Our defence is such a mess and has so many talking points I think it merits it’s own thread haha.
…..To start, I am seeing Sakho is rumoured to be going out on loan. Thats the beginning of the end in my eyes. So we need at least 1 more CB in my eyes.
I genuinly dont know how to solve our issue. But, thinking about the way we played I will highlight a few points.
1. Did anyone notice Mignolets positioning for both goals. Im no GK coach, but hes charging out to the edge of 6 yard box when there is defensive cover, not really closing the angle down and making it easier to score. It looks to me that if he was 2 paces closer to goal he should have stopped them?……..what do people think?
2. I dont want to hammer Mignolet but is he continuing to cause instability in the defence, for exmaple, people reluctant to play it back to him when we are trying to pass out from back?
3. Henderson. Makes me sad but I just dont see what he brings to the table anymore. Hes not offering anything going forward and imo doesnt become our shield either. I dont think having a good ‘engine’ is enough.
4. Clynne. I dont think his misplaced pass was terminal at burnley we should have still delt with it.
