Tierney has been shit. No excuses to be made he's all over the place on both ends

KT can't even be fully blamed. He's covering 2-3 players at a time because Mari is useless and Saka isn't covering him

If Saka our winger in our ideal 433 need to fucking defend their wing back something is very wrong with our midfield.

That's the problem. He has to because xhaka and sambi are overloaded and covering the middle. We're tactically screwed right now

Saka clearly very rusty.

Holding doing very well by the way

How is that an advantage over a freekick? Come on ref.

As much as I love saka, he's been woeful. Same with kt and marti

Holdings fine but Lukaku is targeting Mari so he's got a much tougher job.

He was like this at times last season too. He can be pretty erratic. Great character and all around a fantastic player when he's on his game, but the inconsistency is one thing that keeps him from being top class. There's work to be done there, but it requires a competent defensive coach.

They are entering through that flank again and again. Where is our coach?

Really weird the way Tierney is defending against James. Acres of space.

Trust Neville to jump to the ref's aid "good call to give advantage"

i wonder what we work on in training. because i dont think its attacking patterns in the final third or defending either

Intensity really dropped across the board after conceding.

We are getting slaughtered by Reece fkn James. What a coach

lo.. stupid from Mari, went right through the back of lukaku

Mari on a yellow now too, great

That's it from Mari. Need to be careful now but fuck it.
