the other team getting a chance or scoring, you can't even see where Lindelof is. It's like he's just jogged off down the tunnel to have a piss. WHere does he go? He's at fault for most of our goals, and if he was in a team we were playing against you'd expect us to use Cavani to target him because he'd be a glaring weak link.
He doesn't have a stand out quality defensively and also isn't big/strong enough to compete with physical players...so you'd have to expect every non technical/physical attribute of his game (i.e. mentality, concentration, bravery, etc.) to be faultless, and its not even close.
There was a game recently, Spurs I think ,where Cavani came back and headed the ball off the line, and on first glance you think he's done really well to cover for the defence, but then on the replay you notice that Lindelof is just standing there not doing anything, and could easily have just headed the ball clear himself...and if Cavani hadn't noticed Lindelof being a twat and run in behind him he'd have literally just stood there and let Spurs score, for absolutely no reason. He's either too busy daydreaming to get himself in position, or is too scared to be there in case someone challenges him. Either way its absolute garbage and he shouldn't be getting near the team when he's routinely pulling shite like that. It'd be like a goalkeeper just letting the ball go in because he's too scared to try and save it.
He's our worst player of the ones who Ole seems to favour. He starts every game, presumably based purely on the fact he might play Rashford through with a ball over the top once every month or so. Or possibly just based on the fact Ole refuses to change anything, ever. It doesn't say much for our other defenders, but then Bailly looks better than him when he plays, and Tuanzebe might be better if he played with any regularity.
He also drags other players down with him. Bissaka gets a lot of stick for his far post defending, and some of it is justified, but I wouldn't want to be a fullback with Lindelof on my side of the defence, because I'd never know which player to pick up. You know if you pick up the player you're supposed to, Lindelof will probably just let the guy in front of you score for some reason, and if you pick up the guy in front of you to cover for Lindelof, the guy you're meant to pick up is free, and then Lindelof will wave his arms around moaning as if its your fault.
