this is far too easy for them at the moment, the work rate has dropped, it's too easy for them to both break up our play and counter into our box. They shouldn't get within 20 yards of our box.

Don't know why people think we have been so bad in back. Through balls onto pacy players will be how teams try to attack us all year

How's that a free kick Zab is looking at the ball? Stoke such a bunch of inbreds...

Fernandinho is absolutely brilliant.

Getting out hustled a bit at the moment, players need to pick it up.

Wind having an impact here

It's the defending from the front that's letting them in. The back four are having to deal with sloppy play in their final third.
