Mendy is class at it too, i know he's injured now but still. I'm genuinely shocked more players don't attempt to get better at it, low crosses are absolutely horrible for a defender to deal with.

Consistency is important, a player who does one good thing in 60 minutes is not worth pursuing with.

Don't understand the " Merino is due a goal" stuff tbh, he doesn't even get close to goal. and tbh i couldn't care less if he does score or not, doesn't enhance his performances in any way.

I don't like him at all, everytime Southampton went down his side they got a lot of joy. Not to mention he was lucky to get away with Tadic missing an open goal. Rafa has his reasons but Mbemba was nowhere near as soft defensively as he's shown to be.

It's not drama, it's just you are needlessly negative afar. To the point that it comes across as if you feel even think remote positively thoughts then the team will see it and get over confident.

It’s his first mistake for us, calm it down eh? I'm clam thanks. He's played about 97mins of football for us and loads of people on here go on like he's a footballing god. It was a schoolboy error. No they didn't.

So fucking stupid.

Merino is so good at taking the ball from players trying to dribble past him

Probably more that he doesn't trust the alternatives.

:lol: What a spot. Oh my god that's brilliant

Before the stupid challenge i thought he's been fine tbh, don't recall too much created on his side. Manquillo on the other hand....

They haven't really, Tadic aside Elliot has had no saves to make. Their "chances" are basically Elliot being a pleb and the defence looking unaware of how to deal with crosses. They haven't created much at all.

Considering how s*** Manquillo was supposed to be, I don't think he's a bad game for us yet. He's been fine. Can't remember him stopping a cross so far today. Every time they go down the right hand side they get a lot of joy, he definitely hasn't been fine. Not to mention he was at fault for their best chance. I don't like him at all, Rafa has his reasons but Mbemba never came close to making me as nervous.

In fairness they haven't actually created that many chances to finish except the Tadic header. It's all approach play and crosses which have led to nothing. Aye, Rafa's got this. I'm still very nervous mind Don't like how many crosses Manquillo is allowing on his side and the team seems to lack composure on the whole today.

I don't like Manquillo at all, every time they go down the right hand side a chance is created.

Zero composure in this team, every time we get the ball we hit it long.

Don't know about everyone else but i'm nervous everytime a cross goes into the box.

Fuck a LB, we need a goalkeeper desperately.

Workrate. That and general mobility.

Those kind of statistics can be misleading, as it can be usually poor defending in the first place that lead to making those interceptions. Usually has been, he got attracted to the ball for that Tadic chance for example.

Don't like how we are dealing with these crosses.

Looked like he just fell over to me

Elliot

Lovely hit that.
