What's Happened To Our Defence?

[jrb]

10 goals conceded in the last 4 games.

2 goals conceded in the last 10 minutes at the Etihad against Liverpool and Spurs.

What's happened to our once solid defence from last season?

It’s turned to shit.

 

[ID70]

Akanji isn't good enough to step out in to midfield, and Gvardiol is no left back.

 

[Middedon]

It’s not just the back line. We seem to lack control in the middle too.

This 100% we sign one of the best young centre backs in the world, and stick him at left back, criminal.

Gvardiol is a centre half. He should be playing alongside Dias. Why Pep persist on playing him at left back doesn't make sense. Play Ake at left back.

 

[Evxlved]

rodri is left isolated in the midfield conceding loads of transitions alongside alvarez who isn't a midfielder and bernardo who is given the license roam everywhere on the pitch. Also gvardiol isn't a great 1v1 defender like ake and were missing stones( would like to see akanji and gvardiol swap positions as akanji was great last season defending wide areas)

Not much has happened to our defence, we have lost a bit of control up top and are being countered more. When we sort that out and we will the defence will take care of itself.

Thing is he fucking solved it midweek then this....
I think we're going through stubborn Pep period , we seem to get one every season at varying points
