Blaming only/mostly Kova for our defensive problems vs Fulham is probably wrong. The other defensive players weren't great, it was a collective problem.

It's not on Kova alone, it's a combination of that midfield 3, off the ball it wasn't good enough at the weekend. I think Bernardo has to be 1 of the 3 at the moment.

I admit that Kova’s defensive positioning has not been good in his whole career. But what I don’t agree is to single him out and make him the one that should be replaced. He was still in the key defending area and made crucial challenges/destroy in the defensive phase. You cannot blame just one player for the loose man marking in the box. The second goal was on Stones more than anyone else for not keeping a proper distance with the man he was marking.Ball retention isn't my main issue, it's positioning and workrate off of the ball given he's the 'defensive midfielder'.

I hate to say it but are we about to have a "Class of 2024"? A starting line up of Erling's baby, Kova's baby and Jack's baby? Kyle's kids would take up all the remaining spots on the line up.kova didn’t join the national team and will miss the first game, to copy erling, baby soon.
