He's not the only problem though. Look where Sagna is. I agree they should know better but it highlights the fact we obviously don't coach defensive shape or principles.
Demichelis is standing where Sagna should be and Demichelis should be 10yards away from ottamendi.
I agree Sagna is way off, but I disagree, if you and I can spot it Sagna and Demichellis should know it with out help from a manager. They've got 30+ years proffesional football behind them. It's easy to blame a manager, but sometimes a manager must be as open jawed as us fans.
We have linpmited training time, as a team that has spent 4 months top of the prem, not leaving 30 yards between defenders should be right up there with controle and pass back in terms of importance. There comes a time when you expect professionals to be professional. Next we'll be expecting Pelkegrini to over sea throw in practice.
