Honestly think we'd look better with Gordon through the middle and Barnes on the left.

 

Wilson looks shot

Aye, might as well play a man down when Wilson is left alone upfront with his back towards goal.

The way we're shipping goals just illustrates how critical Pope is to our system, tbf. Dubs doesn't have the reach and isn't fully committed enough to the sweeper role to be effective.

Our defending is dreadful. We never have the game in control, always look like conceding against any opposition.

Makes we wonder if Pope has been making us look way better last year.

Absolutely no idea when a team who have 3/4 attackers with pace and who have caught us out time and time again on the counter attack that he suddenly thinks it’s a good fucking idea to make a run towards their penalty box.

Him and Burn have cost us a fucking stupid amount of goals this season.

Absolutely fucking thick as fuck man.

That’s on Howe though, his instructions and also fucking continuing playing Burn getting rinsed

Defensively poor, midfield defensively poor as usual but can do something going forward (cracking finish Bruno) and our front three have been very quiet, Wilson surely isn't fit.

Feels like a microcosm of the whole season really.

 

That first goal was all of our weaknesses in one go. Too easy to play through the press in midfield, too slow in defence to follow the run, and then Dubravka nowhere near quick enough off his line like Pope would be.

 

A massively jammy second to top things off.

Need a second half injury and then it's to script.

There are two consistently glaring issues in our defensive structure every single week at the moment; the gaps in our midfield, and Dan Burn getting pulled to bits. 

 

One of these is solvable at the moment, the other probably isn't. Eddie needs to act on the one that is to at least give us a chance of getting some confidence back.  

 

Really frustrating that the majority of us can see it but Eddie either can't or doesn't want to, as it's now constantly costing us points.

What was wrong with the run? Should have been a freekick but we still maintained possession.

Surely karius could do a better job at sweeper keeping?
